When it is necessary to raise and

lower the nozzle for various carpet

pile heights, slide the nozzle control

knob (B) to the desired setting.

mance, the following carpet height

settings are recommended:

• Lowest setting: for all types of

carpet

Note: If the cleaner is difficult to

push, slide knob to the next higher

setting.

• Higher settings: for very deep

pile carpet where easier pushing

effort is desired, while maintaining

good cleaning performance.

Embedded DirtFINDER™

feature (some models only)

With red and green lights (A), the ‘Dirt

FINDER’ system alerts the user to

areas of carpet that may need more

cleaning attention. It is able to sense

when larger amounts of dirt particles,

especially embedded dirt, are

removed.

To let you know that the ‘DirtFINDER’

feature is ready, the red light will

Handle position

For ease in sliding knob, the handle

should be in the upright position (C).

The nozzle will not move into the

adjusted position until the cleaner

handle is lowered to the operating

position (D).

HIGH BARE

2-8

come on when the cleaner is first

turned on. After a few seconds, the

red light will go off and the green

light will come on. Cleaning may

then begin.

The green light will remain on

throughout cleaning except when

the detector senses that a larger

amount of dirt is being picked up;

then the red light will come on.

When the red light is on, you should

take additional cleaning strokes in

the area until it changes to green.

•The red light may seldom come on

during cleaning. This means that

your cleaner is picking up primarily

fine surface dust and lint which the

system may not detect, or that the

carpet is generally clean. To

increase the feature’s sensitivity to

dirt, set the switch (B) to the “Hi”

position.

•At other times, the red light may

stay on for a considerable amount of

time. This means that the carpet

contains a high level of dirt which is

being removed by the cleaner. To

decrease the feature’s sensitivity to

dirt, set the switch to the “Reg.”

(Regular) position.

Cleaning lightweight

flexible rugs

Stand on one end of rug and move

cleaner toward other end or edge.

Before reaching edge, push down

on handle. This will lift up the nozzle

(front of cleaner) as shown and will

prevent rug from clinging to cleaner.

Continue to lift up nozzle so that

when you have reached the edge, it

is completely off the rug. Move

cleaner back to start again, lower

nozzle, and use only forward

strokes.

2-10 2-12

2-13

Edge cleaning

Special edge groomers are provid-

ed on both sides of the nozzle to

remove dirt in carpet near base-

boards and furniture.

Guide either side of nozzle parallel

to edge of carpet or furniture.

Stair cleaning

A stair cleaning handle has been

designed for ease in using your

cleaner on stairs. With handle in

operating position, place fingers

under edge of stair cleaning handle

and guide cleaner with other hand

on upper handle.

As an alternative, you may use the

hose and powered hand tool or fur-

niture nozzle for stair cleaning.

Clean from bottom to top.

When using cleaning tools, the

agitator will continue to rotate.

CAUTION: To avoid personal

injury or unnecessary wear to car-

pet, and to prevent the cleaner

from falling, always place it at

bottom of stairs.

How to attach tool

cover

The tool cover is designed with a

“break-away” feature which allows it

to snap free if it is pushed open too

far.

To reattach, align hinges of cover

with slots on sides of tool storage

area.

Push cover down to secure in place.

Cleaning tools

Tools allow for cleaning surfaces

above the floor and for reaching

hard to clean areas.

The cleaner is ready for tool use

when handle is in upright posi-

tion.

CAUTION: Agitator continues to

rotate while cleaner handle is in

upright position. Avoid tipping

cleaner or setting it on furniture,

fringed area rugs or carpeted

stairs during tool use.

Removing hose

When using cleaning tools, cleaner

handle should be in the upright

position. Also, turn cleaner OFF

before disconnecting and con-

necting hose to hose tube (A).

To use hose, lift hose end as shown.

Lower cover (B) onto hose tube.

When you are finished cleaning with

the tools, be sure to lift cover from

hose tube and reposition hose

Where to buy

Filter bags may be purchased from

your Authorized Hoover Dealer,

Leading Retailers, Hoover Factory

Service Centers, or through The

Hoover Company on-line at

www.hoover.com.

What to buy

To assure cleaning effectiveness,

use only Genuine HOOVER® HEPA

Filtration Type Y disposable filter

bags.

Familiarize yourself with these home

maintenance tasks as proper use

and care of your cleaner will ensure

continued cleaning effectiveness.

2-16

3. Maintenance

Filter bag

When to replace

Check filter bag from time to time. It

is recommended that you change

the filter bag before debris reaches

the bottom of the bag collar. If more

dirt than this accumulates, your

cleaner will not operate effectively.

Note: All new carpet has loose

fibers which can fill the bag quick-

ly while vacuuming. This type of

debris does not activate the “Check

Bag” indicator, available on some

models.

So,if you are using the cleaner on

new carpet, be sure to change the

filter bag often, even if you have a

“Check Bag” indicator and it does

not show red.

CAUTION: Very fine materials,

such as face powder or corn-

starch, may seal the filter bag and

may cause it to burst even though

it is only partially full of dirt.

When cleaner is used to remove

material of this nature, change fil-

ter bag often.

It is imperative that you use only

genuine HOOVER filter bags distrib-

uted by The Hoover Company to

assure that your cleaner operates at

peak performance. HOOVER bags

can be identified by these trade-

marks —

How to clean tools

To clean the hose, wipe off dirt with

a cloth dampened in a mild deter-

gent. Rinse with a damp cloth.

Cleaning tools may be washed in

warm water with a detergent. Rinse

and air dry before using.

2-19

Check bag indicator

The indicator (K) will begin to show

red as the filter bag fills with dirt.

There are three conditions that will

cause the indicator to become com-

pletely red:

1. If the bag is full; change the bag.

2. If very fine materials have been

picked up, clogging the bag pores;

change the bag.

3. If there is a blockage in the nozzle,

hose, tools or at the bag opening;

remove the blockage (see “Clearing

blockages” section).

2-17

2-18

Extra reach hose*

The extra reach hose provides an

extra 20 foot reach for easier clean-

ing of stairs and hard to reach high

places. Follow the steps below for

attaching and detaching the hose.

Attach hose

Push ON/OFF switch to OFF posi-

tion. Remove regular hose from

cleaner. Align end of extra reach

hose with projections (I) over slots

(J) in dirt duct.

Slide hose into (J) and twist hose to

lock it into place.

(To detach hose, reverse proce-

dure.) Attach wands or tools to the

other end of hose.

*Available at additional cost if not

included with your cleaner.

Cleaning final filter

The final filter assists in the filtra-

tion process to return clean air to

the room.

To remove this filter when it be-

comes dirty, open the door on the

side of the cleaner.

Lift out filter (B) and hand wash it in

cold water with mild detergent.

Let filter air dry and reposition it on

the side of the cleaner. Make sure

the green colored side of filter faces

outward. Close door.

Should you want to replace this fil-

ter, ask for HOOVER part No.

Do not operate cleaner without

either the secondary or final filter

in place.
