Embedded Dirt FINDER TM

feature (somemode sonly)

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 'Dirt FINDER'

feature is ready the red light will 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 through-

out cleaning except when the detector

senses that a larger amount of dirt is

being picked up; then the red light will

come on.

(Fig. 2-7 continued)

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 sur-

face dust and lint which the system may

not detect, or that the carpet is general-

ly clean. To increase the feature's sen-

sitivity 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.

Carpet height

adjustment

When it is necessary to raise and lower

the front of the cleaner for various car-

pet pile heights, slide the carpet height

control (C) to the desired setting.

For maximum cleaning performance,

the following carpet height settings are

recommended:

• Low setting: for all types of carpet

• Higher settings: for very deep pile

carpet where easier pushing effort is

desired, while maintaining good clean-

ing performance.

Note: If the cleaner is difficult to push,

slide control to the next higher setting.

BRUSH ROLL

ON OFF

CARPET HARD

Brush roll control

Note: When handle is in upright

position, brush roll is automatically

OFF.

Move the brush roll control only when

the handle is in the upright position.

Slide control to "Carpet" to turn brush

roll ON for cleaning carpet or rugs.

Slide control to "Hard" to turn brush roll

OFF when cleaning bare floors.

AUTOMATIC

BRUSH ROLL

()

ON OFF

Automatic brush roll

indicator (some models only)

When red is in the OFF window, brush

roll is STOPPED.

When red is in the ON window brush roll

is ROTATING.

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 front of clean-

er as shown and will prevent rug from

clinging to cleaner.

Continue to lift front of cleaner so that

when you have reached the edge, it is

completely off the rug. Move cleaner

back to start again, lower front of cleaner,

and use only forward strokes.

Edge cleaning

Special edge groomers are provided

on both sides of the front of the cleaner

to remove dirt in carpet near base-

boards and furniture.

Guide either side parallel to the edge of

carpet or furniture.

included with your cleaner.

Check bag indicator

(some models only)

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 completely red:

1. Ifthe bag is full; change the bag.

2. Ifvery fine materials have been picked

up, clogging the bag pores; change the

bag.

3. Ifthere is a blockage at the front of the

cleaner, in the hose, tools or at the bag

opening; remove the blockage (see

"Clearing blockages" section).

Familiarize yourself with these home

maintenance tasks as proper use and

care of your cleaner will ensure contin-

ued cleaning effectiveness.

Filter bag

When to replace

Check filter bag from time to time.

Change the filter bag when dirt reaches

the dotted line. If more dirt than this

accumulates, your cleaner will not oper-

ate effectively.

Note: All new carpet has loose fibers

which can fill the bag quickly 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 fil-

ter bag often, even if you have a

"Check Bag" indicator and it does not

show red.

CAUTION: Very fine materials, such

as face powder, cornstarch, fireplace

ashes or fireplace soot, 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 filter

bag often.

Where to buy

Service Centers, or through The Hoover
