Maintenance; Dirty Water Tank - Hoover fh50800 Owner's Manual

Familiarize yourself with these home maintenance tasks as proper use and care of your cleaner will ensure
continued cleaning effectiveness.
Any other servicing should be done by an authorized service representative.
A Thermal Protector has been designed into your cleaner to protect it from overheating. When the
thermal protector activates the cleaner will stop running.
If this happens proceed as follows:
1. Turn cleaner OFF and unplug it from the electrical outlet.
2. Empty dirty water tank and clean filters.
3. Inspect and remove any blockages. Blockages may occur at the cleaner inlet, hose, and brushroll.
4. When cleaner is unplugged and motor cools for 30 minutes, the thermal protector will deactivate
and cleaning may continue.
If the thermal protector continues to activate after following the above steps, your cleaner
needs servicing.

dirtY water tank

Your carpet cleaner is equipped with a shut off
valve within your dirty water tank. When the dirty
water tank becomes full, the float (viewed from top
of tank) will rise, shutting off the air flow thru the
nozzle.
noTe: The float in your carpet cleaner, located in the
dirty water tank, will shut off the suction when the
dirty water tank is full. For best results, use smooth,
steady motion keeping the nozzle flat against the
carpeting. Tipping the cleaner and breaking the seal
of the nozzle and carpeting will cause the float to rise
and shut off the suction. Once the float is activated,
empty the dirty water tank. If the dirty water tank does
not appear full, turn the power switch off and wait for
the float to settle and reset. If the float repeatedly
shuts off the suction, empty the dirty water tank. For
best results, use only Hoover
detergent. Other Solutions may generate excessive
foam which will cause the float to rise prematurely
and shut off the suction. Add Hoover
Cleansing detergent to the fill line indicated on the
Clean Water Solution Tank after adding clean water.
A higher concentration of shampoo may cause
excessive foaming.
