25 For maximum cleaning per-
formance, the following carpet
height settings are recommended.
Cleaners with Two Settings:
• Setting 1 (A): for bare floors and all
carpet types.
• Setting 2 (B): if easier pushing effort
is desired while maintaining good
cleaning performance.
Cleaners with Four Settings:
• Lowest setting (1): for bare floors
and low pile, level loop, kitchen type
carpet.
• Next setting (2): for other types of
carpet.
• Higher settings (3-4): for very deep
pile carpet where easier pushing effort
is desired, while maintaining good
cleaning performance.
Note: If the cleaner is difficult to push,
slide knob to the next higher setting.
Note: Check and change the filter bag
frequently when using cleaner on new
carpet due to rapid accumulation of car-
pet fluff.
CAUTION: Very fine materials, such
as face powder and cornstarch, 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.

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) 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.
Where to buy
Filter bags may be purchased from your
local Authorized Hoover Dealer (Depot),
leading retailers, or from a Hoover Fac-
tory Service Center.

lower the nozzle for various car-
pet pile heights, slide the nozzle con-
trol knob to the desired setting.
For ease in sliding knob, the handle
should be in the upright position.
The nozzle will not move into the
adjusted position until the cleaner
handle is lowered to the operating
position.
Maintenance
Disconnect cleaner from electrical
outlet before attempting to service it
in any manner.
Do not operate without filter bag in
place.
The filter bag
When to replace
Check filter bag from time to time. It is
recommended that you change the bag
when dirt reaches the bottom of the bag
collar. If more dirt than this accumulates,
your cleaner may not operate effectively.

gen Filtration Type A disposable filter
bags in order to maintain the original
