Before You Begin Cleaning - Hoover SMARTWASH+ User Manual

Before You Begin Cleaning:

Vacuum carpet and upholstery thoroughly before use.
Don't use the carpet cleaner as a traditonal vacuum cleaner.
Check the label on your upholstery to make sure it is suitable
for wet cleaning before using your HOOVER® carpet cleaner.
Test for colorfastness in a small, hidden area. Gently rub
surface with a dampened white cloth. Wait ten minutes and
check for color removal or bleed with a white paper towel.
Move furniture out of area to be cleaned. Place aluminum
foil or wax paper under legs of furniture too heavy to move to
prevent wood finishes from staining carpet. Pin up furniture
skirts and drapes.

CAUTION
! !
Do not clean over floor electrical outlets. Water will drip
from the brushes and underside of the product after use
and may puddle. To avoid damage to wood and laminate
flooring and to avoid potential slip hazard, after use (a)
do not leave the product on wood and laminate surfaces
and move to a hard surface and (b) place cleaner on an
absorbent material (such as a towel) to soak up drips.
IMPORTANT: For full suction, it is important that the
Dirty Water Tank is properly secured before cleaning.
Continue using dry strokes until little water is visibly
passing through the Nozzle.
For best results, HOOVER® recommends rinsing carpet
with water only. This removes residual carpet cleaning
solution. Remove Solution Tank and repeat. For heavily
soiled areas, repeat. Avoid saturating carpet.
NOTE: Empty Dirty Water Tank when the motor sound
becomes higher pitched and there is a loss in suction
(see "Automatic shut-off"). You will also see the float
rise and shut off suction at the same time.
IMPORTANT: Only use approved Hoover Carpet Washer
solutions in your Hoover Smartwash machine to avoid
invalidating the warranty. Using other detergents
may invalidate the warranty.
