Your HOOVER SteamVac deep cleaner
may also be used to pick up small liq-
uid spills (1 gallon or less, never to
exceed 1/4 inch in depth) on carpet,
upholstery, or bare floors.
For best results, pick up spills immedi-
ately by placing the stair/upholstery
nozzle just above the spill and suction
up any residue on top of the carpet. If
the spill remains, place either the stair/
upholstery nozzle or floor nozzle with
brushes turned OFF in front of the spill,
pull the nozzle very slowly over the spill
initially with suction only Repeat with spray
and suction.
When picking up spills on bare floors,
use only the floor nozzle with the bare
floor attachment in place and speed
selector in the OFF position (thiswill help
prevent spreading the spill),
If a spot is left, the stair/upholstery nozzle is
generally more effective for removing it.
Although no cleaning solution can com-
pletely remove all spots, they can be treat-
ed by following the instructions provided by
the manufacturer of the carpet, upholstery,
or bare floor surface being cleaned.
Do not use the SteamVae deep cleaner
to pick up flammable or combustible liq-
uids or chemicals.
When finished, follow "After cleaning"
instructions on pages 9-10.
