Picking up spills
Your HOOVER SteamVac
TM
cleaner may also
be used to pick up sma]l liquid spills on car-
pet, upholstery, or hard floors.
For best results, pick up spills immediately
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 the SpinScrub mode selec-
tor to SPILL PICK-UP in front of the spill,
pull the nozz]e very slowey over the spill
initially with suction only. Repeat with spray
and suction.
When picking up spills on hard floors, use
only the floor nozzle with the Bare Floor
Tool attachment in place (see "Cleaning hard
floors", Figs. 3.5-3.6). Slide the SpinScrub
mode selector to SP1LL PICK-UP or OFF.
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 treated
by following the instructions provided by
the manufacturer of the carpet, upholstery,
or hard floor surface being cleaned.
Do not use the 5teamVac
TM
cleaner to pick
up flammable or combustible liquids or
chemicals.
When finished, follow "After cleaning"
instructions.
After cleaning
a. Allow carpet or upholstery to dry. To help
prevent matting and resoiling the carpet,
keep children and pets away from surface
until it is completely dry. If it is necessary to
wa]k on damp carpet, place towels or white
cloths on the traffic areas.
If furniture must be replaced before the car-
pet is dry, place plastic or aluminum foil
under legs of furniture so metal slides or
wood finishes will not stain the carpet.
b. Empty tanks, rinse with clear water and
let air dry. Rinse the recovery tank lid and
let air dry.
Any unused detergent may be left in the
detergent container for future use.

filter screen located
