After You Clean; Cleaning The Nozzle; Removable Brushes - Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Owner's Manual

After You Clean

A. Allow carpet to dry. To help prevent matting and resoiling the carpet, keep children and pets away
from carpet until it is completely dry.
If it is necessary to walk on damp carpet, place towels or white cloths on the traffic areas.
If furniture must be replaced before the carpet is dry, use plastic or aluminum foil pads under legs of
furniture so metal slides or wood finishes will not stain the carpet.
B. If desired, the carpet may be rinsed.
Rinsing is not necessary for cleaning, but it may improve the surface's appearance after it is dry.
If rinsing is desired, be careful not to over wet the carpet.
Allow time for carpet to dry completely between cleaning and rinsing.
To rinse, follow the same procedure for cleaning only using hot tap water with no detergent in the
upper clean solution tank.
C. Empty tanks, rinse with clear water and let air dry.
D. Remove debris from recovery tank filter and rinse with clean water.
Note: If the filter must be removed for cleaning, it is easier to replace if the filter is wet.
E. If desired, vacuum thoroughly after carpet has completely dried. This will help reduce any shading
left by the cleaner's brushes.

Cleaning the Nozzle

If lint or other debris becomes lodged in the nozzle, do not attempt to remove nozzle cover. Pour one to
two cups of clear water on a non-carpeted floor. Do not pour water onto a wood floor. Pick-up the
water with the spotter/carpet cleaner. Repeat as necessary until debris is flushed out of nozzle. To clean
the outside of the machine, wipe off dirt with a cloth dampened in warm water and mild detergent. Do
not use solvent or petroleum based products to clean the machine.
