Edge cleaning

Edge cleaning is provided on both sides

of nozzle to remove dirt in carpet near

baseboards and furniture. Guide either

side of nozzle parallel to edge of carpet

or furniture.

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.

What to buy

Use only

Genuine HOOVER® Aller-

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

cleaning effectiveness of your cleaner.

Regular

HOOVER® Type A disposable

filter bags also fit your cleaner.

To assure that your cleaner operates at

peak performance, it is imperative that

you use only genuine HOOVER filter

bags made by The Hoover Company.

HOOVER bags can be identified by

these trademarks -

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.

Maintenance

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.

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.

Carpet height adjust-
ment

lower the nozzle for various car-

pet pile heights, slide the nozzle con-

trol knob to the desired setting.
