Edge cleaning
Edge cleaning is provided on both sides
of nozzle to remove dirt in carpet near

or furniture.

outlet before attempting to service it
in any manner.
Do not operate without paper bag in
place.
The filter bag
When to replace
Check filter bag from time to time. It is
recommended that you change the filter
bag when dirt reaches the dotted line.
If more dirt than this accumulates, your
cleaner may not operate effectively.
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, cornstarch, fireplace
ashes or fireplace soot, 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.

Move cleaner back to start again, lower
nozzle, and use only forward strokes.
