Read “Before you begin cleaning”
instructions on page 9.
1. Fill clean water tank according to
instructions for Figs. 2-9 to 2-12.
2. Fill detergent container with HOOVER
Carpet/Upholstery Detergent according
to instructions for Figs. 2-13 to 2-15.
3. Turn brushes ON or OFF as desired.
4. Dry hands and plug cord into a prop-
erly grounded outlet.
Do not clean over floor electrical out-
lets.
5. To avoid walking on damp carpet,
start at the end of the room farthest from
the door or path to sink where tanks will
be emptied and filled.
Step on handle release pedal and lower
handle to operating position.
6. Set Rinse Setting switch to WASH-
AutoRinse. Turn cleaner ON (Fig. 3-5).
7. Squeeze trigger to release cleaning
solution and slowly push deep cleaner
forward (equals one wet stroke).
8. Continue to squeeze trigger and
slowly pull deep cleaner back toward
you (second wet stroke). The deep
cleaner rinses the carpet on the back-
ward pass. Note: To assure proper
rinsing, it is important to keep the
deep cleaner on the same path back-
ward as forward.
9. Release trigger and slowly push deep
cleaner forward over area just sprayed
with solution (dry stroke). Then slowly
pull deep cleaner back toward you with-
out squeezing trigger (dry stroke).
Continue using dry strokes until little
water is visible passing through the
recovery tank lid.
10. For best results, use straight, paral-
lel strokes as shown in the diagram
below. Overlap strokes by 1 inch to help
prevent streaking.
Keep nozzle flat on floor for both for-
ward and reverse strokes.

11. If you would like to rinse the carpet
with water only, set Rinse Setting switch
to RINSE (Fig. 3-8). Repeat steps 7-9. In
this setting, rinsing will be done on both
forward and reverse strokes.
Rinsing is not necessary, but will help
remove detergent residue and help your
carpet look fresher.
12. For heavily soiled areas, repeat
steps 6-9. Avoid saturating carpet, as
noted below.
Note: To avoid saturating carpet, do
not use more than 4 wet strokes over
one area. Always end with dry
strokes.
It is best to alternate wet and dry strokes
as described above.
For best cleaning results and to aid in
faster drying of carpet, end with more
dry strokes. (Continue using dry strokes
until little water is visible passing through
the recovery tank lid.)
13. Empty recovery tank when the
motor sound becomes higher pitched
and there is a loss in suction (see
“Automatic shut-off”, Fig. 2-6).
When finished cleaning, follow “After
cleaning” instructions on pages 9 &10.
