Maintenance
The following sections are concerned with proper maintenance of the
cleaner. Familiarize yourself with these home maintenance tasks and keep
this owner’s manual in a convenient place where you can refer to it when
needed. Proper use and care of your cleaner will ensure continued
cleaning effectiveness.
When to replace
Check bag from time to time. It is recommended that you change the bag
when dirt reaches the dotted line. If more dirt than this accumulates, your
cleaner may not operate effectively.
The bag
NOTE: Check and change bag frequently when using cleaner on new
carpet due to rapid accumulation of carpet fluff. The check bag indicator
(some models only) may not fully register if the bag is full of fluff from
new carpet.
CAUTION: Very fine materials, such as face powder, cornstarch,
fireplace ashes or fireplace soot, may seal the paper 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 bag often.
Where to buy
Paper bags may be purchased from your local Authorized Hoover Dealer
(Depot) or from a Hoover Factory Service Center or use the order form
packed with your cleaner. When ordering bags, be sure to give the
model number of your cleaner.
If your cleaner was originally equipped with a micro filtration bag, it is
important to use only Genuine HOOVER® Micro Filtration Type Z
disposable bags in order to maintain the original cleaning effectiveness
of your cleaner.
What to buy
For models with “CHECK BAG”
indicator, check bag when indicator
flag pushes through slot in bag door
and “✓ BAG” (“check” bag) is
visible.
The cleaner must be turned ON in
order for the indicator to register
a full bag.
