Cleaning upholstery
Read “Before you begin cleaning”
Instructions on page 10.
Be sure to check the cleaning code on
your upholstery. Use your HOOVER
‘SteamVac’ deep cleaner only on
upholstery marked “W” or “W/S”.
1. Attach hose and solution tube as
instructed on pages 11 and 12. Agitator
brushes will not rotate while solution
tube is connected to deep cleaner.
2. Fill clean solution tank with HOOVER
Carpet/Upholstery Detergent according
to instructions on pages 7 and 8.
Do not point tools toward people or
pets.
3. Dry hands and plug deep cleaner into
a properly grounded outlet.
4. Turn deep cleaner on. If necessary,
refer to “Before using tool” section to
remove air from system.
5. Gently press the tool (A) or (B) onto
the fabric. Press the trigger and slowly
pull the nozzle over the fabric.
6. Overlap strokes by 1/2 inch to help
prevent streaking.
Make additional strokes without pressing
the trigger to remove more moisture.
7. To clean in corners or creases, lift the
tool one-half inch from the fabric and
press the solution trigger.
8. Vacuum up the solution with the tool

9. For heavily soiled areas, it may be
necessary to repeat the cleaning
process. Make crisscrossing strokes to
the original pattern; overlap each pass.
Make no more than 2 passes with the
solution over any one area to prevent
over-wetting and damage to fabric.
If additional cleaning is necessary, wait
until the upholstery is completely dry
before using the tool again.
10. Empty recovery tank when the motor
sound becomes higher pitched and
there is a loss in suction (see “Automatic
shut-off”, page 6).
