Cleaning upholstery
Read “Before you begin cleaning”
instructions on page 9.
Be sure to check the cleaning code on
your upholstery. Use your deep cleaner
only on upholstery marked “W” or
“W/S”.
1. Place handle in upright position.
Agitator brushes will not rotate while
handle is in upright position.
2. Fill clean solution tank with HOOVER
Carpet/Upholstery Detergent according
to instructions for Figs. 2a-8 to 2-14.
3. Attach tool to end of hose.
Do not point tools toward people or
pets.
4. Dry hands and plug deep cleaner into
a properly grounded outlet.
5. Turn deep cleaner ON. If necessary,
refer to “Before using tool” section to
remove air from the system.
6. Gently press the tool onto the fabric.
Press the trigger and slowly pull the noz-
zle over the fabric.
7. Overlap strokes by 1/2 inch to help
prevent streaking.
Make additional strokes without pressing
the trigger to remove more moisture.
8. To clean in corners or creases, lift the
tool one-half inch from the fabric and
press the solution trigger. The crevice
tool (included in some models) is very
useful for this task.
9. Vacuum up the solution with the tool
without pressing the trigger.

10. 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.
11. 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 page 9 and
“After using tool” instructions on page 12.
