After wet pick-up
Unscrew drain cap (A) from bottom
of outer tank. Empty contents into a
suitable drain.

be necessary to tip cleaner to allow
remaining liquid to drain out.
Rinse inside of tank thoroughly
with clean water particularly if
spills or other substances other
than water have been picked up.
Wipe inside of tank dry.
Filters
Do not operate cleaner without
filters in place.
Filters are available at your Hoover
Factory Service Center, Authorized
Hoover Warranty Dealer (Depot), on
the enclosed order form, or by
writing to The Hoover Company,
North Canton, Ohio, 44720.
To assure that your cleaner
operates at peak performance, it is
imperative that you use only
genuine HOOVER filters distributed
by The Hoover Company. HOOVER
filters can be identified by these
trademarks -

Foam filter
Disconnect cleaner from electrical
outlet.
To clean, remove foam filter (B)
and rinse with clean water. Let filter
air dry.
To replace, slide filter completely
down over openings on inner tank
filter cage (C).
If the cleaner is used as a single
tank unit for wet pick-up, it is best to
use a HOOVER® foam filter sleeve,
available at additional cost, instead
of the cartridge filter.
Reusable cartridge filter
Disconnect cleaner from electrical
outlet.
After dry pick-up, remove filter (D)
and gently tap it against inside of
cleaner tank or brush off debris with
a soft brush.
After wet pick-up, allow filter to dry
and gently brush with a soft brush.
Check filter thoroughly and replace it
if there are any tears or holes in it.
If extremely dirty, the cartridge filter
can also be rinsed occasionally with
tap water.
NOTE: Vigorous scrubbing or
frequent rinsing may shorten the life
of the cartridge filter.
To replace, slide cartridge filter over
filter cage (E) until it will not go on
any further.
