GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown,

grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor (C) and grounding plug (A). The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet (B) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding

conductor can result in the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualied electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician. This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug (A) illustrated in Fig. 1. A temporary adapter (D) may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle (E) if a properly grounded outlet is not available (Fig. 2). The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (B) can be installed by a qualied electrician (Fig. 1). The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like (F) extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground (G) such as a properly grounded outlet box cover (Fig. 2). Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw. NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF DAMAGE:

•Avoid picking up hard, sharp objects with this product, as they may cause damage.

•Store appropriately indoors in a dry place. Do not expose machine to freezing temperatures.

•Do not use sharp objects to clean out hose as they can cause damage.

•To assist in reducing drying time, be certain the area is well ventilated when using detergents and other cleaners with this machine.

•To help prevent matting and resoiling, avoid contact with carpets until they are dry. Keep children and pets away from carpets until they are completely dry.

•Do not store extractor with solution in tanks.

•With brushes and brushroll on, do not allow cleaner to sit in one location for an extended period of time, as damage to the oor can result.

•Do not use this extractor on hard oors. Using this machine on hard oors may scratch or damage your oor.

•Water will drip from the brushes and underside of the product after use and may puddle. To avoid damage to wood and laminate ooring and to avoid potential slip hazard, after use (a) do not leave the product on wood and laminate surfaces and remove to a hard surface and (b) place unit on absorbent material (such as a towel) to soak up drips.

WARNING

with this machine. (See the "Cleaning products" section in

this manual for details.) They are specially formulated for

use with your cleaner. Non-Hoover® cleaning solutions may

harm the machine and void the warranty.

How to clean with your Spotless Portable Carpet Cleaner:

If using on upholstery, be sure to check its cleaning code and use your cleaner only on upholstery marked "W" or "W/S"

Be sure to check Hoover® Cleaning Guide on page 4 and the cleaning code on your upholstery. Use your cleaner only on upholstery marked “W” or “W/S”.

CAUTION

clicks into place (some models include additional tools).

Press the power button on top of unit to turn the unit on.

For wet stains, suction up excess liquid by

placing the tool on the soiled area and applying downward pressure on the front of the cleaning tool while pulling it towards you slowly.

Spray a generous amount of cleaning solution over the soiled area by

4 5

pressing the trigger behind the tool and scrub the stain in a back and forth motion.

To lift the stain, suction up the dirt

and cleaning solution by applying downward pressure on the front of the cleaning tool and pulling towards you. Repeat as needed.

If additional cleaning is necessary, wait until the upholstery is completely dry before using the tool again.

Empty Dirty Water Tank when the motor sound becomes higher pitched and there is a loss in suction (see “Automatic Shut-Off”).

When ﬁnished cleaning, follow "Keeping your Spotless portable carpet cleaner running properly" instructions on page 9.

Keeping your Spotless Portable Carpet Cleaner running properly:

LUBRICATION

The motor is equipped with bearings which contain sufﬁcient lubrication.

Additional lubricant could cause damage. Do not add lubricant to

motor.

Familiarize yourself with these home maintenance tasks. Proper use and care of your cleaner will ensure continued cleaning effectiveness.

Any other servicing should be done by an authorized service representative. If appliance is not working as it should, has

been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, take it to a service center prior to continuing use.

Note: During normal use, debris may accumulate inside of dirty water tank. In order to keep your unit functioning properly, rinse out your dirty water tank with fresh water after each use.

Clean your hose using Hoover exclusive Self-Clean technology:

a. EMPTY DIRTY WATER TANK. You can empty and rinse the tank through the

quick cap on the top of the tank or by turning the cap on the bottom counter

clockwise. Replace back onto the unit. b. Add warm water to the small mess ﬁll line on the clean water tank. c. Remove any cleaning tool/attachment from the hose. d. Turn unit on and push the open end of the hose into yellow self-clean port on

the back of the unit for 5-10 seconds only. DO NOT PRESS TRIGGER. The

clean water from the clean water tank will rush through the hose, effectively

cleaning and removing the odor causing bacteria left in the hose. e. Repeat process as needed and turn off the unit when hose is fully clean.

dba

Empty and thoroughly rinse dirty water tank by opening

quick cap or bottom cap and placing it under faucet. High pressure clean water will help remove dirt and debris.

INSTRUCTIONS DE MISE À LA TERRE:

Cet appareil doit être mis à la terre. En cas de défectuosité ou de panne, la mise à la

terre ore un trajet de moindre résistance au courant électrique, ce qui réduit le risque de choc électrique. Cet appareil est équipé d'un cordon d'alimentation muni d'un conducteur de mise à la terre de l'équipement (C) et d'une che de mise à la terre (A). La che doit être branchée dans une prise appropriée (B), installée correctement et mise à la terre conformément aux codes et règlements locaux.

AVERTISSEMENT: Un branchement incorrect du conducteur de

mise à la terre de l'appareil peut entraîner un risque d'électrocution. Consulter un électricien qualié ou un technicien spécialisé en cas d'incertitude concernant la mise à la terre correcte de la prise. Ne pas modier la che fournie avec l'appareil. Si elle n'est pas compatible avec la prise murale, demander à un électricien qualié d'installer une prise appropriée. Cet appareil doit être utilisé sur un circuit à tension nominale de 120 volts, et est équipé d'une che de mise à la terre semblable à celle illustrée à la Fig. 1 (A). Un adaptateur temporaire (D) peut être utilisé pour brancher cette che à une prise bipolaire (E) si une prise adéquatement mise à la terre n'est pas disponible (Fig. 2). L'adaptateur temporaire ne doit être utilisé que jusqu'à ce qu'une prise adéquatement mise à la terre (B) soit installée par un électricien qualié (Fig. 1). La patte rigide ou le taquet de couleur verte ou autre élément semblable (F) lié à l'adaptateur doit être branché à une masse permanente (G) comme un couve rcle de boîte à prises adéquatement mis à la terre (Fig. 2). Chaque fois qu'un adaptateur est utilisé, il doit être maintenu en place par une vis en métal. REMARQUE : Au Canada, l'usage d'un adaptateur temporaire n'est pas permis par le Code canadien de l'électricité.
