WARNING:This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or reproductive harm. WASH HANDS AFTER HANDLING.
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 qualified 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 fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified 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 qualified 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.

Before you begin cleaning:
Vacuum carpet and upholstery thoroughly with a Hoover® vacuum before use.
Don’t use the carpet cleaner as a dry vacuum cleaner.
Use your Hoover® carpet washer only if upholstery fabric is marked with a “W” (for “wet” clean) or “S/W” (for “solvent/dry” or “wet” clean). Don’t clean fabric marked “S” (“solvent/dry” clean only).
Test for colorfastness in a small, hidden area. Gently rub surface with a dampened white cloth. Wait ten minutes and check for color removal or bleed with a white
paper towel.
Move furniture out of area to be cleaned. Place aluminum
foil or wax paper under legs of furniture too heavy to move to prevent wood
finishes from staining carpet. Pin up furniture skirts
and draperies.
Pretreat spots and heavy traffic areas with a Hoover® Cleaning Solution* and your Spot Treater Wand. See “Cleaning Solutions” section.
*Available at additional cost if not included with your model.
NOTE: To prevent staining, use plastic or aluminum foil to protect wood or metal surfaces from possible water spray.

3Squeeze trigger to apply cleaning solution. Slowly push forward then backwards while squeezing the trigger.
4Release the trigger and slowly push forward over the sprayed area. Then slowly pull back toward you without squeezing trigger (dry stroke). Continue using dry strokes until little water is visible passing through the nozzle.
For best cleaning results, end with more dry strokes. (Continue using dry strokes until little water is visible passing through the nozzle.)
For best results, Hoover® recommends rinsing carpet with water only. This removes residual carpet cleaning solution. Fill Solution Tank with water and repeat. For heavily soiled areas, repeat. Avoid saturating carpet.
NOTE: Empty Dirty Water Tank when the motor sound becomes higher pitched and there is a loss in suction (see “Automatic shut-off”).
NOTE: It is best to alternate wet and dry strokes as described above.
!CAUTION !
Do not clean over floor electrical outlets. Water will drip from the brushes and underside of the product after use and may puddle. To avoid damage to wood and laminate flooring and to avoid potential slip hazard, after use (a) do not leave the product on wood and laminate surfaces and move to a hard surface and (b) place unit on an absorbant material
(such as a towel) to soak up drips.

5Insert Dirty Water Tank at an angle back into cleaner until it clicks into place.
Automatic Shutoff:
Your carpet washer is equipped with a shut-off float. When the Dirty Water Tank becomes full, the float will rise, shutting off the air flow through the nozzle. A higher pitched sound will come from the motor. When activated, empty the dirty water tank.
If the dirty water tank does not appear full, turn off and wait for the float to reset. If the float repeatedly shuts off the suction, empty the dirty water tank.
For best results, use only Hoover® brand cleaning solution. Other solutions may generate excessive foam which will cause the float to shut off the suction.

Keeping your Dual Power™ Pro running properly:
Cleaning the dirty water tank:
LUBRICATION
