USING THE ‘QUIK-BROOM’
How to operate
Plug into electric outlet. Your cleaner
is now ready to operate.
To turn cleaner on, flip switch on
top of the outer bag assembly to the
“ON” position. To turn cleaner off,
flip switch to the “OFF” position.
Operate cleaner only at voltage specified on data plate adjacent to handle.
Turn the cleaner on and tilt handle
forward until the back of the nozzle
is free from the carpet. This insures
that the throw away bag is inflated.
Rug and floor nozzle
The combination rug and floor nozzle
has been designed to do an effective
job on both carpet and hard surface
floors.
Full width cleaning

floors, set the Nozzle Adjustment

easy lift out to clear area.
You will find it convenient to use only
one hand when operating the cleaner
on rugs and carpets.

carpet edges near baseboards and sol-
id furniture. Slots on the nozzle bottom plate carry dust from the carpet

Two speed feature
The black switch on the top of the
outer bag assembly controls the
speed of the cleaner. Choose the

ing on amount suction needed for
various cleaning tasks. Use “HIGH”
for general carpet and floor cleaning.
Use “LOW” for lighter cleaning and
above floor cleaning.

and forth motion.

MAINTENANCE
The following sections are concerned with proper maintenance of your
cleaner. Familiarize yourself with these home maintenance tasks and keep
this owner’s manual in a convenient place where you can refer to it when
needed. Proper use and care of your cleaner will insure continued cleaning
effectiveness.
The Bag
Check the bag from time to time. If the bag is nearly full OR if the cleaner is
not picking up, change the bag. The cleaner will not operate effectively if
the bag is completely full. Discard used bag.
Caution: Very fine materials, such as face powder, cornstarch, fireplace ashes
or fireplace soot, may seal the throw-away bag and may cause it to burst
even though it is only partially full of dirt. When the cleaner is used to remove
material of this nature, the bag should be changed frequently.
What bag to buy
Use only HOOVER Type E bags. Geniune HOOVER bags are made of
specially designed paper for most effective results with your ‘Quik-Broom’.
They are less likely to break or clog.
Where to buy bags
Bags may be purchased from your local Authorized Hoover
Dealer, or from Hoover Factory Service Centers listed on
the white insert.

bags. HOOVER bags can be identified by the trademarks. -
