Embedded DirtFINDER
feature (some models only)
With red and green lights (A), the ‘Dirt
FINDER’ system alerts the user to areas
of carpet that may need more cleaning
attention. It is able to sense when larger
amounts of dirt particles, especially
embedded dirt, are removed.
To let you know that the 'Dirt FINDER’
feature is ready the red light will come on

back on rear wheels and push forward.
when the cleaner is first turned on. After a
few seconds, the red light will go off and
the green light will come on. Cleaning
may then begin.
The green light will remain on throughout cleaning except when the detector
senses that a larger amount of dirt is
being picked up; then the red light will
come on.
When the red light is on, you should take
additional cleaning strokes in the area
until it changes to green.
•The red light may seldom come on
during cleaning. This means that your
cleaner is picking up primarily fine
surface dust and lint which the system
may not detect, or that the carpet is
generally clean. To increase the feature’s
sensitivity to dirt, set the switch (B) to
the “Hi” position.
•At other times, the red light may stay
on for a considerable amount of time.
This means that the carpet contains a

feature’s sensitivity to dirt, set the
switch to the “Reg.” (Regular) position.
Electronic performance
indicator (some models only)
The amber colored indicator (C) is
accurate when cleaning only carpet and
not when using the tools. It will light up
under two conditions:
1. When the light flashes, cleaning
performance is severely reduced and the
filter bag should be replaced right away
in order to return the performance to an
effective level.
2. If the light continues to flash, after
changing the bag, check for blockages in
the nozzle, hose, tools or at the filter bag
opening. Remove the blockage (see
“Clearing blockages” section) in order to
restore maximum cleaning performance.

Cleaning lightweight
flexible rugs
Stand on one end of rug and move
cleaner toward other end or edge. Before

nozzle so that when you have reached
the edge, it is completely off the rug.
Move cleaner back to start again, lower
nozzle, and use only forward strokes.
Cleaning tools
Tools allow for cleaning surfaces above
the floor and for reaching hard to clean
areas.
The cleaner is ready for tool use when
handle is in upright position.
CAUTION: Agitator continues to rotate
while cleaner handle is in upright
position. Avoid tipping cleaner or
setting it on furniture, fringed area
rugs or carpeted stairs during tool use.

Check bag indicator
(some models only)
The indicator (J), will begin to show red
as filter bag fills with dirt.
There are three conditions that will cause
the indicator to become completely red:
1. The bag is full; change the bag.
2. Very fine materials have been picked
up, clogging the bag pores; change the
bag.
3. There is a blockage in the nozzle,
hose, tools or at the bag opening; remove
the blockage (see “Clearing blockages”
section).
Familiarize yourself with these home
maintenance tasks as proper use and
care of your cleaner will ensure continued cleaning effectiveness.
Filter bag
When to replace
Check filter bag from time to time. It is
recommended that you change the filter
bag when dirt reaches the dotted line. If
more dirt than this accumulates, your
cleaner will not operate effectively.
NOTE: All new carpet has loose fibers
which can fill the bag quickly while
vacuuming. This type of debris does not
activate the "Check Bag" indicator
available on some models.
So, if you are using the cleaner on new
carpet, be sure to change the filter bag
often, even if you have a "Check Bag"
indicator and it does not show red.
CAUTION: Very fine materials, such as
face powder, cornstarch, fireplace
ashes or fireplace soot, may seal the
filter bag and may cause it to burst
even though it is only partially full of
dirt. When cleaner is used to remove
material of this nature, change filter
bag often.
Where to buy
Filter bags may be purchased from your
Authorized Hoover Dealer (Depot),
Leading Retailers, Hoover Factory
Service Centers or through The Hoover
Company on-line at www.hoover.com
What to buy
To assure cleaning effectiveness, use
only Genuine HOOVER® Allergen
Filtration Type Y disposable filter bags.
It is imperative that you use only genuine
HOOVER filter bags made by The Hoover
Company to assure that your cleaner
operates at peak performance. HOOVER
bags can be identified by these trademarks —

Check agitator shield
Because your cleaner picks up so well,
we strongly recommend you check for
debris accumulation under the agitator
shield each time you clean the filters.
Removing debris under the shield will
help maintain your cleaner’s excellent
pick up and suction. Remove debris as
follows:
1. Disconnect cleaner from electrical
outlet.
2. Check for dirt accumulation by
removing bottom plate (Fig. 3-10),
removing agitator, (Fig. 3-11) and lifting

Lubrication
The motor is equipped with bearings that
contain sufficient lubrication for the life of
the motor. The addition of lubricant
could cause damage. Therefore, do
not add lubricant to motor bearings.
The agitator brush roll is equipped with
two ball bearings that should be lubricated periodically by a Hoover Factory
Service Center or an Authorized Hoover
Warranty Service Dealer (Depot).
Thermal protector
An internal thermal protector has been
designed into your cleaner to protect it
from overheating.
When the thermal protector activates,
the cleaner will stop running. If this
happens, proceed as follows:
1. Turn the cleaner OFF and
disconnect it from the electrical outlet.
2. Check secondary and final filters for
dirt accumulation.
3. Refer to "Clearing blockages"
section.
4. When cleaner is unplugged and

¡Salvaguardias importantes!
Al usar un artefacto eléctrico observe siempre las precauciones básicas, incluyendo la
siguientes:
LEA TODA LAS INSTRUCCIONES ANTES DE USAR ESTE ARTEFACTO
Advertencia:
• No use el artefacto a la intemperie o sobre superficies mojadas.
• Es necesaria una supervisión estricta cuando cualquier artefacto es utilizado por o
cerca de los niños. No permita que la aspiradora sea usada como un juguete ni que
funcione sin atención en ningún momento.
• Mantenga el cabello, las ropas holgadas, los dedos, los pies y todas las partes del
cuerpo alejados de las aberturas, el agitador rotatorio o de otras piezas móviles. No
opere la aspiradora con los pies descalzos o cuando use zapatos con los dedos
descubiertos o sandalias.
• No aspire nada que esté ardiendo o humeando, tal como cigarrillos, fósforos o
cenizas ardientes.
• No recoja líquidos inflamables o combustibles como gasolina, ni aserrín, ni utilice la
aspiradora donde éstos puedan estar presentes.
• Evite aspirar objetos duros o filosos con la aspiradora. Los mismos pueden dañar la
aspiradora y la bolsa.
• Siempre apague el artefacto antes de conectar o desconectar la manguera.
• No la use sin la bolsa para polvo o los filtros. Cambie la bolsa frecuentemente al
aspirar materiales muy finos tales como polvo.
• Ejerza más cuidado al limpiar escaleras.
• No coloque ningún objeto en las aberturas. No la use con ninguna abertura
bloqueada; manténgala libre de polvo, pelusa, cabello, ni nada que pueda reducir el
flujo de aire.
• No tire del, ni la transporte por el cordón, no use el cordón como un mango, no cierre
la puerta sobre el cordón ni tire del cordón alrededor de los cantos agudos ni
esquinas. No pase el artefacto sobre el cordón. Mantenga el cordón alejado de las
superficies calientes.
• Desconecte siempre el cordón de la toma de corriente antes de prestar servicio a la
aspiradora.
• Desenchufe la aspiradora cuando no se usa. Apague todos los controles antes de
desenchufar.
• No desenchufe tirando del cordón. Para desenchufar, tome el enchufe, no el cordón.
Nunca manipulee el enchufe ni el artefacto con las manos húmedas.
• No se recomienda el uso de un cordón de extensión.
• No use con un cordón ni con un enchufe dañado. Si el artefacto no está funcionando
como debe, se ha caído, se ha averiado, se ha dejado al aire libre, o se ha caído al
agua, llévelo al Centro de Servicio de Fábrica Hoover, o al Concesionario Autorizado
de Servicio de Garantía de Hoover (Depósito).
• Use la aspiradora sólo para su uso específico según se describe en las instrucciones.
Use solamente los accesorios recomendados por The Hoover Company; otros
pueden causar riesgos.
