upright for storage and when using cleaning tools; operating position for general operation on carpet and floors; low for reaching under low furniture.
Step on handle release lever to lower handle.
EMBEDDED DIRT FINDERTM FEATURE
(Available on select models only)
2.7 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 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.

2.7
• 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 high level of dirt which is being removed by the cleaner. To decrease the feature’s sensitivity to dirt, set the switch to the “Reg.” (Regular) position.
Actual model may vary from images shown.

3. MAINTENANCE
Familiarize yourself with these home maintenance tasks as proper use and care of your cleaner will ensure continued cleaning effectiveness.
Any other servicing should be done by an authorized service representative.
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.
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.
CAUTION
IMPORTANT
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.
What to Buy: Filter Bag
Use only genuine HOOVER® bags with your vacuum. When purchasing a new bag, ask for HOOVER® HEPA Type Y Bag Part #902419001 or Carbon HEPA Type Y Bag Part #902481001.
