TO AVOID SAFETY HAZARDS, THE CLEANER MUST ONLY BE REPAIRED BY AN AUTHORISED HOOVER SERVICE ENGINEER.

ENVIRONMENT:

Hoover has made a long-term commitment, in all its activities, to safeguarding the environment. Our environmental policy states: “ To adopt the best practicable environmental methods in design, production, packaging, use and disposal of products, whilst continuing to improve benefits to the consumer” . The majority of materials used in this appliance are recyclable. Please use the best available disposal method to take advantage of this feature.

HOW TO START:

Opening the box

Remove the product from the packaging. The flexible hose and accessories are found at the bottom of the box, they are clearly visible once the product is removed.

Hose connection

Open the cover; fit the hose connector and push until you hear the click of the locking mechanism, then make sure it is well locked (Fig. 1). To disconnect the hose push the button on the top of the connector and pull the hose from the appliance (Fig. 2 ).

Power cord connection

Open the cover and push on the power cord (Fig. 3). Plug the other end of the power cord into the wall socket. Ensure hands are dry and no moisture is present.

Accessories

Accessories can be connected directly to the multifunctional handle or to the extension tubes.

- Push desired accessory until the locking mechanism is engaged (Fig. 4).

- To disconnect accessory from the handle press the lock/release button and separate the 2 parts (Fig. 5).

- To disconnect accessory from tube press the retention clips. Note: for more information on accessories application and use refer to the specific “Accessory” section.

Reminder: while assembling or changing accessories during use stop the steam function by pressing from left to right the steam emission control.

Filling the Hydrofilt container

Remove the Hydrofilt container from the machine (Fig. 6), remove the filter assembly (Fig. 7) and fill with water up to the MAX mark printed on the container (Fig. 8). Please add 1 measured fill of Hoover Ecobreeze to the clean water, as described in the cleaner maintenance section.

What is the Hydrofilt?

Hydrofilt is a water filter, specifically designed for an efficient wet & dry suction, which uses the natural purifying property of water. It is in fact the flow of water into the container that efficiently captures the dirt avoiding its dispersion into the environment.

Filling the boiler

Unscrew the Boiler safety cap (Fig. 9 ) and fill with water using the no spill filler bottle supplied (Fig. 10 ), periodically add Kaldefender as described in the cleaner maintenance section.

Reminder: please read carefully chapter “Using your Vapormate” when re-filling the boiler during long periods of cleaning.

Press the on/off main switch. This will illuminate in red. The first level of the Vacuum Power indicator will flash in green.

You are now ready to use your Vapormate.
