When it is necessary to raise and lower the nozzle for various carpet pile heights, slide the nozzle control knob (B) to the desired setting. Handle position For ease in sliding knob, place handle in the upright position (C). The nozzle will not move into the adjusted position until the cleaner handle is lowered to the operating position (D). Settings For maximum cleaning performance, the following carpet height settings are recommended. · Lowest setting: for all types of carpet and hard floors. Note: If the cleaner is difficult to push, slide knob to the next higher setting. · Higher settings: for very deep pile carpet where easier pushing effort is desired, while maintaining good cleaning performance. 6 2-10 2-11 2-12 Cleaning lightweight flexible rugs Stand on one end of rug and move cleaner toward other end or edge.

Edge cleaning Edge cleaning is provided on both sides of the nozzle to remove dirt in carpet near baseboards and furniture. Guide either side of nozzle parallel to edge of carpet or furniture. Stair cleaning A stair cleaning handle has been designed for ease in using your cleaner on stairs. Maintenance Familiarize yourself with these home maintenance tasks as proper use and care of your cleaner will ensure continued cleaning effectiveness. What to buy To assure cleaning effectiveness, use only Genuine Hoover® Allergen Filtration Type Y disposable filter bags. K Filter bag When to replace Check bag indicator The indicator (K), will begin to show red as the filter bag fills with dirt. There are three conditions that will cause the indicator to become completely red: 1. Very fine materials have been picked up, clogging the bag pores; change the bag. There is a blockage in the nozzle, hose, tools or at the bag opening; remove the blockage (see "Clearing blockages" section). 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. So, if you are using the cleaner on new carpet, be sure to change the filter bag often. CAUTION: Very fine materials, such as face powder or cornstarch, may seal the filter bag and may cause it to burst even though it is partially full of dirt. When the cleaner is used to remove material of this nature, change filter bag often. It is imperative that you use only genuine FAKIR filter bags made by The Hoover Company to assure that your cleaner operates at peak performance. FAKIR bags can be identified by these trademarks -- ® Changing filter bag Disconnect cleaner from electrical outlet. 3-1 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.
