If you have a problem

This appliance was inspected thoroughly and was in good operating
condition when it was shipped from the factory.  If a minor problem occurs,
it usually can be solved quite easily when the cause is found.  Therefore,
this check list is provided for your convenience.

Cleaning Effectiveness Per Amp Rating

This is 

not 

an Amp rating.  Amps do 

not

 measure dirt removal, only the

amount of electricity used.  Cleaning Effectiveness Per Amp is determined
by dividing this model’s Cleaning Effectiveness

*

 by its Amps.

*

Cleaning Effectiveness

 is the percent value obtained from dividing:

(a) the geometric mean of the amount of embedded carpet dirt removed in

testing under ASTM Test Method F608-89, by

(b) the value 29 (the geometric mean of the midpoints of the % dirt pickup

scales selected by Hoover as a reference for its rating system).
