Cleaning carpeted stairs
Read “Before you begin cleaning” instructions on page 8.
Attach hose and solution tube as instructed on page 11.
Fill clean solution tank according to instructions on pages 6 and
7. Use 5 ounces of HOOVER Carpet/Upholstery Detergent.
Hose length may require that machine be placed at the top of
the stairs to clean upper half of stairway and at bottom of stairs
to clean lower half.
To prevent machine from falling, use extra caution when
cleaning on stairs.
Do not place deep cleaner on stairs.
Do not point stair/upholstery nozzle at people or pets.
Dry hands and plug deep cleaner into a
properly grounded
outlet.
Turn deep cleaner ON.
Pre-spray the carpeted stair by holding the nozzle about one
inch above the carpet and push the wand forward while
pressing the solution trigger (equals one wet stroke).
Position nozzle against the riser and slightly press nozzle into
carpet pile. Press the solution trigger and pull the nozzle
slowly
over the carpet (second wet stroke).
Release the trigger, lift nozzle, and position it against riser.
Pull nozzle
slowly
over carpet without pressing trigger (dry
stroke).
It is best to alternate wet and dry strokes as described above.
End with more dry strokes to aid in faster drying of carpet.
Overlap strokes by one-half inch to help prevent streaking.
To avoid saturating carpet, do not use more than 4 wet
strokes over any one area. Always end with dry strokes.
