Before you begin cleaning
a. Vacuum thoroughly -
For carpet, use a vacuum cleaner with
an agitator for best results.
Vacuum upholstery with a vacuum
cleaner with cleaning tool attachments. Use a crevice tool to
reach into tufts and folds.
Do not use the ‘SteamVac Jr.’
compact spot cleaner as a dry vacuum cleaner.
b. For upholstery, check cleaning code -
Use your
‘SteamVac Jr.’ compact spot cleaner only if the upholstery
fabric is marked with a “W” (for “wet” clean) or “S/W” (for
“solvent/dry” or “wet” clean).
Do not clean fabric marked “S”
(“solvent/dry” clean only).
If your upholstery does not have a
code, seek professional assistance.
c. Test for colorfastness -
Mix detergent and water accord-
ing to the instructions under "How to fill solution tank." Wet a
white absorbent cloth with the solution. In a small, hidden
area, gently rub the surface with the dampened cloth. Wait
ten minutes and check for color removal or bleed with white
paper towel or cloth. If surface has more than one color,
check all colors.
d. Pretreat spots with HOOVER® PreCleaner* -
Test
PreCleaner for colorfastness by first spraying it on a hidden
area; wait ten minutes and blot with white paper towels or
cloth.
If no color change is visible, spray PreCleaner onto spots.
Wait at least ten minutes. Use your ‘SteamVac Jr.’ compact
spot cleaner to pick up PreCleaner and spot. Repeat until
spot is removed; carefully scrub with a household scrub
brush if necessary .
Do not saturate
carpet or upholstery
with PreCleaner.
No cleaning solution removes all stains from all carpets. Stain
removal varies with the type of spill, time elapsed before
removal, carpet material and carpet type.
*Available at additional cost if not included with your model.
(Can also be ordered from the Purchase Envelope enclosed
with this cleaner.)

How to empty recovery tank
When the recovery tank is full of dirty solution, the automatic
“shut-off” will engage (see below) and the tank must be emptied.
Turn cleaner off and disconnect from electrical outlet.
Note: Check the recovery tank often
and empty it when it
appears full even if the automatic shut-off has not engaged.
Check solution tank also; it may need to be refilled.
Empty tank by pouring dirty solution from pour spout.

When the recovery tank is full, the automatic “shut-off”
mechanism will turn off the cleaner suction.
When this happens, the red float disk will rise to the top of the
cleaner lid (see illustration). The cleaner will no longer pick up
dirty solution and the motor sound will become noticeably
higher in pitch.
