How to Operate a Hoover SteamVac Dual With SpinScrub
- 1). Vacuum the carpet thoroughly using a vacuum cleaner.
- 2). Ensure the SteamVac is not plugged in to an electrical outlet.
- 3). Remove the clean water tank with attached detergent container. This is the upper tank, located on the upright section of the SteamVac, above the recovery tank. Depress the tank handle and pull toward you to remove the tank.
- 4). Remove the cap from the tank by twisting counter-clockwise. Make sure you are removing the cap to the tank and not the one on the attached detergent container, which is on the right when looking at the tank from the front.
- 5). Fill the tank with one gallon of hot tap water. Make sure the water is no warmer than 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Replace the cap and twist clockwise until tight.
- 6). Remove the cap to the detergent container by twisting counter-clockwise.
- 7). Fill the detergent container with 16 ounces of carpet detergent. The manufacturer recommends using only Hoover detergent. Replace the detergent container cap and twist clockwise until tight.
- 8). Replace the clean water tank and detergent container by positioning the bottom of the tank in place on the SteamVac and pivoting the tank up and away from you until it snaps into place.
- 9). Slide the brush-setting indicator to turn the agitator brushes on or off, depending on your preference. The brush setting indicator is located on the right side of the SteamVac base, near the top.
