Operation

Switch: Use the Main Power On/Off switch to operate the cleaner. Use the Brush Bar Switch to turn the brush bar on (recommended for carpets) or off (suitable for hard floors).

Cleaner Release: Recline the cleaner to unlock it.

Intellicare Technology: This feature helps protect your carpet from wear. When you stop moving the cleaner, the nozzle power is automatically cut off. You can still use hose mode with accessories. The power nozzle automatically reverts to full power when the cleaner is moved.

Manoeuvrability: Twist the handle to maneuver under or around furniture.

Suction Control: Adjust the suction level by sliding the regulator up or down. This can also be used to reduce the push force if needed.

Wiper Blade Assembly

Fitting the wiper blade can improve energy efficiency but may make the product harder to push and maneuver. To fit, grip the side of the wiper blade and slide it along the slot until fully located. To disassemble, lift the end of the wiper blade and pull it out.

IMPORTANT: Switch off and unplug the cleaner before any maintenance.

Cleaning Tools: Accessories can be fitted directly onto the hose, handle, and handle tube. Combine accessories as needed.

To Handle Tube: Repeat the connection steps for the hose. Remove the handle tube, open the handle end cap, connect the hose to the handle tube, and connect the accessory to the handle tube.

IMPORTANT! When using cleaning tools, keep the cleaner in the upright position. Hold the unit while using the hose or handle tube.

Cleaning the Stairs: It is dangerous to place the cleaner above you when cleaning stairs. Always operate the cleaner in an upright position.

Storing the Cleaner: Turn off the cleaner and remove the plug. Wind the power cord around the cord storage hooks.

2. Take out the pre-motor filter and separation unit from the dust bin. Clean excess debris from the separation unit and refit.
3. Gently tap both filters to release any excess dust.

Changing the Belt or Brushes

If your cleaner is not picking up efficiently, the belt or brushes may need replacing. First, ensure:

• The bin is empty.
• The filters are clean.
• There are no blockages.

IMPORTANT: Switch off and unplug the cleaner before maintenance.

1. Turn the cleaner over and remove 2 rear rollers and 2 retaining screws.
2. Remove the brush guard.
3. Remove the brush assembly and check the belt for wear.
4. Loop the new belt around the motor and brush channel.
5. Rotate the brush to ensure free movement of the belt.
6. Hold the brush assembly and stretch the belt until the brush can be slotted back into the cleaner housing.
7. Refit the brush guard with 2 retaining screws and 2 rear rollers.

NOTE: If the brush was blocked and stopped rotating, switch off, unplug, and use scissors to cut threads or hairs caught around the brush. Reassemble the brush and brush guard.

*Certain models only

Clearing a Blockage

Check the cleaning tools and hose for blockages. The hose can be removed at both ends.

Turn the cleaner over and rotate the brushes to identify any obstructions, including hair.

Check for a blockage in the hose socket. Use a flexible rod to remove any obstruction.

Remove blockages from the mini turbo nozzle by opening the nozzle at each side, lifting the cover, and removing the blockage.

User Checklist

If your cleaner is not working properly, run through this checklist:

1. Is there a working electricity supply? Check with another electrical product.
2. Is the bin full or choked with fine dust? Refer to User Manual P5 for emptying the bin.
3. Is the hose blocked? Refer to User Manual P6 for clearing blockages.
4. Is there a blockage in the cleaner base? Refer to User Manual P6 for clearing blockages.
5. Are the filters blocked? Refer to Manual P5 for cleaning filters.
6. Are the brushes rotating correctly? Refer to User Manual P6 for checking brushes.
7. Has the cleaner overheated? If so, it will take about 45 minutes to reset.

If you have any doubts, contact the Hoover Service Office for advice. A service charge may apply if the cleaner is found to be in working order, not assembled correctly, or used improperly.

WARNING! A thermal cut-out switches off the cleaner to prevent overheating if it is used when full, blocked, or has dirty filters. Switch off, unplug, and correct the fault. It will take about 45 minutes for the cut-out to automatically reset.
