ACCESSORIES
Hoover polishers are equipped with spring loaded brushes and pads in order to obtain the best results on floors with uneven surface.
For this reason, the small narrow brush positioned on the front of the hood is also spring loaded.
Three kits of brushes and pads are supplied with the polisher:
Yellow Hard Bristle Brushes (Depending on model)
To be used to remove the old polish then to spread the new wax evenly on the floor. Particularly suitable for marble and tiles.
Black Soft Bristle Brushes
Must be used to complete the first polishing phase. Suitable for all hard floors.
Grey Buffing Pads
To be used during the final polishing phase for producing a high gloss.
They can be used on all hard surfaces, but are especially suitable for marble and tiles.
Natural White Pads (Depending on model)
These natural white pads, made mainly of wool, have been especially designed to polish wooden floors. They should be used after the Black soft bristle brushes.
TO WAX AND POLISH THE FLOORS
TO WAX THE FLOORS
Before applying polish, ensure that the surface is clean. Remove any greasy stains using a damp cloth.
To apply the polish, follow the instructions supplied with the polish.
Use a good quality polish, spreading it evenly. After the polish has dried, polish the floor with the yellow hard texture brushes or the softer black brushes.
TO POLISH THE FLOORS
For producing a high gloss, use the natural white pads for wooden floors or grey buffing pads for all other hard surfaces.
To obtain better results, always move the polisher in straight lines rather than in circles.
Buffing pads should only be used after the whole surface has first been polished with brushes.
EMPTYING OUTER BAG / PAPER DUST BAG
The suction polisher collects dust in the bag. To maintain the efficiency of your polisher check the dust level and empty the cloth bag or replace the paper dust bag frequently.
MODELS EQUIPPED WITH PAPER DUST BAG:
Fully open zip fastener and remove paper dust bag by pulling the cardboard collar from the air duct (Fig. 5).

The cloth bag can be washed. We suggest hand washing it in warm water with a mild detergent.
CLEANING BRUSHES AND PADS
Brushes may be washed in warm water with a mild detergent.
Pads may be gently brushed with soapy water and wiped with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the pads in the soapy water.
Allow the pads to dry thoroughly before use, keeping them flat.
TRANSPORT, MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
