FOIRE AUX QUESTIONS - WET DRY HANDVAC HOOVER

Comment puis-je charger mon aspirateur HOOVER Wet Dry Handvac ?

Pour charger votre aspirateur, branchez le chargeur dans une prise murale et connectez-le au port de charge de l'aspirateur. Laissez-le charger pendant au moins 4 heures pour une charge complète.

Que faire si mon aspirateur ne s'allume pas ?

Vérifiez d'abord que l'aspirateur est bien chargé. Si l'aspirateur est chargé et ne s'allume toujours pas, vérifiez si le fusible est grillé ou si le câble d'alimentation est endommagé.

Comment nettoyer le filtre de l'aspirateur ?

Retirez le filtre de l'aspirateur et rincez-le à l'eau froide. Laissez-le sécher complètement avant de le remettre en place. Ne pas utiliser de savon ou de détergents.

Mon aspirateur aspire-t-il de l'eau ?

Oui, le HOOVER Wet Dry Handvac est conçu pour aspirer à la fois la poussière et les liquides. Assurez-vous de ne pas dépasser la capacité maximale du réservoir d'eau.

Comment vider le réservoir de l'aspirateur ?

Pour vider le réservoir, retirez-le de l'aspirateur et ouvrez le couvercle. Vide le contenu dans une poubelle, puis nettoyez le réservoir à l'eau claire avant de le remettre.

Que faire si l'aspirateur perd de la puissance d'aspiration ?

Vérifiez si le réservoir est plein ou si le filtre est encrassé. Un filtre sale ou un réservoir plein peut diminuer la puissance d'aspiration.

Puis-je utiliser cet aspirateur sur des surfaces moquettées ?

Oui, le HOOVER Wet Dry Handvac peut être utilisé sur des surfaces moquettées, mais il est recommandé de ne pas aspirer de liquides sur ces surfaces.

Mounting wall bracket

The wall bracket, included with your cleaner, is designed for both storing and recharging the cleaner. Choose a convenient place where the bracket can be mounted in a vertical position (with hook pointing up) and within six feet of an electrical outlet. Do not use an outlet which is controlled with a wall switch for charging your cleaner.

If bracket will be mounted closer to an outlet, wrap excess cord around projections on back of wall bracket.

Press end of cord into notch on bottom of bracket.

Hold bracket against wall in desired location and mark center of each hole. Drill a 1/8" diameter starter hole in center of each mark.

If wall bracket is being mounted onto dry wall, plaster, or thin paneling backed by dry wall or plaster*, enlarge starter holes to 13/64" diameter. Push plastic anchors fully into holes. Place bracket on wall over anchors. Begin driving screws into anchors. Tighten screws securely.

*Do not attempt to mount wall bracket onto thin paneling without a dry wall or plaster backing.

If wall bracket is being mounted onto a wall stud, solid wood or thick paneling, drill only the starter holes. Place bracket onto the wall and drive screws into holes without plastic anchors.

Charging cleaner

Plug charger into 110/120 volt electrical outlet.

Hold cleaner with nozzle pointing down and opening in handle section aligned with hook in wall bracket. Slide cleaner straight down onto hook. Press firmly on handle to ensure that end of cord is fully connected to cleaner. Your cleaner will begin charging. It is designed to be stored on charge and ready for use at all times.

The batteries will be fully charged in 16 hours. At this time, the cleaner will have 7 minutes of useful operating time. If performance drops to an unacceptable level during this time, check problem chart in "Maintenance" section.

NOTE: It is normal for the charger to feel warm when the battery is charging. Never charge batteries in temperatures above 100^ or below 32^ .

Remove the cleaner from wall bracket and depress and hold ON/OFF switch to operate. Release switch to turn cleaner off and to conserve power between tasks.

Picking up dry debris

Use cleaner to remove dust and dirt from upholstered furniture, mattresses, clothing, and carpeted stairs, or for quick pick-up on carpet, rugs and bare floors. Empty collector cup before picking up liquid or wet debris.

Picking up liquids and wet debris

The collector cup will hold approximately 8 oz. of liquid. To check the liquid level, hold cleaner with nozzle down; when liquid is near end of tube (A), empty cup.

2. Vacuum up water and spill residue.

3. Repeat procedure if necessary, but not more than four times to avoid saturating the carpet.

4. Cover the area with several layers of white paper towels or a terry cloth towel. Step on towels several times to blot carpet.
