Unpacking and Initial Assembly
Begin by carefully unpacking the Hoover SmartWash Pet Complete from its box. Ensure all components, such as the triggerless handle, FlexForce PET PowerBrushes, and pretreat wand, are included.

Filling the Clean Water Tank and Solution Tank
Detach the clean water tank from the base and fill it with warm water to the marked level. For the solution tank, use only Hoover-approved cleaning solutions to ensure optimal performance. Fill the solution tank according to the instructions on the label. Align the tabs and snaps to secure both tanks back into place. Ensure they are tightly locked to prevent leaks during operation.

Operating the Cleaner: Forward for Wash, Backward for Dry
Operating the Hoover SmartWash Pet Complete is intuitive. Push forward to activate the wash mode, which dispenses cleaning solution and agitates the carpet fibers.

The triggerless handle ensures continuous cleaning without manual activation, while the automatic solution mixing enhances efficiency. This feature is particularly beneficial for pet owners, as it effectively tackles deep stains and odors with minimal effort.
Using the Hose and Pretreat Wand for Stain Removal
For tough stains, attach the pretreat wand to the hose and apply Hoover Oxy Spot Chaser solution directly to the affected area.

This targeted approach ensures deep stains are lifted effectively, leaving your carpets fresh and clean.
