Aufstellen

Before operating your Hoover FloorMate, ensure proper assembly and preparation.

1. Montage: The unit requires some assembly. Refer to the included assembly guide for detailed instructions on attaching the handle and other components. Ensure all parts are securely fastened.
2. Vorreinigung: For optimal results, vacuum or sweep the floor thoroughly to remove loose dust, debris, and pet hair before using the FloorMate for wet cleaning. This prevents the wet cleaning process from simply pushing around dry particles.
3. Lösungstank füllen: Locate the solution tank (typically marked for cleaning solution). Fill it with the recommended Hoover FloorMate hard floor cleaner and hot water. Avoid using excessive amounts of cleaner; approximately three capfuls of Hoover solution per tank is often effective, though specific instructions may vary. Using non-Hoover cleaners may leave a film.
4. Bürsten installieren: Ensure the appropriate SpinScrub brushes are correctly installed. The unit typically comes with a main brush set and specialized grout brushes.

Bedienungsanleitung

Follow these steps for effective wet and dry cleaning with your FloorMate.

Wet Cleaning (Wash & Dry)

1. Einschalten: Plug in the FloorMate. Turn the knob on the side to the "wash/clean" setting.
2. Verstellgriff: Step on the "recline" button at the base of the unit to lower the handle to an operating position.
3. Fang an zu putzen: Press the power button. Push the machine forward to dispense cleaning solution and scrub the floor. Pull the machine backward to engage the suction and pick up the dirty water.
4. Fleckenreinigung: For heavily soiled areas or stubborn stains, use the trigger on the handle to dispense extra cleaning solution directly onto the spot. Allow it to soak briefly before scrubbing and picking up.
5. Schmutzwassertank entleeren: The dirty water recovery tank will need to be emptied periodically. The machine may make a loud, continuous noise and the brushes may stop spinning when the tank is full or nearing capacity. Carefully remove the tank, carrying it with two hands, and empty its contents. Reinstall securely.
6. Drying Floors: The FloorMate is designed to leave floors dry. If areas remain wet, go over them again in the "wet pick" mode (if available) or simply pull the machine backward over the area to maximize water pickup.

Trockensaugen

The FloorMate can also function as a dry vacuum for light debris pickup.

• Turn the knob to the "dry vacuum" setting.
• Operate the machine as you would a standard upright vacuum. Note that its primary design is for wet cleaning, so its dry vacuuming capabilities are best suited for quick clean-ups rather than primary household vacuuming.

Wartung

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your FloorMate.

• Bürsten reinigen: After each use, remove the SpinScrub brushes and clean them thoroughly. Soaking them in a bucket with hot water and a mild cleaning solution (e.g., bleach) can help remove accumulated dirt and debris. Rinse well and allow to air dry before reinstalling.
• Tanks leeren und spülen: Always empty and rinse both the solution and recovery tanks after each use to prevent residue buildup and odors.
• Check and Clean Filter: Periodically check the filter (if applicable, typically a cloth filter) for debris and clean it as per the manufacturer's instructions. A clogged filter can reduce suction performance.
• Richtig lagern: When not in use, store the FloorMate in a dry, clean area. The handle can be folded down for more compact storage.

Fehlerbehebung

In diesem Abschnitt finden Sie Lösungen für häufig auftretende Probleme.

• Machine Stops / Auto Shut-off Engages:
  • Check if the dirty water recovery tank is full. Empty it and re-secure.
  • Ensure the filter is clean and not obstructed.
  • Verify that all compartments and parts are securely attached.
  • Confirm the dial is set to the correct mode (wash/clean).
• Keine Wasserausgabe:
  • Ensure the solution tank is filled and correctly seated.
  • Check for any obstructions in the solution delivery system.
  • Verify that the trigger on the handle is being pressed.
  • Inspect the control rod at the base of the handle for any broken or dislodged plastic pieces that might prevent trigger activation.
• Poor Suction / Floors Remain Wet:
  • Ensure the dirty water tank is not full and is properly sealed.
  • Check for blockages in the suction nozzle or hose.
  • Verify the filter is clean.
  • Confirm the machine is being pulled backward to engage suction.
  • On very rough or uneven surfaces, complete drying may be challenging, and some air drying might be necessary.
• Grout Not Cleaning Effectively:
  • While the FloorMate helps maintain clean grout, deeply stained or ground-in grout may require manual scrubbing with a specialized grout brush and cleaner.
  • Ensure you are using the dedicated grout brushes if available.
• Portable Detail Kit Ineffective:
  • The portable detail kit may have limited power compared to the main unit. For stubborn areas, manual cleaning might be more effective.
