Important Safeguards!
When using an electrical appliance, always follow
basic precautions, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE
WARNING:To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
• Use indoors only.
• Use only on surfaces moistened by the cleaning process or small spills. Do not immerse
product.
• Connect to a properly grounded outlet only. See “Grounding Instructions”.
• Do not clean over floor electrical outlets.
• Do not use without tanks in place.
• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs. Do not place cleaner on stairs.
• Use cleaner only for its intended use as described in the instructions.
• The use of an extension cord is not recommended. If an extension cord is absolutely
necessary, use at least a 16 gauge 3-wire cord which has a 3-prong grounding type plug
and a 3-pole receptacle that accepts the machine plug.
• Unplug cleaner when not in use. Turn off all controls before unplugging.
• Always disconnect cord from electrical outlet before servicing the deep cleaner.
• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord. Never handle
plug or appliance with wet hands.
• Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close door on cord or pull cord around
sharp edges or corners. Do not run appliance over cord. Keep cord away from heated
surfaces.
• Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If appliance is not working as it should, has been
dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, take it to a Hoover Factory Service
Center or Authorized Hoover Commercial Warranty Service Distributor.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Do not
allow cleaner to be used as a toy or to run unattended at any time.
• Use only commercially available floor cleaners intended for machine application. Do not
use any type of wax with deep cleaner.
• When using detergents and other cleaners with this machine, be certain the area is well
ventilated.
• Keep detergents and other cleaners out of children’s reach.
• Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline or use in areas
where they may be present.
• Do not pick up chlorine bleach, drain cleaner, gasoline or any other toxic material with this
appliance.
• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot
ashes.
• Avoid picking up hard, sharp objects with the cleaner. They may damage the
machine.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, feet and all parts of body away from openings and
moving parts. Do not operate deep cleaner in bare feet or when wearing open toe shoes
or sandals.
• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of
dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air flow.
• Avoid contact with carpets until they are dry. Keep children and pets away from carpets
until they are completely dry.
• Store in a dry place. Do not expose machine to freezing temperatures.
