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:
Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
This appliance is provided with double insulation. Use only identical replace-
ment parts. See instructions for servicing of Double-Insulated Appliances.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near
children. Do not allow vacuum cleaner to be used as a toy or to run unat
tended at any time.
Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, feet and all parts of body away from
openings, rotating agitator and other moving parts. Do not operate cleaner in
bare feet or when wearing open toe shoes or sandals.
Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes,
matches, or hot ashes.
Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline or
use in areas where they may be present.
Avoid picking up hard, sharp objects with the cleaner. They may damage the
cleaner or the bag.
Do not use without dust bag or dirt cup in place. Change throw away bag or
shake outer bag and empty dirt cup frequently when picking up very fine
materials such as powder.
Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked;
keep fee of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air flow.
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.
Always disconnect cord from electrical outlet before servicing the cleaner.
Unplug cleaner when not in use. Turn off all controls before unplugging.
Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
Never handle plug or appliance with wet hands.
The use of an extension cord is not recommended. If an extension cord is
absolutely necessary, use at least a 16 gauge cord and as short as possible.
Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If appliance is not working as it
should, has been dropped, damaged, left out-doors, or dropped into water,
take it to a Hoover Factory Service Center or Authorized Hoover Commercial
Warranty Service Distributor.

manual. Use only attachments recommended by The Hoover Company; oth-
ers may cause hazards.
