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 expose to rain; store indoors only.
• Connect to a properly grounded outlet only. See “Grounding
Instructions”.
• Wear eye protection when operating blower.
• 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
unattended at any time.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, feet and all parts of body away from
openings, and moving parts.
• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes,
matches, or hot ashes.
• Do not pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline, or
use in areas where they may be present.
• Do not vacuum or use blower near toxic or health endangering materials
such as asbestos, pesticides, fertilizers, or anything that is poisonous.
• Do not vacuum explosive dusts or use cleaner or blower in areas that
may contain explosive substances such as coal, grain, or any other fine,
combustible material.
• Avoid picking up hard, sharp objects with the cleaner. They may dam
age the cleaner and the filter.
• Do not use without filters in place. Clean filters 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 free of dust, lint, hair, or 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.
• If needed, connect to a suitable extension cord. See “Extension cord
instructions”.
• 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
Warranty Service Dealer (Depot).
• Use vacuum cleaner only for its intended use as described in the
instructions. Use only attachments recommended by The Hoover
Company; others may cause hazards.
