• Fully assemble before operating.

• Operate cleaner only at voltage specified on data plate on lower handle of cleaner.

• Do not leave appliance when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and

before cleaning or servicing.

• Use indoors only.

• Use only HOOVER®cleaning products intended for use with this machine. (See

the “Cleaning Products” section of this manual.)

• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Not intended for use by children age 12 and

or damage, keep children away from product, and do not allow children to place

fingers or other objects into any openings.

• Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s recommended

attachments and products.

• 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

service center prior to continuing use.

• Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull

cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not place product on cord. Do not run

appliance over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

• Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown,

grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce

the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an

equipment-grounding conductor (C) and grounding plug (A). The plug must be

inserted into an appropriate outlet (B) that is properly installed and grounded in

accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor

can result in the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service

person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not

modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it will not fit the outlet, have a

proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. This appliance is for use on a

nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug (A)

illustrated in Fig. 1. A temporary adapter (D) may be used to connect this plug to

a 2-pole receptacle (E) if a properly grounded outlet is not available (Fig. 2). The

temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (B) can

be installed by a qualified electrician (Fig. 1). The green colored rigid ear, lug, or

the like (F) extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground

(G) such as a properly grounded outlet box cover (Fig. 2). Whenever the adapter

is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw. NOTE: In Canada, the use of a

temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.

CAUTION - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF DAMAGE:

• Avoid picking up hard, sharp objects with this product, as they may cause damage.

• Store appropriately indoors in a dry place. Do not expose machine to freezing

temperatures.

• Do not use sharp objects to clean out hose as they can cause damage.

• To assist in reducing drying time, be certain the area is well ventilated when using

detergents and other cleaners with this machine.

•With brushes on, do not allow cleaner to sit in one location for an extended

period of time, as damage to the floor can result.

• Water will drip from the brushes and underside of the product after use and may

puddle. To avoid damage to wood and laminate flooring and to avoid potential

slip hazard, after use (a) do not leave the product on wood and laminate surfaces

and remove to a hard surface and (b) place unit on absorbent material (such as

a towel) to soak up drips.

• Check and follow flooring manufactures warranty and recommendations

regarding the use of hard floor cleaning machines prior to using this product on

your sealed hard floors.
