Important Safeguards!

When using an electrical appliance, always follow

basic precautions, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:

• Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.

• 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,

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 materials such as gasoline, or fine

wood sandings or use in areas where they may be present.

• Avoid picking up hard, sharp objects with the cleaner. They may damage the cleaner

and the bag.

• Always turn off this appliance before connecting or disconnecting hose.

• Do not use without dust bag or filters in place. Change bag 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.

• The use of an extension cord is not recommended.

• 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 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.

ommended that you change the filter

bag when dirt reaches the dotted line. If

more dirt than this accumulates, your

cleaner may not operate effectively.

face powder, cornstarch, fireplace ashes

or fireplace soot, may seal the paper

bag and may cause it to burst even

though it is only partially full of dirt.

When cleaner is used to remove material

of this nature, change bag often.
