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.

• 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.

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

• Do not use without dirt cup or filters in place. Empty dirt cup and clean filters fre-

quently 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

2. How to use

Polarized plug

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this

appliance has a polarized plug (one

blade is wider than the other). This plug

will fit in a polarized outlet only one way.

If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,

reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,

contact a qualified electrician to install the

proper outlet. Do not change the plug in

any way.

Twist hose end slightly to tighten the con-

nector.

Power Boost Switch

matically go to the “neutral” position.

Push the switch back to lock it in the Boost

position. To unlock, push the switch for-

ward to the “neutral” position.

tions; upright when using cleaning tools;

operating position for general operation

on carpet and floors; low for reaching

under low furniture. Step on handle release

pedal to lower handle.

Settings

Some models have 3 settings, others have

5. For both types, the following recommen-

dations apply.

For maximum cleaning performance,

the following carpet height settings are

recommended.

• Low setting: for all types of carpet and

hard floors.

Note: If the cleaner is difficult to push,

rotate knob to the next higher setting.

• Medium and Higher settings: for deep-

er pile carpet where easier pushing effort

is desired, while maintaining good clean-

ing performance.

Cleaning lightweight

flexible rugs

Stand on one end of rug and move

cleaner toward other end or edge.

Before reaching edge, push down on

handle. This will lift up the nozzle (front

of cleaner) as shown and will prevent

rug from clinging to cleaner. Continue to

lift up nozzle so that when you have

reached the edge, it is completely off

the rug. Move cleaner back to start

again, lower nozzle, and use only for-

ward strokes.

Carpet height

adjustment

The cleaning of carpet and rugs takes

place at the nozzle (D).

When it is necessary to raise and lower the

nozzle for various carpet pile heights, turn

the carpet height adjustment knob (E) to

the desired setting.

For ease in turning the knob, place handle

in upright position.

Nozzle won’t move to adjusted position

until handle is lowered to operating

position.

ture, stairs and baseboards. It can also

OFF-HUSH™ switch to ON and set the

Power Boost Switch to lock.

Stair cleaning

A stair cleaning handle has been

designed for ease in using your cleaner

on stairs. With handle in operating posi-

tion, place fingers under edge of stair

cleaning handle and guide cleaner with

other hand on upper handle.

As an alternative, you may use the hose

and furniture nozzle for stair cleaning.

Clean from bottom to top.

When using cleaning tools, the agita-

tor will continue to rotate.

CAUTION: To avoid personal injury or

unnecessary wear to carpet, and to

prevent the cleaner from falling,

always place it at the bottom of the

stairs.

3. Maintenance

When to empty

It is recommended that the dirt cup be

emptied before the dirt reaches the dirt

inlet opening on back of dirt cup (Fig. 3-

1) or after every use if preferred.

CAUTION: Very fine materials, such

as face powder or cornstarch, may

seal the filter and cause loss of suc-

tion. When using the cleaner for this

type of dust, empty the cup and clean

the filters often.

How to empty

Turn cleaner off and allow motor to

stop completely.

Disconnect cleaner from electrical

outlet. Do not use the cleaner without

dirt cup or filters in place.

Press dirt cup latch (F) and remove dirt

cup.

Familiarize yourself with these home

maintenance tasks as proper use and

care of your cleaner will ensure contin-

ued cleaning effectiveness.

Dirt cup

The dirt cup assembly consists of the

following parts:

Lid (A)

Dirt cup (B)

Pre-filter (C)

HEPA cartridge filter (D)

Dirt inlet opening (E)

While the cleaner is in operation, the pre-

filter screen will stop larger debris from

entering the HEPA cartridge filter chamber.

This larger debris will be seen collecting in

the left side of the dirt cup. The HEPA car-

tridge filter will collect fine particles that

have passed through the pre-filter screen.
