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 replacement 

parts. See instructions for servicing 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 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 liquids 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.

• 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 Commercial Warranty Service 
Distributor.

• 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.
