Important Safeguards!
When using an electrical appliance, always follow basic precautions,
including the following:
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, or injury:
• Use indoors only.
• Use only on surfaces moistened
by the cleaning process. Do not
immerse product.
• Connect to a properly grounded
outlet only. See “Grounding
Instructions”.
• Do not clean over floor electrical
outlets.
• Do not use without tanks in place.
• Use extra care when cleaning on
stairs. Do not place deep cleaner on
stairs.
• Use deep cleaner only for its
intended use as described in the
instructions.
• Use only attachments recommended by The Hoover Company;
others may cause hazards.
• The use of an extension cord is
not recommended. If an extension
cord is absolutely necessary, use at
least a 16 gauge 3-wire cord which
has a 3-prong grounding type plug
and a 3-pole receptacle that accepts
the machine plug.
• Unplug deep cleaner when not in
use. Turn off all controls before
unplugging.
• Unplug deep cleaner before connecting the powered hand tool.
• Always disconnect cord from electrical outlet before servicing the deep
cleaner.
• Do not unplug by pulling on
cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not
the cord.
• Never handle plug or appliance
with wet hands.
• 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.
• 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.
• Close supervision is necessary
when any appliance is used by or
near children. Do not allow deep
cleaner to be used as a toy or to run
unattended at any time.
• Do not point tools toward people
or pets.
• Use only commercially available
Hoover SteamVac™ cleaners
intended for machine application.
Do not use any type of wax with
deep cleaner.
• Keep detergents and other cleaners out of children's reach.
• Do not use to pick up flammable
or combustible liquids such as
gasoline or use in areas where they
may be present.
• Do not pick up chlorine bleach,
drain cleaner, gasoline or any other
toxic material with this appliance.
• Do not pick up anything that is
burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
• Avoid picking up hard, sharp
objects with the deep cleaner. They
may damage the machine.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers,
feet and all parts of body away
from openings and moving parts.
• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening
blocked; keep free of dust, lint,
hair, and anything that may reduce
air flow.
• To help prevent matting and
resoiling, avoid contact with carpets
until they are dry. Keep children
and pets away from carpets until
they are completely dry.
• Store in a dry place. Do not expose machine to freezing temperatures.
This appliance must be grounded. If it
should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical 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
plugged into an appropriate outlet (B)
that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
DANGER-
Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding 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 illustrated
in sketch (A).
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. The temporary adapter should
be used only until a properly grounded
outlet (B) can be installed by a qualified
electrician. 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. 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.
