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 or small
spills. Do not immerse product.
• For use on bare floors or sealed
wood floors. NOT for use on
carpets.
• Always install float before any
wet pick up operation.
• Close supervision is necessary
when any appliance is used by or
near children. Do not allow 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 and moving parts.
• Do not pick up anything that is
burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
• Do not pick up or use 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 machine.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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 cleaner on
stairs.
• 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.
• Keep detergents and other cleaners out of children's reach.
• Do not pick up chlorine bleach,
drain cleaner, gasoline or any other
toxic material with this appliance.
• When using recommended chemicals with this machine, be certain
area is well ventilated.
• Follow manufacturer’s instructions for all chemicals used with
this machine. Do not exceed recommended mixing ratios.
• Store in a dry place. Do not expose machine to freezing temperatures.
• 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 Sales and
Service Center or Authorized
Hoover Warranty Service Dealer.
• Use cleaner only for its intended
use as described in the instructions.
WARNING:
This product contains chemicals
known to the State of California to
cause cancer. WASH HANDS AFTER
HANDLING.
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.
