GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

2

When using the vacuum cleaner, basic safety precautions should always be observed,
including the following:

1. Only use the vacuum cleaner indoors on dry surfaces. Do not handle the plug or vacuum
cleaner with wet hands. Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.

2. Turn off the vacuum cleaner controls before disconnecting or connecting from the mains supply.

3. Always unplug the vacuum cleaner before connecting or disconnecting the vacuum hose
and accessories.

4. This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand
the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance
shall not be made by children without supervision.

5. Use only as described in this manual. Use only Hoover recommended attachments.

6. Do not use the vacuum cleaner if it has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors or dropped
into water.

7. Do not pull or carry by cord. Do not use the cord as a handle, close a door on the cord or pull cord
around sharp edges or corners. Do not run the vacuum cleaner over the cord. Keep the cord away
from heated surfaces.

8. Do not put any objects into openings. Do not use with any openings blocked and do not restrict
airflow. Keep all openings free of dust, lint, hair or anything that might reduce airflow.

9. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all parts of the body away from openings and moving parts.

10. Do not pick up hot coals, cigarette butts, matches or any hot, smoking or burning objects.

11. Do not pick up flammable or combustible materials (lighter fluid, petrol, kerosene etc.) or use in the
presence of explosive liquids or vapours.

12. Do not vacuum up harmful or toxic materials (chlorine, bleach, ammonia, drain cleaner etc.).

13. Do not vacuum up hard or sharp objects such as glass, nails, screws, coins, etc.

14. Do not use without ALL of the filters in place.

15. Take extra care when vacuuming on stairs.

16. Keep vacuuming area well lit.

17. Store the vacuum cleaner in a cool, dry area.

18. Turn off the on/off switch before unplugging the vacuum cleaner

19. Do not use the vacuum cleaner with a damaged cord or plug. If the supply cord is damaged,
it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order
to avoid a hazard.

20. Plug must be removed from the socket-outlet before cleaning or maintaining the appliance.

WARNING: Always switch off and unplug the vacuum cleaner from the electrical outlet before
assembling, opening or emptying the dirt container, or before connecting/disconnecting the attachments.

CAUTION: The vacuum cleaner is a very powerful unit. Before plugging the cord into the electrical outlet,
make sure the switch is in the ‘off’ position.

IMPORTANT: If the inlet, hose or telescopic tube is blocked, switch off the vacuum cleaner and remove
the blockage(s) before re-starting the vacuum cleaner. See Maintenance: Clearing blockages.

IMPORTANT: Washing filters maintains vacuum performance. Hoover recommends that they should be
checked and cleaned periodically (depending on the level of use). Make sure all filters are completely dry
before inserting back into the vacuum cleaner.

IMPORTANT: The motor is equipped with a thermal cut-out. If for any reason the unit should overheat,
the thermostat will automatically turn the unit off. Should this occur, unplug the vacuum cleaner from the
electrical outlet and turn off the switch. Remove dirt container and empty. Clean filters. Allow the unit to
cool for approximately one (1) hour. To re-start, plug into an electrical outlet and switch back on. This
vacuum cleaner is intended for household use only and NOT for commercial or industrial use.

PLEASE KEEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR FURTHER USE.

maintenance always lie flat on the floor in a suitable location so it does not become a trip hazard
or can be stepped on.
