Important Safeguards!

When using an electrical appliance, always follow

basic precautions, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE

Warning:

• 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 liquids such as gasoline or fine wood sandings or use in areas where they may be present.

• The hose contains electrical wires. Do not use if damaged, cut or punctured.

• Avoid picking up hard, sharp objects with the cleaner. They may damage the cleaner and the bag.

• Always turn off this appliance before connecting or disconnecting hose, motorized nozzle or powered hand tool.

• 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.

• If cleaner has a cord reel, hold on to the plug while cord is being rewound to prevent cord from whipping.

• 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 Warranty Service Dealer (Depot).

• 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.

Handle positions

The handle has two positions when used with the power nozzle: upright and operating.

To lower handle to operating position, place your foot firmly on the power nozzle and pull handle back.

Check bag indicator

The indicator will begin to show red as bag fills with dirt. There are three conditions that will cause the indicator to become completely red:

1. The bag is full; change the bag.

2. Very fine materials (such as powder) have been picked up, clogging the bag pores; change the bag, even if it is not full.

3. There is a blockage in the nozzle, hose, tools, or at the bag opening; remove the blockage.

How to connect

To use the cleaner with tools, disconnect the power nozzle from the hand grip.

Tools may be attached directly to the hand grip. With the latch in the unlock position, insert tool (or wand if extra length is needed), then push latch to the lock position to secure.

To remove the tool (or wand), push the latch to the unlock position. To connect tools to metal wands, insert end of tool into wand and snap into position. To disconnect, press down on the center of spring latch and remove tool.

Cleaning tools

The cleaning tools are conveniently stored in the cleaner underneath the tool lid. Pull up on edge of lid in recessed area to open.

The lid is also designed with a “breakaway” feature which allows it to snap off if it is pushed open too far. To re-attach, align small knobs on hinge area of lid with slots at rear of cleaner; press lid back into place.

The cleaning tools have many uses. Select the tool best suited for the cleaning task from the following descriptions.

Suction regulator

The suction regulator on the wand (E) allows the user to reduce suction when necessary. Open the suction regulator for less suction when cleaning lightweight fabrics or throw rugs. Close the suction regulator for maximum suction. If the

power nozzle is difficult to push on some carpet, open the suction regulator. This will help prevent damage to the belt.

Edge cleaning

Special edge groomers are provided on both sides of the nozzle to remove dirt in carpet near baseboards and furniture. Guide side of nozzle parallel to edge of carpet or furniture as shown.
