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 pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
• Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible materials such as gasoline or fine wood sandings or use in
areas where they may be present.

corners. Do not run appliance over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
• Use vacuum cleaner only for its intended use as described in the instructions. Use only attachments recommend
ed by Hoover; others may cause hazards.
