When using an electrical appliance, always follow basic precautions,
including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING APPLIANCE.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
• 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 agi­tators 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.
• Avoid picking up hard, sharp objects with the cleaner. They may damage the cleaner.
• Always turn off this appliance before connecting or disconnect­ing hose.
• Unplug cleaner before connect­ing the powered pet hair cleaning 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, 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.
• Turn cleaner off and unplug when not in use.
• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord. Never handle plug or appliance with wet hands.
• Hold plug when rewinding onto cord reel. Do not allow plug to whip when rewinding.
• 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 Sales and Service Center or Authorized Hoover Warranty Service Dealer.
• Use vacuum cleaner only for its intended use as described in the instructions.
• Use only attachments recom­mended by Hoover; others may cause hazards.

turn dial to the next higher setting. Higher settings: for very deep pile car-
pet where easier pushing effort is desired, while maintaining good clean­ing performance.

With red and green lights, the
DirtFINDER™ system alerts the user to areas of carpet that may need more cleaning attention. It is able to sense when embedded dirt is removed.
The clean light (green) will remain on throughout cleaning except when the detector senses that a larger amount of
dirt is being picked up; then the dirty light (red) will come on.
When the dirty light is on, you should take additional cleaning strokes in the area until it changes to clean.

Maintenance
When to replace
Check filter bag from time to time. Your cleaner will not operate effec­tively if the filter bag is too full.
NOTE: All new carpet has loose fibers which can fill the bag quickly while vacuuming.
If you are using the cleaner on new carpet, be sure to change the filter bag often.
CAUTION: Very fine materials, such as face powder or corn­starch, may seal the filter bag and cause it to burst even though it is only partially full of dirt. When cleaner is used to remove material of this nature, change filter bag often.
