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.

For maximum cleaning performance,
the following carpet height settings are
recommended:

Lowest setting: for all types of carpet,
Note: If the cleaner is difficult to push,

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.

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

Edge cleaning

Using the tools Select proper tool

Attach tools

Special edge groomers are provid-

ed on both sides of the front of the

cleaner to remove dirt in carpet near
baseboards and furniture.

Guide either side parallel to the edge of
carpet or furniture.

22

Tools allow for cleaning surfaces above
the floor and for reaching hard to clean
areas. The cleaner is ready for tool use
when the handle is in the upright posi­tion.

Note: When handle is in upright posi­tion, agitator brush roll is automatically
OFF.

Select the proper tool for the
cleaning task.

A. Dusting brush use for carved furni­ture, table tops, books, lamps, lighting
fixtures, venetian blinds, baseboards,
shutters, and registers.

B. Furniture nozzle use for upholstered
furniture, draperies, mattresses, clothing,
automobile interiors, and carpeted stairs.

C. Powered pet hair cleaning tool use
for upholstered furniture, carpeted stairs
and hard to reach places.

D. Crevice tool use in tight spaces, cor­ners and along edges in such places as
dresser drawers, upholstered furniture,
stairs, and baseboards.

E. Soft Touch™ floor brush (some
models) use on hard surface floors.

23

F. Telescoping handle/wand can

be extended by depressing the
button (G) and pulling wand outward.
Release button to lock into position.
Shorten the telescoping handle/wand by

back.

24

All tools attach in the same

manner.

Tools may be attached to the telescop­ing handle/wand or directly to the
hose (see Fig. 26).

25

Attach tool to wand or hose by

pushing it firmly onto the end of
the wand or hose. Twist tool slightly
to tighten or loosen the connection.

For optimum performance of the pow-
ered pet hair cleaning tool, attach it

Use the hose and the powered
pet hair cleaning tool for stair

cleaning.

Always place the cleaner at the bottom
of the stairs. Clean from bottom to top.

CAUTION: To avoid personal injury, and
to prevent the cleaner from falling, use
extra care if the cleaner is placed on
stairs.

NOTE: Maximum performance of the
powered hand tool will be achieved if
the powered pet hair cleaning tool is
used on the end of the hose without the
telescoping wand.

Next, attach opposite end of

extra reach hose to hose con­nector on handle/wand. Align the but­ton (C) on hose connector with hole
(D) on end of extra reach hose. Slide
the extra reach hose end onto the
hose connector until the button “pops

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.
