IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY:
To avoid internal component damage, use only Hoover
®
cleaning products intended
for use with this Appliance. (See Cleaning Products section of this manual.)
Use only on surfaces moistened by the cleaning process or small spills. Do not
immerse product.
Connect to a properly grounded outlet only. See “Grounding Instructions”.
Do not clean over floor electrical outlets.
Do not use without tanks in place.
Use extra care when cleaning on stairs. Do not place carpet cleaner on stairs.
Use carpet cleaner only for its intended use as described in the instructions.
Use only attachments recommended by Hoover
®
; others may cause hazards.
The use of an extension cord is not recommended. If an extension cord is absolutely
necessary, use at least a 16 gauge 3-wire cord which has a 3-prong grounding type
plug and a 3-pole receptacle that accepts the machine plug.
Unplug carpet cleaner from outlet when not in use. Turn off all controls before
unplugging.
Unplug before connecting the powered hand tool (available on select models).
Always disconnect cord from electrical outlet before servicing the carpet cleaner.
Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
Never handle plug or appliance with wet hands.
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.
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
Authorized Hoover
®
Warranty Service Dealer.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Do
not allow carpet cleaner to be used as a toy or to run unattended at any time.
Do not point tools toward people or pets.
To assist in reducing drying time, be certain the area is well ventilated when using
detergents and other cleaners with this machine.
Keep detergents and other cleaners out of children’s reach.
Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline or use in
areas where they may be present.
Do not pick up chlorine bleach, drain cleaner, gasoline or any other toxic material
with this appliance.
Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or
hot ashes.
4
Avoid picking up hard, sharp objects with the carpet cleaner. They may damage the
machine.
Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, feet and all parts of body away from openings and
moving parts.
Use indoors only.
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.
To help prevent matting and resoiling, avoid contact with carpets until they are dry.
Keep children and pets away from carpets until they are completely dry.
Store in a dry place. Do not expose machine to freezing temperatures.
Do not leave appliance unattended when plugged in.
DO NOT USE THIS EXTRACTOR ON HARD FLOORS UNLESS YOU HAVE THE PROPER
HARD FLOOR ATTACHMENT. USING THIS MACHINE ON HARD FLOORS WITHOUT
PROPER ATTACHMENT MAY SCRATCH OR DAMAGE YOUR FLOOR.
GROUNDING
OUTLET BOX
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor (C) and grounding plug (A). The plug must be plugged into an appropriate
outlet (B) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person
if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the appliance - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician. This appliance is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has
a grounding plug that looks like the plug (A) illustrated in sketch (Fig. 1). A temporary
adapter (D) may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle (E) if a properly
grounded outlet is not available (Fig. 2). The temporary adapter should be used only
until a properly grounded outlet (B) can be installed by a qualified electrician (Fig. 1).
The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like (F) extending from the adapter must be
connected to a permanent ground (G) such as a properly grounded outlet box cover
(Fig. 2). Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian
Electrical
Code.
