WARNING: Always switch off and unplug the vacuum cleaner from the electrical outlet before assembling,
opening or emptying the dirt container, or before connecting/disconnecting the attachments.
CAUTION: The vacuum cleaner is a very powerful unit. Before plugging the cord into the electrical outlet, make
sure the switch is in the 'off' position.
IMPORTANT: If the inlet, hose or telescopic tube is blocked, switch off the vacuum cleaner and remove the
blockage(s) before re-starting the vacuum cleaner. See Maintenance: Clearing blockages.
IMPORTANT: Washing filters maintains vacuum performance. Hoover recommends that they should be checked
and cleaned periodically (depending on the level of use). Make sure all filters are completely dry before
inserting back into the vacuum cleaner.
IMPORTANT: The motor is equipped with a thermal cut-out. If for any reason the unit should overheat, the
thermostat will automatically turn the unit off. Should this occur, unplug the vacuum cleaner from the electrical
outlet and turn off the switch. Remove dirt container and empty. Clean filters. Allow the unit to cool for
approximately one (1) hour. To re-start, plug into an electrical outlet and switch back on. This vacuum cleaner is
intended for household use only and NOT for commercial or industrial use.
PLEASE KEEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR FURTHER USE.
IMPORTANT: The condition of the filters affects the performance of your machine. For best cleaning results
filters require cleaning at least every 3 months. For full cleaning instructions, see pages 5 and 6.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the vacuum cleaner without all of the filters in place.
