tions".

• Use carpet cleaning machine only for its intended use as described in
the instructions. Use only attachments recommended by The Hoover

the machine plug.
• Unplug carpet cleaning machine when not in use. Turn off all controls

• 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 Hoover Factory Service Center or Authorized Hoover
Warranty Service Dealer.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or
near children. Do not allow carpet cleaning machine to be used as
a toy or to run unattended at any time.
• Do not point stair/upholstery tool toward people or pets.

line or use in areas where they may be present.

toxic material with this appliance.

They may damage the machine.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, feet and all parts of body away
from openings and moving parts.
• 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.
