Before You Begin - Hoover HARMONY Instruction Manual

Congratulations on your purchase of your new HOOVER vacuum cleaner. There are many
useful features built into your cleaner and we recommend that you carefully read this
instruction book so that you may take best advantage of them.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

This product must be operated in accordance with these instructions and used only for
domestic cleaning to remove DRY dirt and dust from household carpets, flooring and
fabrics. This cleaner is intended for domestic household use only and is not designed for the
collection of vitreous building material including particle board construction products and
similar products such as wood/fibres, sand, cement, fillers, fibre glass etc. The pick-up of
these materials may be harmful to your cleaner and will void the manufacturer's warranty.
PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY. This will ensure you
obtain full benefit from your new cleaner. Keep this Instruction Book in a handy place for
future reference.
IMPORTANT
Always switch the cleaner off and remove the plug from the electricity supply before cleaning
your appliance, when not in use, or attempting any maintenance task. The cleaner must only
be connected to an AC supply at the voltage shown on the rating plate. This cleaner should
only be used for its intended purpose as described in these instructions.
Never operate the vacuum cleaner without filters.
DO NOT pick up hard or sharp objects, matches, hot ashes, cigarette ends or similar items.
DO NOT pick up flammable liquids such as cleaning fluids, petrol etc., or use in the
presence of such vapors.
DO NOT use your cleaner out of doors or on any wet surface or for WET pick-up.
DO NOT use your cleaner over the power cord.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety. Young children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
DO NOT direct the appliance towards people or animals.
Always disconnect the cleaner from the power outlet by pulling out the plug directly,
NEVER by pulling on the supply cord. If using an extension cord please make sure that it is
of an approved type and that it is fully extended. Failure to do so could cause your cleaner
to overheat and damage it.
