To reduce the risk of fire, electric
or injury:

Use indoors only.
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 carry compact spot cleaner while in use.
Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
Use compact spot cleaner only for its intended use as described in
the instructions. Use only attachments recommended by The Hoover
Company; 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 compact spot cleaner when not in use. Turn off all controls
before unplugging.
Always disconnect cord from electrical outlet before servicing the
compact spot 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 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 compact spot cleaner to be used as a toy or
to run unattended at any time.
Do not point nozzle tool 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 appliance.
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.
Avoid picking up hard, sharp objects with the compact spot cleaner.
They may damage the cleaner.
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.
Store in a dry place. Do not expose machine to freezing temperatures.
