When using an electrical appliance, always follow basic precautions, including the following: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE. Warning: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury: • Do not expose to rain; store indoors only. • Connect to a properly grounded outlet only. See “Grounding Instructions”. • Wear eye protection when operating blower. • Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Do not allow vacuum cleaner to be used as a toy or to run unattended at any time. • Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, feet and all parts of body away from openings, and moving parts. • Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes. • Do not pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline, or use in areas where they may be present. • Do not vacuum or use blower near toxic or health endangering materials such as asbestos, pesticides, fertilizers, or anything that is poisonous. • Do not vacuum explosive dusts or use cleaner or blower in areas that may contain explosive substances such as coal, grain, or any other fine, combustible material. • Avoid picking up hard, sharp objects with the cleaner. They may dam age the cleaner and the filter. • Do not use without filters in place. Clean filters frequently when picking up very fine materials such as powder. • Use extra care when cleaning on stairs. • Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, or anything that may reduce air flow. • 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. • Always disconnect cord from electrical outlet before servicing the cleaner. • Unplug cleaner when not in use. Turn off all controls before unplugging. • Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord. Never handle plug or appliance with wet hands. • If needed, connect to a suitable extension cord. See “Extension cord instructions”. • Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If appliance is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left out doors, or dropped into water, take it to a Hoover Factory Service Center or Authorized Hoover Warranty Service Dealer (Depot). • Use vacuum cleaner only for its intended use as described in the instructions. Use only attachments recommended by The Hoover Company; others may cause hazards. Save these instructions! 2 A D E F C B 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 equipmentgrounding 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. G DANGERImproper 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 illustrated in sketch “A”. A temporary adapter (D) may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle (G) if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (B) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear (E), lug, or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw (F). NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code. Questions or Concerns?

Dry pick-up With foam and paper filters in place and cleaner lid locked onto tank, attach the desired tool to hose end. Plug power cord into a properly grounded outlet and turn cleaner on.

Plug power cord into a properly grounded outlet and turn cleaner on. Do not use paper filter for wet pick-up. Do not use cleaner as a pump to clean out clogged drains, sinks, or other plumbing fixtures. If cleaner will not pick up, check filters. They may need to be cleaned or changed (See “Maintenance” section). 2-3 C B C D The blower can be used to blow dirt out of areas where it is impossible for suction to reach. Inside of hose, and tools must be free of litter before operating blower. We recommend that the filters be in place when operating the blower feature. Disconnect cleaner from electrical outlet. Push hose into blower port (A) or (B); twist hose to tighten or loosen connection. Attach tool if desired. CAUTION: Wear safety goggles when using blower feature. Do not blow toward people, animals, or objects that may be damaged by flying debris. Wear ear protection if using the blower for a prolonged period of time. Plug power cord into a properly grounded outlet, grasp free end of hose, and turn cleaner on. Do not use blower to spray paint or any other flammable or combustible materials. When the tank is full of liquid, the automatic shut-off mechanism will shut off cleaner pick-up. When this happens, the cleaner will no longer pick up and the motor sound will become noticeably higher in pitch. Turn cleaner off and empty tank to continue use. The automatic shut-off will also engage if the cleaner has been tipped over. To continue use, turn cleaner off and set it upright. Wait a few seconds to allow motor to come to a complete stop. 3. Maintenance 3-1 A Blower feature Automatic wet shut-off D Storage Empty tank (see Maintenance section).

Release lid latches and remove cleaner lid from tank. 2. To avoid back strain, do not lift a full tank. First, scoop out enough debris to make tank easier to lift. 3. For ease in emptying tank, “handles” are provided on bottom of tank. Empty contents into a suitable receptacle. Continued 7 3-2 Filters Dry paper filter E Disconnect cleaner from electrical outlet. Replace paper filter periodically to ensure peak cleaner performance. See “filters” section in Assembly instructions for proper assembly of paper filter.

As the liquid level decreases, it may be necessary to tip cleaner to allow remaining liquid to drain out. 3. Rinse inside of tank thoroughly with clean water particularly if spills or other liquid substances other than plain water have been picked up. Wipe inside of tank dry. Disconnect cleaner from electrical outlet. After each wet pick-up use, remove foam filter. Rinse filter with clean water and let air dry. See “filters” section of Assembly instructions for proper assembly of foam filter. The reusable cartridge filter, available at additional cost, can be used for both wet and dry pick-up. It can improve your cleaner’s performance significantly. And since it is reusable, the cartridge filter will save you money that would otherwise be spent on replacement dry filter bags. All filters, including the cartridge filter, are available at your Hoover Factory Service Center, Authorized Hoover Warranty Dealer, on the enclosed order form, or by writing to The Hoover Company, North Canton, Ohio 44720.
