Important Safeguards!

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.

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 equipment-

grounding 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.

DANGER-

Improper 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.

Extension cord

instructions

Use at least a 16 gauge, grounding

type, SVT or SJT type extension

cord. The extension cord must

employ a 3-prong grounding type

plug and a 3-pole receptacle that

accepts the machine plug.

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.

Use paper filter with foam filter for

dry pick-up only.

Wet pick-up

With foam filter only in place and

cleaner lid locked onto tank, attach

desired tool (with squeegee if

available with your model) to hose

end. 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).

Automatic wet

shut-off

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.

Blower feature

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.

Storage

Empty tank (see Maintenance

section). Rinse inside of tank with

clean water before storing

particularly if kitchen spills or any

substance other than plain water

has been picked up. Wipe dry.

Loop cord over cord storage hook (C).

Slide wands into wand storage clip

(D) on sides of cleaner lid.

Press tools into areas located on top

of cleaner lid.

3. Maintenance

Emptying tank

After dry pick-up

Disconnect cleaner from

1. 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.

for “After dry pick up” then

proceed with step 3 below.

For Supreme models, proceed as

follows:

1. Unscrew drain cap (E) from

bottom of tank. Empty contents into

a suitable drain.

2. 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.

Filters

Dry paper filter

Disconnect cleaner from electrical

outlet.

Replace paper filter periodically to

ensure peak cleaner performance.

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.

Optional reusable

cartridge 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,
