Important Safeguards! When using an electrical appliance, always follow basic precaution, including the following: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, 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 Instruc- tions". • Do not clean over floor electrical outlets. • Do not use without tanks in place. • Use extra care when cleaning on stairs. Do not place carpet cleaning machine on stairs. • Use deep 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 deep cleaner when not in use. Turn off all controls before unplugging. • Always disconnect cord from electrical outlet before servicing the deep 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 deep cleaner to be used as a toy or to run unattended at any time. • Do not point stair/upholstery 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 machine. • 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 deep cleaner. 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.
