Important Safeguards!
When using an electrical appliance, always follow basic precautions, including
the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING APPLIANCE.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, or injury:
• Use indoors only.
• Use only on surfaces moistened by
the cleaning process. Do not immerse
product.
• Connect to a properly grounded
outlet only. See "Grounding
Instructions".
• Do not clean over floor electrical
outlets.
• Do not use without tanks in place.
• Do not fill with water above 140˚F
(60˚C).
• When using recommended chemi-
cals with this machine, be certain
area is well ventilated.
• Use extra care when cleaning on
stairs. Do not place cleaner on stairs.
• Use cleaner only for its intended
use as described in the instructions.
• Use only attachments recommend-
ed by Hoover; others may cause haz-
ards.
• 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 cleaner when not in use.
Turn off all controls before unplug-
ging.
• Unplug before connecting the pow-
ered hand tool.
• Always disconnect cord from electri-
cal outlet before servicing the 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 Sales and Service
Center or Authorized Hoover Warranty
Service Dealer.
• Close supervision is necessary
when any appliance is used by or
near children. Do not allow cleaner to
be used as a toy or to run unattended
at any time.
• Do not point tools toward people or
pets.
• Use only commercially available
Hoover SteamVac™ cleaners intended
for machine application. Do not use
any type of wax with cleaner.
• 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 ciga-
rettes, matches, or hot ashes.
• Avoid picking up hard, sharp
objects with the 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 open-
ings. 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 resoil-
ing, avoid contact with carpets until
they are dry. Keep children and pets
away from carpets until they are com-
pletely dry.
• Store in a dry place. Do not expose
machine to freezing temperatures.
Grounding
Instructions
A
B
C
This appliance must be grounded. If it
should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resis-
tance for electrical current to reduce the
risk of electric shock. This appliance is
equipped with a cord having an equip-
ment-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 qual-
ified 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
(E) 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,
lug, or the like (F) extending from the
adapter must be connected to a perma-
nent ground (G) such as a properly
grounded outlet box cover. Whenever
the adapter is used, it must be held in
place by a metal screw. NOTE: In
Canada, the use of a temporary adapter
is not permitted by the Canadian
Electrical Code.
