Specifications

Before You Begin

This cleaner is designed for domestic household cleaning to remove DRY dirt and dust from carpets, flooring, and fabrics. It is not suitable for industrial use or collecting materials like vitreous building material, wood/fibres, cement, fillers, fibre glass, or excessive sand, as this may harm the cleaner and void the warranty.

Important Safety Precautions:

• Always switch off and unplug the cleaner from the electricity supply before cleaning, when not in use, or performing maintenance.
• Connect only to an AC supply matching the voltage on the rating plate.
• Never operate the vacuum cleaner without filters installed.
• Keep the cleaner away from heaters, radiators, and hot surfaces.
• Ensure hands are dry before plugging into the wall socket.
• Remove large or sharp objects from the floor before cleaning to prevent damage to the filter.
• To unplug, gently pull the plug from the socket, not the power cable.
• If the air inlet, floor head, or telescopic tube become blocked, switch off immediately, disconnect from mains power, clear the blockage, and then restart.

Warnings

• Do not leave the charger connected to mains power when not in use. Disconnect from power before maintenance.
• Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces to reduce the risk of electric shock.
• This appliance is not a toy. Do not allow children to use it unattended.
• Use only as described in this manual.
• Do not use if the power cable or plug appears damaged. Return to a Hoover service agent if the cleaner is not working correctly, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water.
• Do not pull or carry the appliance by the power cable, use the power cable as a handle, or pull it around sharp edges or corners. Avoid running the appliance over the power cable.
• Keep the appliance away from heated surfaces.
• Unplug the charger by grasping the plug, not the power cable.
• Do not handle the appliance and/or power cable with wet hands.
• Ensure all openings and entry points are clear of objects or blockages before use.
• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
• Do not use with or near combustible liquids (e.g., gasoline, hot ashes, cigarettes, matches) or in areas where such substances may be present.
• If the power cable is damaged, return to a Hoover service agent to avoid a hazard.
