Note: To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

Maintenance
Disconnect cleaner from electrical outlet before attempting to service it in any manner.
Do not operate without paper bag in place.
The filter bag
When to replace
Check filter bag from time to time. It is recommended that you change the filter bag when dirt reaches the dotted line. If more dirt than this accumulates, your cleaner may not operate effectively.
Note: Check and change the filter bag frequently when using cleaner on new carpet due to rapid accumulation of car- pet fluff.
CAUTION: Very fine materials, such as face powder, cornstarch, fireplace ashes or fireplace soot, may seal the filter bag and may cause it to burst even though it is only partially full of dirt. When cleaner is used to remove material of this nature, change filter bag often.
Where to buy
Filter bags may be purchased from your local Authorized Hoover Dealer (Depot), leading retailers, or from a Hoover Fac- tory Service Center.
