IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using your EURO-PRO BIG SHARK, basic safety precautions should
always be observed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using your
BIG SHARK hand vacuum.
2. Use the system only for its intended use.
3. To protect against a risk of electric shock,
do not immerse any part of the system in
water or other liquids.
4. Never yank cord to disconnect from
outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to
disconnect.
5. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces.
6. Do not operate the system with a damaged
cord or plug, or if the appliance or any other
part of the system has been dropped or
damaged. To avoid the risk of electric
shock, do not disassemble or attempt to
repair the BIG SHARK. Return the
system to EURO-PRO Corporation (see
warranty) for examination and repair.
Incorrect re-assembly or repair can cause a
risk of electrical shock or injury to persons
when the BIG SHARK is used.
7. Close supervision is necessary for any
appliance being used by or near children.
Do not leave the system unattended while
connected.
8. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all
parts of body away from opening and
moving parts.
9. Do not use to pick up flammable or
combustible liquids such as gasoline or use
in areas where they may be present.
10. Do not pick up anything that is burning or
smoking such as cigarettes, matches or hot
ashes.
11. Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
12. Do not use the hand vacuum without the
dust cup filter in place.
13. This appliance is intended only for
household use. Follow all user instructions
in this manual.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
injury:
• Do not leave the BIG SHARK plugged in
when unattended. Unplug the electrical cord
when not in use and before servicing.
• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close
attention is necessary when used by or near
children, pets or plants.
• Use only as described in this manual. Use
only manufacturer’s recommended
accessories.
• Do not pull cord, use cord as a handle, close
a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp
edges or corners. Keep cord away from
heated surfaces.
•Use only extension cords UL-rated or cUL at

amperage may overheat. Care should be
taken to arrange the cord so that the cord
cannot be pulled or tripped over.
• Turn off all controls as applicable before
unplugging from electrical outlet.
• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug,
grasp the plug, not the cord.
• Do not handle plug or hand vacuum with wet
hands or operate without shoes.
• Do not put any objects into openings. Do not
use with any opening blocked. Keep free of
dust, lint, hair and anything else that may
reduce air flow.

Please Note: After each Use - Always remove the Filter Debris Screen from the
HEPA Dust Cup Filter, then vigorously “TapClean” HEPA Filter until no more dust
can be removed. Filter should be rinsed and completely dried at least once a month
or when suction appears reduced.
To wash your HEPA Dust Cup Filter, hold filter cartridge by frame flange and rinse
under a tap until all observable dirt has been removed. Some discoloration of the
HEPA filter material may occur, this is normal and will not affect the filter's
performance. When finished, shake off excess water. Do NOT wash in dishwasher.
It is important that when you wash the HEPA dust cup filter, you allow it to dry
COMPLETELY before using again. We recommend 24 hours to air dry. DO NOT
DRY IN DRYER.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
For Household Use Only
