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 15 amperes. Extension cords rated for less 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.

• Store your appliance indoors in a cool, dry area.

• Keep your work area well lit.

• Do not immerse the hand vacuum into water or other liquids.

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.
