wiring, and moving parts that
potentially present risk to the user.

3.

Carefully observe and follow the
instructions provided below to avoid
improper use of the appliance. DO NOT
use the vacuum for any purpose other
than those described in this manual.

4. Before use, carefully inspect all parts

before connecting or disconnecting
any motorized nozzles or other
accessories.

9. DO NOT handle plug or vacuum
cleaner with wet hands.

10. DO NOT use without filters in place.

11. Only use Shark® branded filters

and accessories. Failure to do so

12. DO NOT damage the power cord:
a) DO NOT pull or carry vacuum

cleaner by the cord or use the
cord as a handle.

b) DO NOT unplug by pulling

on cord. Grasp the plug, not

over the power cord, close a door
on the cord, pull the cord around
sharp corners, or leave the cord
near heated surfaces.

13. DO NOT put any objects into nozzle
or accessory openings. DO NOT use
with any opening blocked; keep free
of dust, lint, hair, and anything that
may reduce airflow.

14. DO NOT use if nozzle or accessory
airflow is restricted. If the air paths or
the motorized floor nozzle become
blocked, turn the vacuum cleaner
off and unplug from electrical outlet.
Remove all obstructions before you
plug in and turn on the unit again.

15. Keep nozzle and all vacuum
openings away from hair, face,
fingers, uncovered feet, or
loose clothing.

16. DO NOT use if vacuum cleaner is
not working as it should, or has been
dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or
dropped into water.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, injury, or property damage:

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY • PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USE

If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT force into outlet or try to modify to fit.

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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

17. Use extra care when cleaning
on stairs.

18. DO NOT leave the vacuum cleaner
unattended while plugged in.

19. When powered on, keep the vacuum
cleaner moving over the carpet surface
at all times to avoid damaging the
carpet fibers.

20. DO NOT place vacuum cleaner
on unstable sur faces such as chairs
or tables.

21. Your Shark® vacuum may not be
designed to stand up on its own. When
taking a break from cleaning, you may
need to lean it against furniture or a
wall, or lay it flat on the floor. Using
the vacuum for an application where
the unit lacks stability may result in
personal injury.

22. DO NOT use to pick up:

a) Liquids
b) Large objects
c) Hard or sharp objects

(glass, nails, screws, or coins)

d) Large quantities of dust (drywall

dust, fireplace ash, or embers).
DO NOT use as an attachment to
power tools for dust collection.

e) Smoking or burning objects

(hot coals, cigarette butts,
or matches)

or kerose ne)

g) Toxic materials (chlorine bleach,

ammonia, or drain cleaner)

23. DO NOT use in the following areas:
a) Poorly lit areas
b) Wet or damp surfaces
c) Outdoor areas

contain explosive or toxic fumes
or vapors (lighter fluid, gasoline,
kerosene, paint, paint thinners,
mothproofing substances, or
flammable dust)

24. Turn off all controls before plugging in
or unplugging the vacuum.

25. Unplug from electrical outlet
when not in use and before
any maintenance or cleaning.

26. Hand wash with water only.
Washing with cleaning chemicals
could damage the unit.

27. During cleaning or routine
maintenance, DO NOT cut anything
other than hair, fibers, or string
wrapped around the brushroll.

28. Allow all filters to air-dry completely
before replacing in the vacuum to
prevent liquid from being drawn
into electric parts.

29. Make sure the dust cup and all filters
are in place after routine maintenance.

30. If provided, secure the power
