IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this vacuum cleaner has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will
fit into a polarized outlet only one way. 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.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY:

GENERAL WARNINGS

1. Your vacuum cleaner may consist

of a motorized nozzle, wand, hose,
and/or vacuum pod. This device
contains electrical connections,
electrical wiring, and moving
parts that potentially present risk
to the user.

2. Use only identical replacement
parts.

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 for any damage. DO NOT
use if any parts are damaged.

5. The use of an extension cord is
NOT recommended.

6. This vacuum cleaner contains

no serviceable parts.

USE WARNINGS

7. DO NOT allow the appliance to be

used by children. Close supervision

8. Always turn off the vacuum cleaner
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

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.

on cord. Grasp the plug, not
the cord.

c) DO NOT run the vacuum cleaner

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.

maintenance.

during storage.
