2. Use the system only for its intended use.
3. To protect against a risk of electric shock,

6. Do not pull cord around sharp corners or
close door on cord.
7. 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 SHARK. Return the system to
EURO-PRO Corporation (see warranty) for
examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly or repair can cause a risk of
electrical shock or injury to persons when
the SHARK is used.

appliance being used by or near children.
Do not leave the system unattended while
connected.

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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS cont.
Cleaning & Changing the
HEPA Dust Cup Filter
Warning: Always unplug the unit from
electrical outlet before opening the Dust
Cup (container).
Important: Do NOT use the HEPA filter
cartridge without the debris screen in
place.
Warning: 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.
IMPORTANT
“TapClean” HEPA Dust Cup Filter &
Debris Screen will stop most of the tiniest
dust particles and airborne allergens from
re-entering the air you breathe. In fact it
stops 99.97% of all particles as small as
0.3 microns - many times smaller than a
human hair!!! Because of this incredible
filtration performance, the HEPA Dust Cup
Filter will quickly accumulate, inside the
white filter folds, many fine dust particles
that are difficult to see but which will
eventually block or reduce your suction
power - if not cleaned properly. Clean the
HEPA Filter and Debris Screen after each
use as described in this section.
1. To open the Dust Cup (container),
push button and detach the Dust
Cup (container ). (Fig. 1)
2. Pull out the HEPA Dust Cup Filter.
(Fig. 2)
3. Empty the dust from the Dust Cup
(container).
4. Separate the debris screen from the
HEPA filter cartridge by grasping the
debris screen with one hand and the
filter frame with the other and pull
apart. (fig. 3)
, Please Note : The

falling out from
between the pleats of
the filter. (fig. 4)
6. “TapClean” the Debris

(fig. 5) Remember that
the Debris Screen
must be completely
dry before reinstalling
in the vacuum.
7. Replace the Debris Screen on the
HEPA Dust Cup Filter and reinstall
filter assembly in the vacuum. (not
shown)
PLEASE NOTE
: The white pleated
filter material in the HEPA Dust Cup
Filter will discolor over time -This is
NORMAL and will NOT affect the
performance of the filter. If the HEPA
Dust Cup Filter
is properly
"TapCleaned”
after each use
and suction
does not return
to 100%, then
we suggest that
the HEPA filter
be “TapCleaned”

vigorously until no
more dust can be removed, then
rinsed under the faucet and allowed to
dry for 24 hours before refitting into
the vacuum. (Fig. A) Wash once a
month or when suction appears
reduced.
CAUTION: The suction hole must be
open, free of any obstructions at all
times. Otherwise, the motor will overheat
and could become damaged.
