POLARIZED PLUG:

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance
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 in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician
to install the proper outlet. Do not force into

the outlet or try to modify the plug to
fit.

Manual Suction Control

7 The Shark® Professional Canister Vacuum includes

a quick manual suction control on the handle of
the hose. The suction power can be adjusted by
moving the slide regulator to the desired position.
(Fig. 7) By opening the slide regulator, the suction
will be reduced for vacuuming upholstery and
draperies easily. With the slide regulator closed,
you get maximum suction for vacuuming carpets.

Variable Suction Control
8 For bigger cleaning jobs across all surfaces, the

Shark

®

Professional Canister also features a
variable suction control located on the canister.
Slide the knob from side to side to change the
level of suction. An indicator light displays the
amount of suction while in use (Fig. 8).

Using the Floor Brush

9 The floor brush can be used to vacuum both

carpets and bare floors. To vacuum carpets, press
the pedal down towards the front of the floor
brush (Fig. 9). This will lift the bristles on the floor
brush. If the suction is too strong, you can reduce
it by adjusting the manual suction control on the
handle of the hose. To vacuum bare floors, press
the pedal down towards the back of the floor
brush (Fig. 10).
