20. To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock - use

21. DO NOT add any cleaning solutions in the
Shark® Sonic Duo+™ other than Shark®’s
Low Moisture - No Rinse - Carpet Shampoo and
Wood & Hard Floor Cleaner. The Wood & Hard
Floor Polish should never be run through the
Sonic Duo+™. It will cause clogging. Use of other
scented perfumes, oils or any other chemicals
added to the solution or to the Reusable Bottle

water area, we recommend using distilled water
to dilute the Low Moisture - No Rinse - Carpet

Low Moisture - No Rinse - Carpet Shampoo and
Wood & Hard Floor Cleaner as this could affect
the effectiveness of the appliance.

PERIOD OF TIME WHEN THE CLEANING

removing the pads.

this appliance to clean stairs.

place.

31. To avoid circuit overload, do not operate another
appliance on the same socket (circuit) as the
Sonic Duo+™.

32. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, an
extension cord rated a minimum of 10 ampere,

1.0mm2 cord should be used. Cords rated for less
amperage may overheat. Care should be taken
to arrange cord so that it cannot be pulled or
tripped over.

33. This appliance is provided with double
insulation. Use only identical replacement parts.
See instructions for servicing of double-insulated
appliances.

WARNING: Your Sonic Duo+

designed to clean hard floor and carpet surfaces.
Do not use on wood or tile floors that are highly
worn, unfinished or have a wax or oil finish.
Surfaces that have been treated with wax or
some no wax floors may be damaged by the
cleaning and polishing solutions therefore it is
always recommended to test an isolated area
of the surface to be cleaned before proceeding.
You should always check the use and care
instructions from the floor manufacturer.
Always check with the carpet manufacturer or
distributer before using the Shark® Activating
Pretreater Carpet Stain & Odor Remover or the
Low Moisture -No Rinse - Carpet Shampoo.
To determine the colorfastness of any carpet

-especially with reds or blues - take a clean,
moist towel and gently rub a small area in an
inconspicuous area. If color comes off the towel,
you may need to have the carpets cleaned
professionally.
