IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS For Household Use Only

When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be observed, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR SHARK® UPRIGHT VACUUM.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of electric shock, the two-pronged power cord plug is polarized [one prong is larger than the other]; it will fit into the outlet only one way. DO NOT force into outlet or try to modify to fit.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY. DO NOT USE OUTDOORS OR ON WET SURFACES:

General Electrical Safety:

Unplug from electrical outlet when not in use and before servicing.

DO NOT use vacuum with a damaged cord or plug.

DO NOT pull or carry vacuum by the cord.

DO NOT unplug by pulling on cord; to unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

DO NOT run the vacuum over the power cord.

DO NOT use the cord as a handle.

DO NOT close a door on the cord.

DO NOT pull cord around sharp corners.

DO NOT leave appliance when plugged in.

Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

Turn off all controls before plugging or unplugging vacuum cleaner.

Hose Attachments:

DO NOT use if air flow is restricted; if the air paths, the hose or the extension tube become blocked, turn the vacuum cleaner off. Remove all obstructions before you turn on the unit again.

Keep the end of the hose, wands and other openings away from face and body.

Keep rotating brush and suction openings away from hair, face, fingers, uncovered feet or loose clothing.

Only use manufacturer’s recommended attachments.

General Use:

Use only as described in this manual.

DO NOT put any objects into openings.

Keep your work area well lit.

Keep the vacuum moving over the carpet surface at all times to avoid damaging the carpet fibers.

DO NOT place vacuum on unstable surfaces such as chairs or tables.

DO NOT pick up hard or sharp objects such as glass, nails, screws or coins that could damage the vacuum cleaner.

DO NOT pick up smoking or burning objects such as hot coals, cigarette butts or matches.

DO NOT pick up flammable or combustible materials such as lighter fluid, gasoline, kerosene or use in areas where they may be present.

DO NOT pick up toxic solutions such as chlorine bleach, ammonia or drain cleaner.

DO NOT use in an enclosed space where vapors are present from paint, paint thinner, moth-proofing substances, flammable dust or other explosive or toxic materials.

DO NOT vacuum up any liquids.

Emptying the Dust Cup Assembly

For best results empty the Dust Cup Assembly after each use; empty several times during prolonged usage.

Or empty the Dust Cup Assembly when it reaches the MAX fill line; NEVER

OVER-FILL THE DUST CUP.

Stand vacuum into upright position.

Turn vacuum off.

CAUTION:

Unplug the vacuum; failure to do so might result in electric shock.

1

To empty the Dust Cup Assembly:

1Grip carry handle and press the Dust Cup release button to remove Dust Cup Assembly

2Option A: for Quick Empty: Insert Dust Cup Assembly deep inside trash receptacle to contain dust and debris.

Press the Dust Cup Door release button; tap container gently to dislodge and release dust

and debris.

Snap door in place.

2

Important: if the Dust Cup Door does not swing open after pressing the release button, push the door open using the bottom door tabs.

3Option B: for Allergy Sufferers: Wrap a trash bag around the Dust Cup Assembly leaving space at the bottom for the door to swing open.

Locate the Dust Cup Door release button within the trash bag and press to release as you shake the dust cup to empty dust and debris.

Snap the bottom door in place.

10	TOLL FREE: 1-800-798-7398

Note: Some dust and debris may remain in the top of your dust cup assembly on or near the metal screen. It is not necessary to completely remove this material before continuing to vacuum; Shark® advanced cyclonic action will sweep the metal screen clean once you begin to refill your

dust cup.

3

Note: Option B can also be performed outside of the home to further minimize releasing dust back into the air. Carry just the Dust Cup Assembly and trash bag outside.

English

Proper Care of Your Shark® Upright Vacuum

Date Purchased:

For proper care, consult the table to the right for the maintenance schedule of your Cyclonic Chamber and Filters.

Lock vacuum into upright position.

Turn vacuum off.

CAUTION:

Unplug the vacuum; failure to do so might result in electric shock.

Remove Dust Cup Assembly.

2

Component		Maintenance Schedule
1	Cyclonic Chamber	Empty every 3 months, under normal use
2	Foam Filters (2)	Wash every 3 months, under normal use
	Felt Filter	Wash every 12 months, under normal use

1Cleaning the Cyclonic Chamber: Option A: Quick Empty

Press the Cyclonic Chamber release button at the top of the Dust Cup Assembly and lift open the Dust Cup lid.

Remove the Cyclonic Chamber from the Dust Cup Assembly.

Insert the Cyclonic Chamber deep inside trash receptacle to contain dust.

Press the Cyclonic Chamber Release Button to open and remove the bottom door.

Tap clean the open Cyclonic Chamber to release dust and then attach and close bottom door.

Important: Be careful not to damage the metal screen on the bottom of the Cyclonic Chamber when emptying. Tearing or changing the shape of this screen may disrupt the advanced cyclonic action and decrease the performance of your Dust Cup – requiring more frequent emptying of the Cyclonic Chamber.

Return Cyclonic Chamber to Dust Cup Assembly and close Dust Cup lid.

DO NOT operate your vacuum without the Cyclonic Chamber in place. Doing so would require more frequent washing of the foam filers, and could decrease the life of your vacuum.

Option B: Allergy Sufferers

Carry the Dust Cup Assembly and a trash bag outside of your home.

Follow the instructions above for Option A, but instead of inserting Cyclonic Chamber into a trash receptacle wrap the trash bag around the Cyclonic Chamber.

2Washing the Foam and Felt Filters:

Remove the Foam and the Felt Filters from the Filter Holder. Rinse in lukewarm water until the water runs clear.

Squeeze filters and let air dry for 24 hours before replacing; do not use hair dryer or other heating methods to dry. Insert the included replacement filters while others are drying.

DO NOT operate the vacuum without ALL the filters in place.

DO NOT operate the vacuum with WET filters.

Note: Your 2 white foams and other filters will discolor over time; this is normal and will not affect the performance of the filters.

Note: It is NOT recommended to rinse the woven exhaust filter located on the front of the unit. This filter will continue to last the lifetime of your vacuum.
