IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For Household Use Only
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 is necessary when
used near children. This is not a toy.
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® branded filters
and accessories. Failure to do so
will also void the warranty.
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.
b) DO NOT unplug by pulling
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.
17. Use extra care when cleaning
on stairs.
18. DO NOT leave the vacuum cleaner unattended
while plugged in.
19. When powered on, keep the vacuum cleaner
moving over the carpet surface at all times to
avoid damaging the carpet fibers.
20. DO NOT place vacuum cleaner
on unstable surfaces such as chairs or tables.
21. Your Shark® Vacuum may not
be designed to stand up on its own. When taking
a break from cleaning, you may need to lean it
against furniture or a wall, or lay it flat
on the floor. Using the vacuum
for an application where the unit lacks stability
may result in
personal injury.
22. DO NOT use to pick up:
a) Liquids
b) Large objects
c) Hard or sharp objects
(glass, nails, screws, or coins)
d) Large quantities of dust (drywall dust,
fireplace ash, or embers). DO NOT use
as an attachment to power tools for dust
collection.
e) Smoking or burning objects
(hot coals, cigarette butts,
or matches)
f) Flammable or combustible materials (lighter
fluid, gasoline, or kerosene)
g) Toxic materials (chlorine bleach, ammonia,
or drain cleaner)
English
23. DO NOT use in the following areas:
a) Poorly lit areas
b) Wet or damp surfaces
c) Outdoor areas
d) Spaces that are enclosed and may contain
explosive or toxic fumes or vapors (lighter
fluid, gasoline, kerosene, paint, paint
thinners, mothproofing substances, or
flammable dust)
24. Turn off all controls before plugging in or
unplugging the vacuum.
25. Unplug from electrical outlet
when not in use and before
any maintenance or cleaning.
26. Hand wash with water only.
Washing with cleaning chemicals could
damage the unit.
27. During cleaning or routine maintenance, DO
NOT cut anything other than hair, fibers, or
string wrapped around the brushroll.
28. Allow all filters to air-dry completely before
replacing in the vacuum to prevent liquid from
being drawn
into electric parts.
29. Make sure the dust cup and all filters are in
place after routine maintenance.
30. If provided, secure the power
cord around the two cord hooks during
storage.
