IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.

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

12. DO NOT damage the power cord:

14. DO NOT use if nozzle or accessory

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.

not working as it should, or has been
dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or
dropped into water.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
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.

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)
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,

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.

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.
