SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

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.

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 ma tches)

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,
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 af ter routine
maintenance.

30. If provided, secure the power
cord around the two cord hooks
during storage.
