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.

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.

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.

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 after routine maintenance.

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

ASSEMBLING YOUR VACUUM

USING THE MOTORIZED FLOOR NOZZLE

STEP 1

Insert the wand into the motorized ﬂoor nozzle connector, pressing it in until it clicks into place.

CLICK

STEP 2

Insert the handheld vacuum into the top of the wand, pressing it in until it clicks into place.

CLICK

NOTE: Before vacuuming your

area rugs or carpet, refer to the manufacturer’s recommended cleaning instructions.

WHAT DOES THE BRUSHROLL INDICATOR LIGHT MEAN?

Solid Green

The brushrolls are on and working as they should.

Solid Red

There is a jam in the brushroll area. Turn your vacuum o and remove the blockage.

No Light

The brushrolls are o because the vacuum is o.

STEP 1

Plug the unit in and recline the wand.

STEP 2

Slide the power switch to appropriate speed setting (I or II) and start cleaning.

NOTE:

The motorized ﬂoor nozzle and handheld vacuum have LED lights that illuminate the ﬂoor surface being cleaned. The lights turn on automatically in either speed setting.

TIP: You can attach the handheld vacuum directly to the motorized ﬂoor nozzle for convenient stair cleaning.

Bare Floor, Area Rugs (I) – The brushroll and the Soft Roller both spin together slowly to clean bare ﬂoors and area rugs. The Soft Roller traps ﬁne dust and large particles, while the brushroll directs that debris to the suction channel.

High Pile Carpets (II) – Both brushrolls spin faster, working together to pick up debris below the surface of your carpets.

NOTE: For deep cleaning per ASTM F 608 (embedded dirt in carpets) please set to High Pile Carpets (II).
