MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE BRUSHROLL

Self-Cleaning Brushroll:
Shark’s self-cleaning brushroll automatically removes hair wrap. If some hair remains wrapped
around the brushroll, continue cleaning to give it time to make its way to the dust cup. If you run
over a hard or sharp object or notice a noise change while vacuuming, check for blockages or
objects caught behind the brushroll.

BRUSHROLL ACCESS

NOTE : If any hair is wrapped around the brushroll, extending cleaning time will allow the self-cleaning brushroll to remove it for you. If some hair wrap remains after continued use, carefully remove it from the brushroll.

CORD MAINTENANCE

1. DO NOT pull or carry vacuum cleaner by the cord or use cord as a handle.
2. DO NOT unplug by pulling on the cord. Grasp the plug, not the cord.
3. DO NOT close the door on the cord.
4. DO NOT pull the cord around sharp corners.
5. DO NOT leave the cord near heated surfaces.

To minimize the risk of power cord damage, DO NOT run the vacuum over the power cord. If this occurs, immediately shut off power to the vacuum and remove the cord from the brushroll or nozzle.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Power cord caught in brushroll or floor nozzle.

• To minimize the risk of power cord damage, DO NOT run the vacuum over the power cord.
  If this occurs, immediately shut off power to the vacuum and remove the cord from the
  brushroll or nozzle.

• Inspect power cord and plug for any damage before use. DO NOT use vacuum cleaner with a damaged cord or plug. Turn off all controls before plugging in or unplugging the vacuum cleaner. Store your vacuum cleaner with the power cord secured around the two cord hooks.

Vacuum is not picking up debris. No suction or light suction.

• Check filters to see if they need cleaning. Follow instructions for rinsing and air-drying the
  filters before reinstalling.

• Dust cup may be full; empty dust cup.

• Clear any blockages in the hose, hose connections, nozzle, wand, pod, or accessories. See
  Checking for Blockages section for more information.

• If any hair is wrapped around the brushroll, continue vacuuming. This will allow the selfcleaning brushroll to remove the hair wrap and send it to the dust cup. If some fibers remain wrapped around the brushroll after continued use, open the brushroll cover to remove them.

Vacuum lifts area rugs.

• Make sure Power/Surface switch is set to Hard Floor (setting I).
• Suction is powerful. Take care when vacuuming area rugs or rugs with delicately sewn edges.
• To minimize suction, set the suction control slider to MIN. See the Suction Control section
  for more information.

Brushroll does not spin.

• If the brushroll indicator light turns red, immediately turn off and unplug the vacuum.
  Remove pod from floor nozzle and clear any blockages. Reconnect nozzle, plug in vacuum,
  and turn on power.

• With the power on, recline the handle, which will automatically turn on the brushroll.

Vacuum turns off on its own or indicator light flashes red.

If your vacuum overheats, the thermostat will automatically turn off the motor. Follow these
steps to restart:
1. Turn vacuum off and unplug it.
2. Empty dust cup and clean filters (see Emptying the Dust Cup and Cleaning the Filters).
3. Check for blockages in hose, wand, nozzle, accessories, and inlet openings.
4. Allow unit to cool for a minimum of 60 minutes.
5. Plug in vacuum and turn it on.
