the door to swing open.

Proper Care of Your Shark® Upright Vacuum
Component | Maintenance Schedule |
---|---|
1. Cyclonic Chamber | Empty every 3 months, under normal use |
2. Foam Filters (2) | Wash every 3 months, under normal use |
Felt Filter | Wash every 12 months, under normal use |
For proper care, consult the table to the right for the maintenance schedule
of your Cyclonic Chamber and Filters.
Lock vacuum into upright position.
Turn vacuum off.
CAUTION :
Unplug the vacuum; failure to do so might result in electric shock.
Remove Dust Cup Assembly.
1. Cleaning the Cyclonic Chamber:

and lift open the Dust Cup lid.
Remove the Cyclonic Chamber from the Dust Cup Assembly.
Insert the Cyclonic Chamber deep inside trash receptacle to contain dust.
Press the Cyclonic Chamber Release Button to open and remove the bottom door.
Tap clean the open Cyclonic Chamber to release dust and then attach and close
bottom door.
Important: Be careful not to damage the metal screen on the bottom of the

may disrupt the advanced cyclonic action and decrease the performance of your
Dust Cup – requiring more frequent emptying of the Cyclonic Chamber.
Return Cyclonic Chamber to Dust Cup Assembly and close Dust Cup lid.
DO NOT operate your vacuum without the Cyclonic Chamber in place. Doing so would require more frequent washing of the foam filers, and could decrease the life of your vacuum.
Option B: Allergy Sufferers
Carry the Dust Cup Assembly and a trash bag outside of your home.
Follow the instructions above for Option A, but instead of inserting Cyclonic
Chamber into a trash receptacle wrap the trash bag around the Cyclonic
Chamber.
2. Washing the Foam and Felt Filters:
Remove the Foam and the Felt Filters from the Filter Holder
Rinse in lukewarm water until the water runs clear.
Squeeze filters and let air dry for 24 hours before replacing; do not use hair
dryer or other heating methods to dry. Insert the included replacement filters
while others are drying.
DO NOT operate the vacuum without ALL the filters in place. DO NOT operate the vacuum with WET filters.
Note : Your 2 white foams and other filters will discolor over time; this
is normal and will not affect the performance of the filters.
Note : It is NOT recommended to rinse the woven exhaust filter located on
the front of the unit. This filter will continue to last the lifetime of your
vacuum.
