IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, injury, or property damage,
when using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS VACUUM
-
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. To minimize the risk of power cord damage, do not allow the motorized brushroll to ingest the cord. If this occurs, immediately shut off power to the vacuum and remove the cord.
-
This appliance has a polarized plug, if the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug (one blade is wider than the other). If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT force into outlet or try to modify to fit.
-
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.
-
Use only identical replacement parts.
-
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.
-
Before use, carefully inspect all parts for any damage. DO NOT use if any parts are damaged.
-
The use of an extension cord is NOT recommended.
-
This vacuum cleaner contains no serviceable parts.
-
This appliance can be used by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children. Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children. DO NOT allow the appliance to be used by children. DO NOT allow to be used as a toy. Close supervision is necessary when used near children.
-
Always turn off the vacuum cleaner before connecting or disconnecting any motorized nozzles or other accessories.
-
DO NOT handle plug or vacuum cleaner with wet hands.
-
DO NOT use without filters in place.
-
Only use Shark® branded filters and accessories.
-
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. -
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.
-
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.
-
Keep nozzle and all vacuum openings away from hair, face, fingers, uncovered feet, or loose clothing.
-
DO NOT use if vacuum cleaner is not working as it should, or has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water.
-
Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
-
DO NOT leave the vacuum cleaner unattended while plugged in.
-
When powered on, keep the vacuum cleaner moving over the carpet surface at all times to avoid damaging the carpet fibbers.
-
DO NOT place vacuum cleaner on unstable surfaces such as chairs or tables.
-
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.
-
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 matches)
f) Flammable or combustible materials (lighter fluid, gasoline, or kerosene)
g) Toxic materials (chlorine bleach, ammonia, or drain cleaner) -
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 vapours (lighter fluid, gasoline, kerosene, paint, paint thinners, mothproofing substances, or flammable dust) -
Turn off all controls before plugging in or unplugging the vacuum.
-
Unplug from electrical outlet when not in use and before any maintenance or cleaning.
-
Hand wash with water only. Washing with cleaning chemicals could damage the unit.
-
During cleaning or routine maintenance, DO NOT cut anything other than hair, fibbers, or string wrapped around the brushroll.
-
Allow all filters to air-dry completely before replacing in the vacuum to prevent liquid from being drawn into electric parts.
-
Make sure the dust cup and all filters are in place after routine maintenance.
-
If provided, secure the power cord around the two cord hooks during storage.

MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT: Unplug the vacuum before performing any maintenance.
EMPTYING THE DUST CUP
Empty the dust cup each time you vacuum and periodically during cleaning, when debris in the dust cup reaches the MAX fill line.
CLEANING FILTERS
Regularly rinse and replace the filters to maintain your vacuum’s suction power. To prevent damage from cleaning chemicals, rinse filters with cold water only. Do not use soap. Allow all filters to air-dry for at least 24 hours before reinstalling them to prevent liquid from being drawn into electronic parts.
REPLACEMENT FILTERS
NOTE: The pre-motor filters should be replaced every 2.5 years. The post- motor filter should be replaced every 3 years.
CHECKING FOR BLOCKAGES
FLOOR NOZZLE MAINTENANCE
Remove any debris or hair wrap carefully with your hands or scissors. Check the Debris Intake and clear away any dirt or blockages. To close the debris intake, press down on both sides until it clicks into place.
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.
(Refer to Maintenance section for more information.)
- Empty the dust cup. Check filters to see if they need cleaning. Follow instructions for rinsing and completely air-drying the filters before reinstalling them.
- Clear any blockages in the nozzle, wand, handheld vacuum, or accessories. See Checking for Blockages section for more information.
- If any string, hair, or carpet fibbers remain wrapped around the brushroll after continued use, carefully clear them away.
- Check the debris intake and clear any blockages. Ensure the intake is locked into place by pushing down on both sides.
Vacuum lifts area rugs.
- Suction is powerful. Take care when vacuuming area rugs or rugs with delicately sewn edges.
- Turn off the unit to disengage the brushroll. To restart, press the power button on the handle.
NOTE: Clean area rugs in Bare Floor mode or with accessories. See Available Accessories section for more information.
Brush roll does not spin.
If the brushroll indicator light turns solid red, immediately turn off and
unplug the vacuum.
- Disconnect the wand from the floor nozzle and clear any blockages.
- Reconnect the wand, plug in the vacuum, and turn on the power.
- If the brushroll indicator light on the floor nozzle is green, the blockage has been successfully cleared. If the light is still red, please contact Customer Service at 1-800-798-7398.
Vacuum turns off on its own.
If your vacuum overheats, the thermostat will automatically turn off the
motor. Perform the following steps to restart:
- Turn vacuum off and unplug it.
- Empty dust cup and clean filters. See Emptying the Dust Cup and Cleaning Filters sections.
- Check for blockages in wand, floor nozzle, handheld vacuum, inlet openings, and accessories.
- Reassemble the entire vacuum and ensure all parts click into place.
- Allow unit to cool for a minimum of 60 minutes.
- Plug in vacuum and turn it on.
Vacuum is making a loud noise.
If you vacuum up a hard or sharp object or notice a noise change while
vacuuming, check for blockages or objects caught behind the brushroll. See
Checking for Blockages section for more information.
Handheld vacuum is warm.
Due to the strong suction power of the vacuum, it is normal for the area
around the filter exhaust to become warm during and after use. Turn off the
vacuum and wait 10 minutes for it to cool down. If it still feels warm, clean
the pre-motor and post-motor filters. See Maintenance section for filter
cleaning instructions.
