Shark UltraLight Pet Corded Stick with Self-Cleaning Brushroll Owner’s Manual

Shark UltraLight Pet Corded Stick with Self-Cleaning Brushroll

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 an outlet or try to modify to fit.

WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY:

GENERAL WARNINGS
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

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 a 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. 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 the use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

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.

MAINTENANCE

Press the wand release button and lift the handheld vacuum. Remove the dust cup and check all intake openings for blockages.

To remove the dust cap from the handheld vacuum, press the two Dust Cup Release buttons at the same time and slide out the dust cup.

Hold the dust cup over the trash. Press the empty button and pull the dust cup open until it clicks and locks. To remove debris from the conical metal screen, tap the dust cup downward inside the trash.

Push the dust cup closed. Reinstall it in the handheld vacuum by inserting the front end first, then the back until it clicks into place.

IMPORTANT: Unplug the vacuum before performing any maintenance.

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.

With the dust cup detached, press the Filter Access buttons on both sides of the back of the dust cap, then pull out the filter housing. Pull the foam filter out of the housing, then lift out the felt filter by the pull tab.
The Pre-Motor Filters should be washed once a month.

Remove the filter cover on the top of the handheld vacuum to access the post-motor filter. To insert the filter cover, lead with the bottom and press the top into the handheld until it clicks into place.
The Post-Motor Filter should be washed once every 12 months.

Detach the wand and check it for blockages.

Detach the wand from the floor nozzle and set it aside. Tilt the floor nozzle tube back and check openings for blockages. Remove any blockages or debris from the floor nozzle debris intake. (See Floor Nozzle Maintenance section to check underneath the nozzle.).

NOTE: The pre-motor filters should be replaced every 2.5 years. The post- motor filter should be replaced every 3 years.

NOZZLE MAINTENANCE

If you notice any hair wrap, continue vacuuming and the Self-Cleaning Brushroll will automatically remove it. If some hair wrap remains after continued use, remove the brush roll cover from the bottom of the nozzle and carefully remove the hair. To open the cover, use a coin to turn the locks counterclockwise. Liftoff the cover and remove any debris or hair wrap. Check the Debris Intake and clear away any dirt or blockages. To close the cover, push down until it clicks into place, then turn the locks clockwise until closed.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The vacuum is not picking up debris. No suction or light suction. (Refer to Maintenance section for more information.)

• Empty the dust cup and clear the conical metal fluff screen. Check filters to see if they need cleaning. Follow instructions for rinsing and completely air-drying the filters before reinstalling them.
• Check floor nozzle for blockages; clear blockages if required. (See Checking for Blockages instructions).
• Remove any string, carpet fibers, or hair that may be wrapped around the brush roll.
• Ensure the brush roll cover is locked in place. First, turn the nozzle upside down. Using a coin, turn the
  three locks counterclockwise. Push down on both sides of the cover until it clicks securely into place, then turn locks clockwise to close.

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 brush roll. To restart, press the power button on the handle.
  NOTE: During above-floor cleaning, accessories are optimized for different types of debris (See Available Accessories section).

Brushrolls do not spin.

• Sometimes going over thick carpet may cause the brush roll to stop. Try turning off and turning on the vacuum off the carpet to see to restart the floor nozzle.
• If the brush roll indicator light turns solid red or flashes 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 brush roll 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.

The vacuum turns off on its own or the indicator light flashes red.
If your vacuum overheats, the thermostat will automatically turn off the motor. Perform the following steps to restart:

1. Turn the vacuum off and unplug it.
2. Empty dust cup and clean filters (see Emptying the Dust Cup section).
3. Disassemble the entire vacuum.
4. Check for blockages in the wand, floor nozzle, handheld vacuum, inlet openings, and accessories.
5. Reassemble the entire vacuum and ensure all parts click into place.
6. Allow the unit to cool for a minimum of 60 minutes.
7. Plugin vacuum and turn it on.

The vacuum is making a loud noise.
If you run over a hard or sharp object or notice a noise change while vacuuming, check for blockages or objects caught behind the brush roll. (Refer to Maintenance section for more information.)
