WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, injury, or property damage:
GENERAL WARNINGS
When using an electrical appliance,
basic precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
- 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.
USE WARNINGS - 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. Failure to do so
will also void the warranty. - 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 fibers.
WARNING - 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
vapors (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,
fibers, 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.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
