• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.

• Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run appliance over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.
• Turn off all controls before unplugging.
• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
• Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids, such as gasoline, or use in areas where they may be present.

What's in the Box

Your Shark Rocket Ultra-Lightweight Corded Stick Vacuum includes the following components:

• Main Vacuum Unit (Handheld)
• Extension Wand
• Motorized Floor Nozzle
• Crevice Tool
• Dusting Brush
• Pet/Upholstery Tool

Setup

Assembling the Stick Vacuum

1. Insert the extension wand into the motorized floor nozzle until it clicks securely into place.
2. Insert the handheld vacuum unit onto the top of the extension wand until it clicks securely into place.
3. Ensure all connections are firm before use.

Attaching Accessories

To attach any accessory (crevice tool, dusting brush, pet/upholstery tool), simply insert it directly into the nozzle of the handheld vacuum unit or the end of the extension wand until it fits snugly.

Operating Instructions

Powering On/Off and Mode Selection

Plug the power cord into a 120V electrical outlet. The vacuum features fingertip controls on the handheld unit for easy operation:

• 'O' (Off): Turns the vacuum off.
• 'I' (Hard Floor): Provides gentle suction and brush-roll speed for bare floors and delicate area rugs.
• 'II' (Carpet): Provides powerful suction and a faster brush-roll speed for deep cleaning carpets.

Using as a Stick Vacuum

For floor cleaning, ensure the extension wand and motorized floor nozzle are attached. Select the appropriate floor setting using the fingertip controls. The swivel steering allows for easy maneuvering around furniture and obstacles.

Converting to Handheld Vacuum

To convert to a handheld vacuum, press the wand release button located near the top of the extension wand. This detaches the handheld unit, allowing you to attach accessories directly for above-floor cleaning, such as upholstery, stairs, or car interiors.

Extended Reach Cleaning

For high-reach areas, keep the extension wand attached to the handheld unit and remove the floor nozzle. Attach a suitable accessory, such as the crevice tool or dusting brush, to the end of the wand for cleaning ceilings, fan blades, or curtain tops.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance of your Shark Rocket vacuum.

Emptying the Dust Cup

Empty the dust cup after each use or when debris reaches the MAX FILL line. To empty, hold the handheld unit over a trash bin and press the dust cup release latch. The bottom flap will open, allowing debris to fall out. Close the flap securely until it clicks.

Cleaning Filters

The Shark Rocket HV300C uses washable foam and felt filters. For optimal suction, rinse filters every 3 months or as needed. Allow filters to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinstalling. Do not operate the vacuum without filters in place.

Cleaning the Brush-roll

Periodically check the brush-roll for any hair, string, or debris that may be wrapped around it. Use scissors to carefully cut away any entangled material. Ensure the brush-roll is clear for effective cleaning.

Storage

The Shark Rocket HV300C offers two convenient storage options:

• Compact Storage: Detach the handheld unit and store it separately, or hang the entire unit on a wall mount (if included or purchased separately).
• Upright Storage: The vacuum can stand upright when the handheld unit is attached to the wand and the floor nozzle is engaged.
