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 outlet or try to modify to fit.
WARNING: To Reduce the Risk of Fire, Electric Shock or Injury:
General Warnings
- 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
- DO NOT allow the appliance to be used by children. Close supervision is necessary when used near children. This is not a toy.
- 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:
- DO NOT pull or carry vacuum cleaner by the cord or use the cord as a handle.
- DO NOT unplug by pulling on cord. Grasp the plug, not the cord.
- 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.
Save These Instructions
Read all instructions before use.
- 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.
- 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:
- Liquids
- Large objects
- Hard or sharp objects (glass, nails, screws, or coins)
- Large quantities of dust (drywall dust, fireplace ash, or embers). DO NOT use as an attachment to power tools for dust collection.
- Smoking or burning objects (hot coals, cigarette butts, or matches)
- Flammable or combustible materials (lighter fluid, gasoline, or kerosene)
- Toxic materials (chlorine bleach, ammonia, or drain cleaner)
- DO NOT use in the following areas:
- Poorly lit areas
- Wet or damp surfaces
- Outdoor areas
- 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.

Troubleshooting Guide
Vacuum is not picking up debris. No suction or light suction.
- Check filters to see if they need cleaning. Follow instructions for rinsing and drying the filters before reinserting in the vacuum.
- Dust cup may be full; empty dust cup.
- Check hose, hose connections, nozzle, and accessories for blockages; clear blockages if required.
- Remove any string, carpet fibers, or hair that may be wrapped around the brushrolls.
Vacuum lifts area rugs.
- Turn off unit to disengage the brushrolls. Move switch to Hard Floor setting to turn on the slow brushrolls, which is optimal for bare floors and area rugs.
- Suction is powerful. Take care when vacuuming area rugs or rugs with delicately sewn edges.
Brushroll/Soft Roller does not spin.
- If Brushroll Indicator Light on the floor nozzle turns red, the brushroll and/or Soft Roller have stopped spinning. Immediately turn off and unplug vacuum. Disconnect the nozzle and remove blockage, then reconnect and turn vacuum back on.
- With the power on, recline the handle, which will automatically turn on the brushrolls.
Vacuum turns off on its own or Brushroll Indicator Light flashes red.
- This vacuum is equipped with a motor-protective thermostat. If your vacuum overheats, the thermostat will automatically turn the suction motor off. Perform the following steps to restart the thermostat:
- Turn vacuum off and unplug it.
- Empty dust cup and clean filters (see Maintenance section).
- Check for blockages in hose, accessories, and inlet openings.
- Allow unit to cool for a minimum of 45 minutes.
- Plug in vacuum and turn it on.
- If hose is not fully connected to the pod, it can cause a poor electrical connection and the hose can come loose, turning the vacuum off.
- Turn vacuum off and unplug it.
- Empty dust cup and clean filters.
- Check for blockages in hose, accessories, and inlet openings.
- Remove cord from cord hook so hose latch can be seen and engaged.
- Ensure you hear an audible click at all connection points:
- Where hose meets back of pod (may require additional force; pull on hose to ensure latch is fully engaged)
- Where wand plugs into floor nozzle
- Where handle plugs into wand
- Plug in vacuum and turn it on.
Note: If vacuum still does not start, contact Customer Service at 1-800-798-7398.
