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 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

• 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.

• 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.

USING YOUR VACUUM IN LIFT-AWAY® MODE

NOTE: Use the handle on top of the dust cup to lift and carry the vacuum SUCTION CONTROL COLLAR Due to the huge suction power of this vacuum, it may become necessary at times to adjust the suction control collar on the handle. If the vacuum seems difficult to push or pull, if it is lifting up area rugs, or if you are cleaning  delicate above-floor surfaces such as drapes, reduce the suction by rotating the collar counterclockwise. Rotate the collar clockwise to increase suction for vacuuming floors and when using the Air-Driven Pet Brush.

1. Detach the portable Lift-Away pod from the floor nozzle by pressing the red release button on the side of the pod. Gently step on the nozzle while lifting off the pod.
2. To clean above-floor areas with the handle, detach it from the wand by pressing the Handle Release button. To clean with a longer reach, detach the extension wand from the pod by pressing the wand release button.

STORAGE

NOTE: 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. Allow all filters to airdry for at least 24 hours before reinstalling them to prevent liquid from being drawn into electric parts. IMPORTANT: DO NOT use soap when cleaning the filters RECOMMENDED CLEANING SCHEDULE: Dust Cup Empty after each time you vacuum. Pre-Motor Filter Kit XFF350 (Foam & Felt) Clean every 3 months. Post-Motor Filter XHF350 (HEPA) Clean every 2 years.

2. Hold the dust cup over a trash receptacle and press the bottom door release button. Tap gently to empty contents. Press the door shut again until it clicks.
3. If needed, turn the dust cup upside down over the trash receptacle and press the top-door release button. Tap gently to remove contents. Use a dry cloth or paper towel to remove debris stuck to the screen inside the dust cup. Press the door shut again until it clicks.
4. Replace the dust cup on top of the pod. Hook the two latches onto the tabs on the sides of the dust cup and push down to lock.

CLEANING THE PRE-MOTOR FILTERS

6. Replace the dust cup

NOTE: DO NOT put the filter in the washing machine or dishwasher. NOTE: The material in the filter will discolor over time. This is normal, and will not affect the performance of the filter. WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock and unintended operation, turn off power and unplug the power cord before performing any maintenance. NOTE: DO NOT use soap when cleaning the filters. Hand wash filters only with water to prevent damage from cleaning chemicals. Allow ALL filters to air-dry completely before replacing them in the vacuum to prevent liquid from being drawn into electric parts. DO NOT use a hair dryer or other heating methods to dry.

CLEANING THE POST-MOTOR HEPA FILTER

1. Remove the filter cover from the front of the vacuum by pulling up on the tab and pulling the cover away from the vacuum. Take out the HEPA filter by pulling it straight out.
2. Turn the filter over so that the dirty side is on the bottom and vigorously tap it clean against a garbage can to remove any dust.
3. Hold the filter under the tap with the dirty side facing down. Rinse with lukewarm water until the water runs clear. Allow filter to air-dry for 24 hours
4. Once the HEPA filter is dry, reinstall it.

CLEANING THE AIR-DRIVEN PET BRUSH

1. Slide the locking latch forward and gently tilt brush housing upward to remove.
2. Carefully remove any blockages or debris and use scissors to cut away any buildup of hair or string around the rotating bristle brush.
3. To reassemble, insert the tabs on the front edge of the bottom cover into the matching holes in the top half and tilt it back down until it clicks into place.

CLEANING THE MOTORIZED FLOOR NOZZLE

To clean the floor nozzle, first turn off the vacuum and unplug it. Detach the pod from the floor nozzle and remove any blockages. Clear away debris, and remove any fibers or hair wrapped around the brushroll. Reconnect the nozzle, plug in the vacuum, and turn on the power. TIP: Make sure you are working in a well-lit area and use a flashlight to help search for blockages.

CHECKING FOR BLOCKAGES

Blockages may cause your vacuum to overheat and shut down. To prevent this from happening, check potential blockage areas after heavy use, or if you detect a loss of suction or poor cleaning performance.

1. Detach the stretch hose from the back of the portable Lift-Away® pod by squeezing the tabs together and pulling up. Check the hose and pod openings for blockages.
2. Remove the dust cup and extension wand and separate the portable Lift-Away pod from the motorized floor nozzle. Check all openings for any blockages.
3. Detach the hose on the motorized floor nozzle at the top by squeezing the tabs together and pulling out, and at the bottom by pulling out the connector. Check all openings for any blockages.
