Proper Care of Your Shark
®
Upright Vacuum
1 Cleaning the Cyclonic Chamber:
Option A: Quick Empty
Press the Cyclonic Chamber release button at the top of the Dust Cup Assembly
and lift open the Dust Cup lid.
Remove the Cyclonic Chamber from the Dust Cup Assembly.
Insert the Cyclonic Chamber deep inside trash receptacle to contain dust.
Press the Cyclonic Chamber Release Button to open and remove the bottom door.
Tap clean the open Cyclonic Chamber to release dust and then attach and close
bottom door.
Important: Be careful not to damage the metal screen on the bottom of the
Cyclonic Chamber when emptying. Tearing or changing the shape of this screen
may disrupt the advanced cyclonic action and decrease the performance of
your Dust Cup – requiring more frequent emptying of the Cyclonic Chamber.
Return Cyclonic Chamber to Dust Cup Assembly and close Dust Cup lid.
DO NOT operate your vacuum without the Cyclonic Chamber in place.
Doing so would require more frequent washing of the foam filers, and could
decrease the life of your vacuum.
Option B: Allergy Sufferers
Carry the Dust Cup Assembly and a trash bag outside of your home.
Follow the instructions above for Option A, but instead of inserting Cyclonic
Chamber into a trash receptacle wrap the trash bag around the Cyclonic Chamber.
2 Washing the Foam and Felt Filters:
Remove the Foam and the Felt Filters from the Filter Holder.
Rinse in lukewarm water until the water runs clear.
Squeeze filters and let air dry for 24 hours before replacing; do not use hair
dryer or other heating methods to dry. Insert the included replacement filters
while others are drying.
DO NOT operate the vacuum without ALL the filters in place.
DO NOT operate the vacuum with WET filters.
Note: Your 2 white foams and other filters will discolor over time; this is normal
and will not affect the performance of the filters.
Note: It is NOT recommended to rinse the woven exhaust filter located on the front
of the unit. This filter will continue to last the lifetime of your vacuum.
