INSTRUCTIONS
MICROFIBRE PAD
1Slip two of the tabs between the suction nozzle and the duster base and attach them to the front fasteners on the base. Then pull the other two tabs tightly around
to the back fasteners on the base. For best results, ensure that the pad is flat against the bottom surface and secured tightly.
2Use the Dust-Away™to clean dry bare floor surfaces. Do not use to clean damp floors or wet/sticky messes. Only use pads provided by Shark®, which are designed
to work with the Dust-Away™attachment.
3 Wash the pads separately with warm water either in the washing machine or by hand using liquid detergent.
Do not use bleach or fabric softeners as they may damage or leave a coating that will reduce the cleaning performance of the pads.
Tumble dry low or line dry to extend the life of the microfibre fabric.
For best floor cleaning results, we recommend replacing your microfibre pads every 3-4 months following normal use.
RECOMMENDED USE
This accessory picks up pet hair and debris on stairs, upholstery, tabletops, bookshelves, car interiors, etc.
The rotating plate allows for cleaning on both horizontal (1) and vertical (2) flat surfaces.
MAINTENANCE

CHECK FOR BLOCKAGES
REMOVE AND INSPECT:
HANDHELD AND TUBE
5Remove the tube from the handheld portion and check all dust cup intake openings. Remove the floor nozzle from the tube and check the tube for blockages.
BOTTOM OF FLOOR NOZZLE
6Use a coin to unlock the 3 locks on the bottom of the floor nozzle. A portion of the base is removable to allow for better access to the brush roll and exposure to the
airway. Shine a torch from the bottom to check for possible blockage in the airway .
7Remove any string, carpet fibres or hair that may be wrapped around the brush roll. There is a groove on the brush bar that allows a pair of scissors to cut across it
to loosen up the debris.
EMPTY THE DUST CUP
1Detach the handheld portion from the rest of the vacuum by pressing the coloured button on the top of the tube to pull it away from the handheld portion.
2Holding the dust cup over a refuse bag or can, press the release button on the front of the dust cup. The bottom lid will open, allowing the debris to fall out.
3Clean the dust screen inside the dust cup as required.
CLEAN THE FILTERS
See cleaning schedule on page 2
4Access the filters by lifting the latch on the top of the handheld portion of the vacuum. Remove and rinse the foam and felt filters every month. Let air dry
completely before replacing. Hand wash only. Tap loose dirt off filters between washes as needed. Insert the felt filter first and then place the foam filter on
top of it.
MAINTENANCE
Vacuum is not picking up dirt. No suction or light suction.
• Check filters to see if they need cleaning. Follow instructions for rinsing and drying the filters before re-inserting back into the vacuum.
• Dust cup may be full; empty dust cup.
• Check tube, tube connections, nozzles and accessories for blockages; clear blockages if required.
Vacuum lifts area rugs
• Suction is powerful. Take care when vacuuming area rugs or rugs with delicately sewn edges.
• Turn off the unit to disengage the brush roll and restart with the POWER button.

to the “O” position and unplug the unit. After about 30 minutes, your vacuum should be ready to operate again. Plug in the power cord and turn the unit on to begin
vacuuming again.
