ASSEMBLING THE CHARGING BASE

Insert the charge adapter plug through the hole in the underside of the charging base / wall mounting bracket.
Turn the charge adapter plug one quarter turn to secure it into place.

CHARGING YOUR HAND VACUUM

Plug the charger into the wall outlet. Place the unit in the charging base. The charging indicator light will illuminate to show that the vacuum is being charged.
Before first using the hand vacuum, make sure that the On/Off switch is in the "Off" position and charge until the indicator light turns OFF, max. 6 hours.
After the initial charge, discharge the battery fully and charge until the indicator light turns OFF, max. 6 hours.

MAXIMIZING THE LIFE OF YOUR NI-MH BATTERY

Do not store the unit with the charging adapter attached and plugged in.
Do not store in areas of high temperature or humidity.
Use only the charger supplied with the product. If other chargers are used, the batteries can fail causing damage to the battery, product or personal property.
After 3 months of non-use, the product should be fully discharged and then recharged to maximize battery power.
If the product has never been used or has been stored for an extended period of time without use - it will take several complete charge and discharge cycles to realize the full operational time of your product.
Ni-MH batteries have a long useful life but at some time they will need to be replaced. To purchase replacement batteries, visit www.sharkclean.com.

ASSEMBLY OF THE HAND VACUUM

The dust cup filter must always be in place when operating the hand vacuum.

Push the dust cup release button and remove the dust cup.
Verify that the dust cup filter is inside, then reattach the dust cup to the hand vacuum.
The motorized brush can be used to vacuum short pile carpets or rugs. To attach the motorized brush, make sure the On/Off switch is in the Off position. Then firmly insert the motorized brush into the air-intake nozzle, ensuring that the contact pins are engaged in the connector slots of the unit.

Do not touch the motorized brush while it is in motion.

The crevice tool can be used to clean narrow, hard to reach places. The dusting brush is used for the furniture, venetian blinds, books, lamp shades and shelves. Attach the desired attachment by pushing it into the air-intake nozzle.

USING THE CORDLESS VACUUM

The air-intake nozzle and attachments must be free of obstructions at all times, otherwise the motor will overheat and could become damaged.

To start the vacuum, push the "On/Off" switch to the "On" position.
To turn the vacuum "Off", push the "On/Off" switch to the "Off" position.

CHANGING & CLEANING THE DUST CUP FILTER

NOTE: It is recommended that the dust cup filter be replaced every 6 - 9 months to ensure peak performance of the vacuum. See PARTS section for information on ordering replacement filters.

Press the dust cup release button and pull out the dust cup.
Carefully remove the dust cup filter and empty the dust from the dust cup.
Rinse the dust cup filter in cold water and let it dry completely before replacing back into the dust cup.
Do not wash it in a washing machine or use a hair dryer to dry it. Air dry only!

CHARGING BASE / WALL MOUNTING BRACKET

If you wish to mount the charging base onto a wall, make sure that the intended wall area that is to be drilled is free from any hidden electrical wires, water pipes and gas lines.
Select an appropriate place that is close to an electrical outlet. Do not mount near direct sunlight, near a heat source or outdoors.
Select an appropriate drill type for the material to be drilled.
Carefully measure and mark the location of all bracket holes and then drill holes and screw the charging base / wall mounting bracket onto the wall. (Screws not included.)

BATTERY PACK REPLACEMENT & DISPOSAL

The cordless hand vacuum is powered by Ni-MH batteries, which must be recycled or disposed of properly in accordance with state, federal and local laws. If uncertain as to how to remove the battery pack, we suggest that you take your hand vacuum to a reputable small appliance service technician to have this service performed. Do not attempt to replace the batteries used in this product with any other type of battery. Follow these steps when replacement of the battery pack is required:

Using a #1 Phillips head screwdriver, remove the single screw securing the battery compartment cover located underneath the unit.
To remove the cover, lift up the battery compartment cover. Never open the battery compartment except to replace the battery pack. Set the cover and the screw aside.
Slide the battery strap over and lift it out.
Carefully lift out the battery pack and disconnect the terminals.
Connect the terminals to the battery pack taking care to connect the black lead (-) to the negative connector first and the red lead (+) to the positive connector second.
Insert the new battery inside the battery compartment.
Take care to tuck the wiring completely in so that the wiring does not interfere with the battery compartment cover when it is replaced.
Replace the battery strap, the battery compartment cover and the screw making sure not to over-tighten the screw.

Never use ordinary batteries for replacement as these may leak and damage your vacuum cleaner. Use only the battery pack XB780N provided by EURO-PRO Operating LLC for replacement. Call customer service at 1 (800) 798-7398 or visit our web site at www.sharkclean.com to order replacement battery packs.
