Shark IZ862HB1 Stratos™ Cordless Vacuum

Charge the battery by plugging the charger into the port on the handheld vacuum. Charging can take up to 3.5 hours.

Check to see which setting you are using. If the unit is difficult to push or pull switch to a lower suction mode, such as ECO mode. The floor select button on the handle allows you to adjust suction power as well as brushroll speed. For thick/high pile carpets use the Carpet setting. Press the floor select button until the Carpet icon illuminates. For area rugs, mats, and specialty carpets, press the floor select button until the Hard Floor icon illuminates.

Store your vacuum securely and out of reach of children or pets. You can fold the wand over for freestanding compact storage. Press the unlock latch on the back of the wand then fold the handheld vacuum forward toward the floor nozzle. Another option is to simply place the vacuum flat on the floor. The rubber pads on the base of the handheld vacuum will prevent scratching.

Filters may need to be cleaned if the vacuum stops picking up dirt.

To clean filters, rinse them with water only. Allow all filters to air-dry completely for up to 48 hours before reinstalling to prevent liquid from being drawn into electric parts.

Clean the pre-motor filters at least once a month and post-motor filter at least once a year. Tap off loose dirt between washes when needed. More frequent cleaning may sometimes be necessary with heavy use.
