RECYCLING THE LI-ION BATTERY

• When the Shark Li-Ion battery needs to be replaced, dispose of it or recycle it in accordance with local ordinances or regulations. In some areas, it is illegal to place spent lithium-ion batteries in the trash or in a municipal solid waste stream. Return spent batteries to an authorized recycling center or to the retailer for recycling. Contact your local recycling center for information on where to drop off the spent battery.

NOTE: The Shark battery, like all lithium-ion batteries, will naturally decrease in capacity over time from the 100% capacity of a new battery.

MAINTAINING YOUR VACUUM

EMPTYING THE DUST CUP

• Press the wand release button to disconnect the handheld vacuum from the wand.

• To empty the Dust Cup while it is attached to the handheld vacuum, position the dust cup over a trash receptacle and slide the CleanTouch™ Lid Release slider forward.

CLEANING THE FILTERS

Regularly rinse and replace the filters to maintain your vacuum’s suction power.

• To clean filters, rinse them with water only. Allow all filters to air-dry completely for at least 24 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.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT use soap when cleaning the filters. Use water only.

• PRE-MOTOR FILTER: Press the dust cup release button and remove the dust cup. Pull the foam and felt filters out of the back of the dust cup.

• POST-MOTOR FILTER: Remove the dust cup. Pull the post-motor filter out of the handheld vacuum.

TROUBLESHOOTING

WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock and unintended operation, turn off power and remove the battery before servicing.

1. Vacuum is not picking up debris. No suction or light suction. Nozzle light is red. (Refer to Checking for Blockages section for more information.)

• Dust cup may be full; empty dust cup.
• Check floor nozzle for blockages; clear blockages if required.
• Remove any string, carpet fibers, or hair that may be wrapped around the brushroll.
• Check connection between handheld vacuum and wand for blockages; clear blockages if required.
• Check clog access in wand for any blockages and clear any debris.
• Check filters to see if they need cleaning. Follow instructions for rinsing and completely air-drying the filters before reinserting in the vacuum.

2. Vacuum lifts area rugs.

• Make sure you are not engaging Boost mode. Take care when vacuuming area rugs or rugs with delicately sewn edges.
• Turn off the unit to disengage the brushroll and restart with the power/selector switch.

3. Brushroll does not spin.

• Immediately turn off the vacuum. Remove any blockages before turning the vacuum back on. Make sure the handheld vacuum is tilted back far enough for the brushroll to engage while in use.
• If the floor nozzle has headlights and they are not illuminated, there is a connection issue between the handheld vacuum, wand, and nozzle. Try disconnecting and reattaching the pieces.

4. Vacuum turns off on its own.

There are several possible reasons for the vacuum turning off on its own, including blockages, battery issues, and overheating. If vacuum turns off on its own, perform the following steps:

1. Turn on the vacuum and check the battery indicator lights located on the handheld vacuum. If recharging is needed, plug in while the power/selector switch is in the off position.
2. Empty dust cup and clean filters (See Emptying the Dust Cup and Cleaning the Filters sections).
3. Check wand, accessories, and inlet openings and remove any blockages.
4. Allow unit and battery to cool for at least 45 minutes, until they return to room temperature.
5. Restart with power/selector switch.

NOTE: If vacuum still does not operate properly, contact Customer Service at 1-800-798-7398.

5. Battery Indicator Lights on handheld vacuum are flashing.

• Bottom LED light is flashing (Fig. A): Battery needs to be charged.
• Top and bottom LED lights are flashing (Fig. B): Battery temperature is not optimal, so charging is temporarily paused. Leave battery plugged in and charging will resume soon.
• If top 2 or bottom 2 LED lights are flashing (Fig. C, Fig. D), call Customer Service at 1-800-798-7398.
