Maintenance & Emptying

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance.

Empty the Dust Cup: Hold the vacuum over a trash bin. Press the NEVERTOUCH foot pedal to open the bottom gate and release dirt. Close the gate securely.
Clean the Filters:
- Pre-motor foam filter: Rinse with cold water every month. Air dry for 24+ hours completely before reinstalling.
- Post-motor felt filter: Tap gently to remove dust every month. Do not wash.
Check the Brushroll: Periodically remove any debris (e.g., strings, cords) wrapped around the ends of the brushroll. The self-cleaning feature reduces but may not eliminate all wraps.
Clear Blockages: If suction power drops, check the wand, hose, and air pathways for clogs.

WARNING! Always turn off and remove the battery before performing any maintenance. Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembly and use.

Battery & Charging

The removable battery charges on the dock or can be charged separately.

For charging: Place the vacuum on the dock or insert the battery into the dock's side port. The indicator will pulse during charging and become solid when full.
Maximizing Battery Life: Store and charge in a cool, dry place. Avoid fully depleting the battery regularly; recharge when the indicator shows one red LED.
Battery Removal: Press the release button on the battery and slide it out of the compartment.

CAUTION! Use only the Shark-approved charger and battery. Do not expose battery to fire, extreme heat, or puncture.

Care & Storage

Store the vacuum in a dry place, preferably on its charging dock to keep the battery charged.

Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not immerse any part of the vacuum in water or use abrasive cleaners.

CAUTION! Do not store with a fully depleted battery for extended periods. Store indoors in a temperature-controlled environment.
