General questions:

How is the Shark DuoClean Lift-Away Speed different from traditional vacuums?

The Shark DuoClean Lift-Away Speed is a lightweight, compact upright vacuum with the power and versatility to clean all surfaces.

DuoClean technology picks up large, small, and fine debris from carpets and bare floors. With Lift-Away technology you can convert the upright vacuum to a lightweight pod to easily clean stairs, furniture, ceilings, and other above- floor areas. Enhanced swivel steering offers the ultimate maneuverability experience.

Anti-Allergen Complete Seal Technology traps over 99.9% of dust and allergens inside the vacuum, keeping them out of the air you breathe.*

The brushroll garage opens easily, giving you quick access to your brushrolls for convenient maintenance.

*Based on ASTM F1977 of particles between 0.3 microns and larger.

General questions about maintenance:

How do I clean the filters and how often?

For optimal performance, clean the filters regularly. Between cleanings, lightly tap filters over a trash bin to remove any loose/excess dust and other particles.

Pre-Motor Foam & Felt Filters: under normal usage, rinse and let air-dry completely for 24 hours every 3 months or as needed. With the dust cup removed, take out the donut-shaped filter assembly from the top of the motor housing. Remove the foam and felt filters and rinse with water until the water runs clear. Let filters air-dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinstalling. Do not clean filters in the dishwasher or washing machine. To replace once dry, put the felt filter in the vacuum first, then add the foam filter.

Post-Motor HEPA filter: under normal usage, rinse and air-dry completely every 12 months or as needed. To access the HEPA filter, reach under the grill, pull the latch forward, and pull the grill away from the vacuum. Remove and rinse with water with the dirty side face-down until the water runs clear. Let filter air-dry completely for 24 hours before reinstalling. Replace the cover by lining up the tabs and closing the cover, pressing down until it clicks into place.

How do I empty the dust cup and how often?

To remove the dust cup, slide up the buttons on both sides of the handle. Tilt the dust cup, then lift to remove.

To empty debris, press lower release button and bottom of dust cup will drop open.

To remove collected debris from Lint Screen, press top release button and lift handle to open. Gently brush lint screen to clean.

To reinstall, place the bottom of the dust cup into the pod and then tilt until it clicks into place.

How do I maintain the brushroll?

Brushroll:

To open the brushroll garage, slide both release buttons on the floor nozzle away from you, toward the back of the nozzle, then lift off the lid. Clear away any objects or debris. To close the brushroll garage, insert the 3 tabs on top of lid into the 3 slots in the nozzle, then push down on both sides of the lid until it clicks securely into place.

Softroller:

With the garage door off, lift it out by the pull tab and tap off any loose debris. Use a dry towel to wipe the Soft Roller clean, or to remove any debris caught in the teeth behind it.

Hand wash the Soft Roller as needed. Use only water, and let air-dry completely for at least 24 hours. Reinsert the Soft Roller under the rubber bumper in the front of the nozzle until it clicks into place.
