GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SHARK IQ ROBOT

DOCK SETUP

NOTE: Select a permanent location for the Charging Dock, because every time you relocate it, your robot will be required to completely re-map your house.
NOTE: For best results, set up on bare floor or thin carpet.
NOTE: Do not place dock against baseboards, heating elements, or in direct sunlight.

Choose a level surface in a central area. Remove any objects that are closer than 3 feet from either side of the dock, or closer than 5 feet from the front of the dock. Place the dock with its back against the wall. Plug the cord into an outlet. The indicator light on the dock will illuminate green when the dock has power. The dock must be plugged in continuously for the robot to find it.

INSTALLING THE SIDE BRUSHES

Snap the 2 included Side Brushes onto the square pegs on the bottom of the robot.

PREP YOUR HOME

Your robot uses an array of sensors to navigate around walls, furniture legs, and other obstacles while it cleans. To prevent the robot from bumping into objects or navigating to areas you don’t want it to, use the included BotBoundary® strips. For best results, prepare your home as indicated below, and schedule a daily cleaning to ensure all floor areas are regularly maintained.

NOTE: Scheduling is one of many features that are only available in the app.

OBSTRUCTIONS
Clear cords and small objects from floors and open interior doors to ensure complete coverage of your home.

SCHEDULING
For a constant state of clean, set up a cleaning schedule in the app.

THRESHOLDS
Your robot may have trouble clearing some thresholds higher than 7/8ths of an inch. Block off high thresholds with the included Bot Boundary® strips.

AVOID MOVING THE ROBOT & DOCK
While your robot is cleaning, do not pick it up and move it to a different room, or move the charging dock—this will impact the robot’s navigation

STAIRS
Your robot’s cliff sensors will prevent it from falling off ledges. For the cliff sensors to work properly, all runners, rugs, or carpets must be at least 8 inches from any stairs (or extend over the edge of the stairs.)

USING THE SHARK IQ ROBOT®

MANUAL CLEANING MODE
To manually start a cleaning cycle, press the Clean button on the robot or on the mobile app. To stop the robot before it finishes cleaning and automatically returns to the dock, press the Dock button.

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning an entire room for the first time, we recommend that you first test your robot on a small section of the floor to ensure there is no scratching.

BOTBOUNDARY STRIPS

USAGE INSTRUCTIONS

1. You can cut BotBoundary strips to shorten them as needed. (18-inch minimum)
   
   If cutting a strip, make sure it’s still long enough to cover the entire area you need to block off. Gaps may cause BotBoundary strips to malfunction.

2. Make sure each BotBoundary strip lies completely flat against the floor, with no overlapping.
   NOTE: DO NOT place BotBoundary strips on top of one another.

3. For best results, place the strips between fixed objects like furniture legs or door frames, or make a closed loop around an obstacle.

PREPPING YOUR HOME USING BOTBOUNDARY STRIPS

Use the BotBoundary strips to quickly and easily create no-go zones to keep your robot out of the areas you would like it to avoid. These may include:

• Near power cords
• In front of thresholds higher than 7/8ths of an inch

BATTERY REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL
This product uses a battery. When the battery no longer holds a charge, it should be removed from the vacuum and recycled. DO NOT incinerate or compost the battery.
When your lithium-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 battery to an authorized recycling center or to retailer for recycling. Contact your local recycling center for information on where  to drop off the spent battery.

The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) seal on the lithium ion battery indicates that the costs to recycle the battery at the end of its useful life have already been paid by SharkNinja. In some areas, it is illegal to place spent lithium-ion batteries in the trash or municipal solid waste stream and the RBRC program provides an environmentally conscious alternative.
RBRC, in cooperation with SharkNinja and other battery users, has established programs in the United States and Canada to facilitate the collection of spent lithium-ion batteries.
