To prevent damage from cleaning chemicals, rinse filters with cold water only. Do not use soap. Allow all filters to air-dry for at least 24 hours before reinstalling them to prevent liquid from being drawn into electronic parts.

Pull out the filter housing, then lift out the Felt Filter by the pull tab. Next, remove the Foam Filter.

HEPA FILTER
The HEPA Filter should be rinsed every 6 months. To remove the HEPA filter, detach the dust cup, then pull the Filter Release tab on the handheld vacuum filter cover. Remove the cover, then squeeze the side tabs on the HEPA filter and lift it out. After the filter has been rinsed and is completely dry, reinsert it into the handheld vacuum, then reattach the filter cover.

  • Disconnect the wand from the floor nozzle and clear any blockages.
  • Reconnect the wand, plug in the vacuum, and turn on the power.

  5. Reassemble the entire vacuum to ensure all parts click into place.
  6. Allow unit to cool for a minimum of 45 minutes.
  7. Plug in vacuum and turn it on.

Vacuum is making a loud noise.
If you run over a hard or sharp object or notice a noise change while vacuuming, check for blockages or objects caught behind the brush-roll. (Refer to Maintenance section for more information.)

Vacuum is emitting air that smells bad.

  • Dust cup may be full; empty dust cup. Empty dust cup after each use for optimal Anti-Odour Technology performance.
  • Check filters to see if they need cleaning. Follow instructions for rinsing and air-drying the filters before reinstalling them.
  • Check to make sure Anti-Odour Technology cartridge is installed in the dial and the dial is installed in the floorhead.
  • Check the Anti-Odour Technology dial on the floorhead to see what setting is enabled.
  • If Anti-Odour Technology dial is at any setting from Low to High and the cartridge has been installed for 6 months or longer, consider replacing it.
  • If the Anti-Odour Technology cartridge is still emitting a scent but you dislike it, consider turning the intensity down, or reinstall the dial in the floorhead without the cartridge.
  • If the Anti-Odour Technology cartridge is not emitting a scent, consider replacing it.

Shark® does not design products to last for a limited time. We do appreciate that there may be a desire for our customers to want to repair their vacuum cleaners after the guarantee has lapsed. In this case please contact our Freephone customer service help line and ask about our out of guarantee program, on 0800 862 0453.

Where can I buy genuine Shark® spares and accessories?
Shark® spares and accessories are developed by the same engineers who developed your Shark® vacuum. You’ll find a full range of Shark® spares and replacement parts/accessories for all Shark® machines at sharkclean.co.uk.
Please remember that damage caused by use of non-Shark spares is not covered under your guarantee.
