SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
ABOUT THE SHARK ION™ ROBOT
With Smart Sensor Technology , your robot uses an array of sensors to navigate around walls, furniture legs, and other obstacles while it cleans. The robot may gently bump into obstructions or linger in one spot, and it may not cover every area in a single cleaning. For best results, prepare your home as indicated below, and schedule a daily cleaning to ensure all floor areas are regularly maintained.
CORDS AND OBSTRUCTIONS
Before cleaning, clear away cords and other obstructions or block off the area
with BotBoundaryTM strips.
DOORWAY THRESHOLDS
Your robot may not be able to clear some high thresholds. Block off high
thresholds with BotBoundary strips.
LOW-CLEARANCE FURNITURE
To prevent your robot from becoming trapped, use furniture risers or
BotBoundary strips.
RETURNING TO DOCK
Make sure the dock is set up as shown. If your robot roams too far, it could
have trouble finding the dock. It may be helpful to block off part of your
home with BotBooundary strips or to add a second dock (Not supplied).
PREPARING FOR USE
INSTALLING THE SIDE BRUSHES
Snap the 2 included Side brushes onto the square pegs on the bottom of the robot.
CHARGING DOCK SET-UP
Place the charging dock on a level surface with its back against a wall, in a space without obstructions, that can easily be accessed by your robot. Remove any objects that are closer than 3 feet (1 meter) from either side of the dock, or closer than 5 feet (1.52 meters) from the front of the dock. Plug the Charging Adapter into a wall outlet. The dock must be plugged in continually for the robot to find it. The robot will beep when it starts charging on the dock.
CHARGING THE SHARK ION” ROBOT
CHARGING
IMPORTANT: The Shark ION Robot has a pre-installed rechargeable battery.
The battery must be fully charged before use.
To charge, the Power button on the side of the robot must be in the ON position (I).
When the cleaning cycle is complete, or if the battery is running low, the robot will search for the dock. If your robot doesn’t return to the dock, its charge may have run out.
If the robot has no charge and cannot return to the charging dock, place it on the dock manually.
NOTE: When manually placing the robot on the dock, make sure the Charging Contacts on the bottom of the robot are aligned with the dock by leaving a gap of half an inch between the dock face and the front of the robot. To ensure the robot is docked correctly, refer to the Charge Indicator Lights section.
CHARGE INDICATOR LIGHTS
The blue charge indicator lights show how much charge is remaining. While the
robot is charging, all three blue LED lights will cycle. When charging is
complete, all three blue lights will illuminate steadily. If the robot is idle
and away from the charging dock for 10 minutes, it will enter Sleep Mode, and
the lights will turn off.
If all the indicator lights are off, then the robot is in Sleep Mode, the
power switch is turned OFF (0) or there is no charge remaining. Turn the power
switch ON (I). Press any button to ensure the robot is not in Sleep Mode. If
all indicator lights remain off, there is no charge. Place the robot on the
dock, leaving a half-inch space between the front of the robot and the face of
the dock. When the robot is docked correctly and begins to charge, it will
beep and the charge indicator lights will cycle.
NOTE: If the low charge light is blinking red, there is not enough charge for the robot to return to the dock. Manually place the robot on the dock, leaving a half-inch space between the front of the robot and the face of the dock.
TIP: To preserve battery life, turn off the power switch if the robot will not be used for a long period of time. The unit should be recharged at least once every three months.
USING THE SHARK ION”‘ 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 button again.

BotBoundary ™ strips (Sold separately)
To keep your robot away from certain areas, such as pet bowls, fragile
objects, power strips, or doorways, use BotBoundary strips to quickly and
easily create “no-go zones”.
Identify areas or objects you want the robot to avoid.
Cut BotBoundary strip to the desired length so that it spans the length of the doorway or object you want to block off.
Generally, BotBoundary strips are not needed on stairs because your robot’s
cliff sensors will prevent it from falling off ledges. For your robot’s cliff
sensors to work properly, all runners, rugs, carpets, or carpets must be at
least 4 inches from any stairs (or extend over the edge of the stairs.)
If a runner, rug, or carpet edge is less than 4 inches from the stairs and
can’t be moved, use a BotBoundary strip to block off the stairs.
For best results, make sure your BotBoundary strip is completely flat against the floor. Make a closed loop around an object, or place the strips between fixed objects, like door frames or the legs of a couch, to create no-go zones.
NOTE: To prevent bumping, place strips at least 2 inches in front of the
object you want to block off.
Note: The BotBoundary strips are not supplied. Sold separately.
CAUTION: Turn off power before performing any maintenance.
EMPTYING THE DUST BIN
EMPTY DUST BIN AFTER EACH USE.
Press the Dust Bin Release Button and slide out the dust bin.
To open the dust bin lid. Press and hold the button while lifting the lid, using the finger slots.
Empty debris and dust into trash.
CLEANING THE FILTER
CLEAN FILTER EVERY WEEK. REPLACE FILTER EVERY TWO MONTHS.
Remove and empty the dust bin. Clean any hair or debris off the Antl-Tangle Comb on the back of the dust bin.
Pull the filter out of the dust bin by the tabs.
Lightly tap the filter to remove dust and debris.
Reinsert the filter into the dust bin. Slide the dust bin back into the robot.
CLEANING THE BRUSH ROLL
THE BRUSH ROLL NEEDS OCCASIONAL MAINTENANCE.
REPLACE BRUSH ROLL EVERY 6 TO 12 MONTHS, OR WHEN VISIBLY WORN.
Push up on the tabs on the brush roll access door, then lift off the door.
Lift out the brush roll.
Remove the blue cap on the end of the brush roll. Do not let the metal cylinder inside the cap fall out. Clean off any hair or debris, then replace cap. Clean the brush roll periodically and whenever hair appears.
Reinstall the brush roll, inserting the flat end first. Close the brush roll access door and press down until it clicks into place.
NOTE: If the metal cylinder falls out of the brush roll cap, reinsert it in the hole on the inside of the cap. When cutting away debris, be sure not to cut the brush roll or any other parts of the robot.
CLEANING SENSORS AND CHARGING PADS
CLEAN SENSORS AND CHARGING PADS PERIODICALLY AS NEEDED. With a dry cloth or cleaning brush, gently dust off the sensors and pads located on the bottom of the robot.
IMPORTANT: The robot uses cliff sensors to avoid s airs and other steep drops. Sensors may work less effectively when they are dirty. For best results, clean sensors regularly.
CLEANING SIDE BRUSHES
CLEAN SIDE BRUSHES AS NEEDED. CHECK WEEKLY. RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT SCHEDULE: Replace when visibly worn.
Carefully unwind and remove any string or hair wrapped around brushes. Gently wipe brushes with a damp cloth. Be sure to let them air-dry completely before reinstalling them.
