BEFORE YOU CLEAN

Your robot will need to complete an Explore Run without the fluid reservoir attached to create a map of your home.
During the Explore Run, your robot will roam around your home as it creates a map.
After this run, you can create Carpet Zones in the app to keep the robot away from carpets and rugs while mopping. If you do not want to set up Carpet Zones, or do not have carpets or rugs in your home, you can skip this step.
Now you’re ready to clean.

HOW TO SET UP MOPPING MODE

To put your robot in mopping mode, fill the fluid reservoir, attach the pad, and install the reservoir into the back of the robot. In this mode, your robot will vacuum and mop simultaneously.

ATTACH MOPPING PAD

• Insert the flat edge of the pad through the slot in the fluid reservoir.
• Secure the pad to the back of the reservoir.

ADD WATER AND FLOOR CLEANER TO RESERVOIR

• Add water through the fill port to the water line, then add cleaning solution up to the line marked VACMOP™ Floor Cleaner.

INSERT FLUID RESERVOIR INTO ROBOT

• Firmly push the fluid reservoir into the back of the robot. (Do not remove the dust bin.)
• When properly inserted, the fluid reservoir will click securely into place.
• Your robot is ready to simultaneously vacuum and mop your hard floors.

REMOVE MOP ACCESSORIES AFTER USE

• Press the release button at the fill port and slide out the fluid reservoir.
• Pour all remaining liquid out of the reservoir.
• Remove the pad and follow the care instructions on the back of the pad.

GETTING THWE MHAOST TT OO EUXT OPECF YTOUR ROBOT

To get the best experience, download the SharkClean® app and follow the tips below.

PREP YOUR HOME

• Before each clean, clear cords and remove small objects like clothing or toys that are less than 3.5” tall.
• Open interior doors in rooms you want your robot to clean.

SCHEDULING AND INTERACTIVE MAP

• For a constant state of clean, set up a whole-home cleaning schedule in the app.
• Use the interactive home map for an even more customizable clean.

CARPET AVOIDANCE

When your home map is set up, you can use the app to identify carpets and rugs so the robot can avoid them when it mops. If rugs are blocking your robot’s path to another room in mopping mode, you may need to move them.

NO-GO ZONES

Create no-go zones in the app to keep your robot out of the areas you would like it to avoid:

• Near power cords or phone chargers.
• In front of high thresholds.

AVOID MOVING THE ROBOT OR DOCK

While your robot is cleaning, do not pick it up and move it, or move the charging dock—this will impact the robot’s ability to map your home.

EMPTYING THE DUST BIN

During the first few weeks of use, the dust bin will need to be emptied more frequently, as the robot cleans areas that were previously hard to reach. Empty debris and dust into trash. Remove any debris between the filter and the plastic shield.

General Questions

How do I prep my home for cleaning?

1. Open interior doors in rooms you want your robot to clean.
2. Remove obstacles such as cords and other small items that are less
than 4.5 inches tall.
3. When mopping with Carpet Zones in your robot map, you may need to
move carpets and rugs if they are blocking your robot from accessing
another room.

How do I create a map of my home and what is an Explore run?

To clean efficiently, your robot needs to learn the layout of your home. During its first run, called the Explore Run, your robot will create a map of your home.

To start an Explore Run, make sure the robot is paired with the app, then follow the instructions on the app. (The app is set to automatically start an Explore Run after the robot is paired.) The Explore Run takes about 20 to 30 minutes to complete, based on the size of your home. Once complete, your robot will return to the dock and the app will display a map of your home. If the map accurately represents the layout of your home, select Approve to save the map.

How do I keep my robot from getting stuck in tight spaces, under furniture or on rug corners?

You can create no-go zones in the SharkClean app to block off problem areas.

Should I do anything if I recently moved large pieces of furniture around in my home, moved the robot’s dock, or if the robot isn’t cleaning all the areas I expect it to?

For the best cleaning performance, you should delete the robots map in the app and re-explore your home to increase the map accuracy.

Can I map multiple floors?

No.

Will my robot fall downstairs?

Your robot’s cliff sensors will prevent it from falling off ledges. For the cliff sensors to work properly in any mode, all runners, rugs, or carpets must be at least 8 inches from any stairs/steps. If needed, creating a no-go zone via the app will help create parameters.

Can my robot clean at night, in the dark?

Yes. Shark AI Laser Vision is not dependent on ambient lighting and can navigate your home at night or in low lighting conditions.

How do I turn off or quiet the voice on my robot?

Your robot is equipped with voice recordings to assist you with any troubleshooting you may need to perform. If you would like to turn off the voice feature, you may do so in the app.
1. Go to the menu in the top left corner of your home screen on the SharkClean app.
2. Select Settings.
3. Select your robot.
4. Select notification volume. You can lower or raise the volume. Or, to completely turn it off, turn the volume to “0”.

How do I charge my robot?

• Make sure the base has power.
• Place the robot on the base so that two metal pads on the bottom of the robot touches the metal contacts on the charging base. When the robot is placed correctly, it will begin to charge
Note:  Wait 5 seconds (or longer if the battery is depleted) to readjust the position of the robot on the base as it may take time for the robot to indicate it is charging. If your robot is still not charging, use a clean dry cloth to wipe clean the sensors and the charging pads on the bottom of the robot and the base and try again.

How long will my robot clean before needing to recharge, and how long does it take to charge?

A typical cleaning cycle lasts about an hour. (This varies depending on the cleaning mode you are using and the floor type of your home). Your robot can take up to six hours to fully charge from an empty battery.

How do I send my robot back to its base?

Press the base button on your robot or in the SharkClean® app and your robot will navigate back to the base if the location of the base is saved on the map.

NOTE: Do not pick up your robot if it is running. Place your robot on the base if it has low charge or no charge (one flashing red battery indicator or no indicator lights).

Mopping Questions

In mop mode, will my robot vacuum and mop at the same time?

Yes.

Which chemical solution can my robot use to mop the floor?

Use ONLY water or use a mixture of water and Shark VACMOP surface cleaner for the best and safest results.

How do I know if the Fluid Reservoir is attached properly and my robot is ready to mop?

When the Fluid Reservoir is properly attached, the “DOCK” LED on the top of the robot will flash blue briefly. As well, hearing an audible click and visually ensuring the top of dust bin is flush with the robot’s diameter means it is properly attached.

Will my robot avoid carpets and rugs while mopping?

This can be done through setting up carpet verification in the SharkClean app.
To set up Carpet Verification, make sure to follow these steps in the app:
1. Your robot must complete an Explore Run without the fluid reservoir attached.
2. When your robot returns to the base, you can review the map in the app. If you are satisfied with the map, you can add carpet zones.
3. After you set up carpet zones, you can run Carpet Verification to verify whether the robot is honoring the carpet zones you manually placed. If you’d like to update the map at any time, you can delete the map and have the robot redo an Explore Run. The app will then ask if you want to send your robot on a Carpet Verification Run.
4. After the Carpet Verification Run, you can confirm or edit the carpet zones on the interactive map in the app.

How do ensure my robot maintains optimal traction on the floor?

1. Flip the robot and grab a damp towel
2. Wipe down the caster wheels and the motorized wheels completely, turning the wheels to ensure all surfaces are cleaned.
3. As well, rinse and drain the Fluid reservoir with tap water 2-3 times.
4. Put on a new mopping pad and fill the tank with only water for increased wet traction.
5. Verify the floors of your home are completely dry before beginning a new mopping session.
