- USE WARNINGS
This appliance can be used by children ages 8 years and older and persons with reduced physical, or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
Children shall not play with the appliance.
For your robot’s cliff sensors to work properly, all runners, rugs, or carpets must be eight inches from any stairs (or must be continuous and extend over the edge of the stairs). If a runner, rug, or carpet edge that is less than eight inches from the stairs cannot be moved, you must use a digital no-go zone to block off the stairs. For non-app users, use a boundary to block off an unsafe boundary.
To minimize the risk of the robotic vacuum cleaner traveling beyond an unsafe boundary (stair/cliff edges, fireplaces, water hazards), establish these areas as no-go zones using the mapping feature in the SharkClean® mobile app. Upon setting the boundary, run the vacuum and visually confirm that the settings effectively prevent it from passing beyond the set boundary. Adjust settings as necessary.
This product has a Class 1 Laser. It is safe under reasonably foreseeable conditions (as defined in this Owner’s Guide). Always turn off the power before lifting the robotic vacuum cleaner or performing any maintenance on it.
DO NOT look directly into the laser.
Always turn off the robotic vacuum cleaner before inserting or removing the filter or dust bin.
DO NOT handle plug, Self-Empty Base, charging cable, or robotic vacuum cleaner with wet hands. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be done by children without supervision.
DO NOT use without a robot dust bin and filters in place.
DO NOT damage the cord:
- a) DO NOT pull or carry a Self-Empty Base by the cord or use the cord as a handle.
- b) DO NOT unplug by pulling on the cord. Grasp the plug, not the cord.
- c) DO NOT close a door on the cord, pull the cord around sharp corners, or leave the cord near heated surfaces.
DO NOT put any objects into the nozzle or accessory openings. DO NOT use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce airflow.
DO NOT use a robotic vacuum cleaner if airflow is restricted. If the air paths become blocked, turn the vacuum cleaner off and remove all obstructions before turning on the unit again.
Keep the nozzle and all vacuum openings away from hair, face, fingers, uncovered feet, or loose clothing.

DO NOT use any household cleaners (all-purpose cleaners, glass cleaners, bleach) on any of the polished high gloss surfaces on the Self-Empty Base or robotic vacuum cleaner as they contain chemicals that may damage these surfaces. Instead, use a cloth dampened with water to gently clean.
- BATTERY USE
The battery is the power source for the robotic vacuum cleaner. Carefully read and follow all charging instructions.
To prevent unintentional starting, ensure the robotic vacuum cleaner is powered off before picking it up or carrying it.
For Shark® PowerDetect™ Self-Empty XL base replacement, use XDRV2820AE. For Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty Lite base replacement, use XDKRV2800S. For replacement batteries, use the RVBAT85002 battery pack.
Keep the battery away from all metal objects such as paper clips, coins, keys, nails, or screws. Shorting the battery terminals together increases the risk of fire or burns.

LIMITED WARRANTY

ONE (1) YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY

The One (1) Year Limited Warranty applies to purchases made from authorized retailers of SharkNinja Operating LLC. Warranty coverage applies to the original owner and the original product only and is not transferable.
SharkNinja warrants that the unit shall be free from defects in material and workmanship for one (1) year from the date of purchase when it is used under normal household conditions and maintained according to the requirements outlined in the Owner’s Guide, subject to the following conditions and exclusions:

What is covered by this warranty?

The original unit and/or non-wearable components deemed defective, in SharkNinja’s sole discretion, will be repaired or replaced with a new or refurbished unit of the same or equivalent model, up to one year from the original purchase date.
In the event a replacement unit is issued, the warranty coverage ends six (6) months following the receipt date of the replacement unit or the remainder of the existing warranty, whichever is later. SharkNinja reserves the right to replace the unit with one of equal or greater value.

What is not covered by this warranty?

Normal wear and tear of wearable parts (e.g., not cleaning the filters, not removing debris from the brushroll), which require regular maintenance and/or replacement to ensure the proper functioning of your unit, are not covered by this warranty. Replacement parts are available for purchase at sharkaccessories.com.

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 under local ordinances or regulations. In some areas, it is illegal to place spent lithium-ion batteries in the trash or a municipal solid waste stream. Return the spent battery to an authorized recycling center or the retailer for recycling. Contact your local recycling center for information on where to drop off the spent battery.
For more information on battery removal for disposal, please visit sharkclean.com/batterysupport.
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. Help protect our environment and conserve natural resources by returning the spent lithium-ion battery to an authorized SharkNinja service center or your local retailer for recycling. You may also contact your local recycling center for information on where to drop off the spent battery or call 1-800-798-7398.
