MAINTENANCE
CLEANING AND REPLACING THE BASE FILTERS
Regularly clean and replace your filters to keep your vacuum's suction power optimal.
To clean filters, rinse with cold water ONLY to prevent damage from cleaning chemicals. Allow all filters to
air-dry for at least 24 hours before reinstalling them to prevent liquid from being drawn into electric parts.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use soap when cleaning the filters.
CLEAN PRE-MOTOR FILTERS ONCE A MONTH
To open the filter housing lid, hold the top right edge
of the base and pull up on the lid. With the lid open,
remove the foam filter by the top handle, then lift out
the felt filter underneath. Tap the filters clean over the
trash, then rinse them with cold water ONLY, as soap
may damage them. Allow filters to air-dry completely
before reinstalling them.
NOTE: The pre-motor foam and felt filters should be replaced every 2.5 years. The post-motor filter should be replaced every 3 years.
NOTE: Clean the mesh filter inside the dust bin with a small brush once a month.

SELF-CLEANING BRUSHROLL
The Self-Cleaning Brushroll removes debris over time as it cleans. If some debris remains wrapped around
the brushroll, continue cleaning to allow the brushroll to remove it.
If some debris remains on the brushroll after continued cleaning, follow the steps below to remove it.
To access the brushroll, push up on the tabs on the
brushroll access door, then lift off the door.
NOTE: When cutting away debris, be sure not to cut the brushroll.
NOTE: Replace brushroll every 6 to 12 months, or when visibly worn. See sharkaccessories.com for replacement parts.
Lift out the brushroll. Clean off any debris. Reinstall
the brushroll, inserting the flat end first. Close the
brushroll access door and press down until both
sides click into place.
