TROUBLESHOOTING AND FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We recommend using this air purifier in Auto Mode. Auto Mode leverages your air purifier's
particle sensor, and this adjusts the fan speed automatically. Higher fan speeds work best
for reducing odors and capturing debris most effectively.
We recommend setting up the air purifier in the room of your home where there is the most
activity. This will help to clear the air of pollutants and odors as they are introduced.
After 100% clean air is achieved for 5 minutes in Auto Mode, your air purifier will enter Eco
Mode. The fan will turn off until a significant number of particles are detected, optimizing
your HEPA filter's life.

If your air purifier displays a blue ring, your air quality is good. However, air quality will
fluctuate as you introduce pollutants into your home. Activities like smoking, cooking, dusting,
or spraying cleaning products (among other things) can add pollutants to your air. Our Clean
Sense IQ™ technology tracks this fluctuation in real time and adjusts as it detects particles.
To determine if the sensor is working correctly, spray perfume or aerosol cleaning product
near the sensor on the back of the air purifier. Please visit sharkclean.com/support for more
information.
If your air quality never reaches 100%, make sure that the HEPA filter is properly installed and
that its original plastic packaging has been removed. Activities like smoking, burning candles,
running a humidifier, opening windows, and cooking (among other things) can add more
pollutants to your air. Make sure to survey your environment and remove anything that could
be causing low air quality.
These easy-to-clean mesh dust filters capture large debris like hair, dust, and lint to protect
the 3-layer HEPA filter. Maintenance is required on these mesh dust filters when indicated on
the front display. Refer to the Mesh Dust Filter Maintenance section for more information.
When the mesh dust filters need maintenance, the front display will show a
pulsing red ring along with the text "check dust filters." Refer to the Mesh Dust Filter
Maintenance section for more information.
No, the HEPA filter is not washable. Keep filter away from water and dispose of it when it is dirty.
