ODOR NEUTRALIZER TECHNOLOGY TIPS

Odor Dial Must be Installed for Vacuum to Function Properly

• Remove odor cartridge from dial if you don't want the benefits of the Odor Neutralization Technology.

Maintenance Required

• Clean all filters as recommended under Cleaning Filters.
• Empty the dust cup before storing your vacuum.
• Replace the cartridge as recommended under Odor Cartridge Replacement.
• Visit qr.sharkclean.com/odortech to learn more and purchase replacements.
• If wet pet messes are cleaned up, thoroughly clean the vacuum.

Fragrance Strength Over Time

• The intensity of the Odor Neutralizer Technology's fragrance may diminish over time. It may also have no noticeable fragrance at all. This is natural and does not indicate the technology isn't working. Follow replacement instructions to ensure continued performance.

NOTES:

• The odor dial needs to be installed for the vacuum to function properly, with or without the odor cartridge.
• Odor Neutralizer Technology effectively deodorizes while interacting with odors from inanimate sources.

MAINTENANCE

NOZZLE MAINTENANCE

SELF-CLEANING BRUSHROLL

If any hair is wrapped around the brushroll, continue vacuuming, using Carpet/Low Pile mode on a bare floor surface, a low-pile carpet, or a small area rug. This will allow the self-cleaning brushroll to remove the hair wrap and send it to the dust cup.

If you run over a hard or sharp object or notice a noise change while vacuuming, check for blockages or objects caught in the brushroll.

If some fibers remain wrapped around the brushroll after continued use, carefully remove them.

CLEANING THE SOFT ROLLER

Slide the Soft Roller access button forward to release the Soft Roller.

Hand wash the Soft Roller as needed. Use only water, and allow it to air-dry completely for at least 24 hours. Reinsert the Soft Roller in the front of the nozzle until it clicks into place.

CORD MAINTENANCE

To minimize the risk of power cord damage, DO NOT run the vacuum over the power cord. If this occurs, immediately shut off power to the vacuum and remove the cord from the brushrolls or nozzle.

1. DO NOT pull or carry vacuum cleaner by the cord or use cord as a handle.
2. D O NOT unplug by pulling on the cord. Grasp the plug, not the cord.
3. DO NOT close the door on the cord.
4. DO NOT pull the cord around sharp corners.
5. DO NOT leave the cord near heated surfaces.

CHECKING FOR BLOCKAGES

Detach dust cup from vacuum pod. Empty dust cup and remove debris from lint screen in the top of the dust cup.

Detach wand from pod and handle, and check both ends for blockages.

Detach hose from handle by pressing on the release button at the top of the hose. Detach the hose from the pod, and check openings for blockages.

Detach handle from wand and hose from the vacuum pod, and check openings for blockages.

Detach wand from floor nozzle, tilt nozzle neck back, and check opening for blockages.

To access the nozzle hose, pinch the release touchpoints on the bottom of the nozzle, then lift the cover and clear any blockages.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Power cord caught in brushrolls or floor nozzle.

• To minimize the risk of power cord damage, DO NOT run the vacuum over the power cord. If this occurs, immediately shut off power to the vacuum and remove the cord from the brushrolls or nozzle.
• Inspect power cord and plug for any damage before use. DO NOT use vacuum cleaner with a damaged cord or plug. Turn off all controls before plugging in or unplugging the vacuum cleaner. Store your vacuum cleaner with the power cord secured around the two cord hooks.

Vacuum is not picking up debris. No suction or light suction.

• Check filters to see if they need cleaning. Follow instructions for rinsing and air-drying the filters before reinstalling them in the vacuum.
• Dust cup may be full; empty dust cup.
• Check handle, hose, hose connections, nozzle, wand, pod, and accessories for blockages. Clear any blockages found.
• If any string, hair, or carpet fibers are wrapped around the PowerFins^® brushroll, carefully cut debris with scissors and remove from brushroll. See Nozzle Maintenance section for more information.

Vacuum lifts area rugs.

• Make sure Power/Surface switch is set to Hard Floor (setting I).
• Ensure the suction control slider on the handle is set to MIN.
• Suction is powerful. Take care when vacuuming area rugs or rugs with delicately sewn edges.

Brushrolls do not spin in carpet cleaning mode.

• If the headlight indicator light turns red, immediately turn off and unplug the vacuum. Remove pod from floor nozzle and clear any blockages. Reconnect nozzle, plug in vacuum, and turn on power.
• With the power on, recline the handle, which will automatically turn on the brushrolls.
• If this problem persists on thick carpets, move the suction control slider to MIN.

Vacuum turns off on its own or headlight indicator lights flash red.

If your vacuum overheats, the thermostat will automatically turn off the motor. Perform the following steps to restart:

1. Turn vacuum off and unplug it.
2. Empty dust cup and clean filters. See Emptying the Dust Cup and Cleaning and Replacing the Filters sections for more information.
3. Check for blockages in hose, wand, floor nozzle, accessories, and inlet openings.
4. Allow unit to cool for a minimum of 60 minutes.
5. Plug in vacuum and turn it on.

Vacuum is emitting air that smells bad.

• Dust cup may be full; empty dust cup. Empty dust cup after each use for optimal Odor Neutralizer Technology performance.
• Check filters to see if they need cleaning. Follow instructions for rinsing and air-drying the filters before reinstalling them.
• Check to make sure odor cartridge is installed in the dial and the dial is installed in the nozzle.
• Check the Odor Neutralizer Technology dial on the nozzle to see what setting is enabled.
• If Odor Neutralizer Technology dial is at any setting from Low to High and the cartridge has been installed for 6 months or longer, consider replacing it.
• If the odor cartridge is still emitting a scent but you dislike it, consider turning the intensity down, or reinstall the dial in the nozzle without the cartridge.
• If the Odor Neutralizer Technology cartridge is not emitting a scent, consider replacing it.
