4. Installation Instructions
Follow these steps to replace the filters in your Shark Navigator Lift-Away vacuum:
- Power Off and Unplug: Always ensure your vacuum cleaner is turned off and unplugged from the power outlet before performing any maintenance.
- Access Filter Compartments: Refer to your Shark vacuum's original manual to locate the foam and felt filter compartment (usually under the dust cup) and the HEPA filter compartment (often at the bottom or rear of the vacuum).
- Remove Old Filters: Carefully remove the used foam, felt, and HEPA filters. Dispose of them responsibly.
- Insert New Filters: Place the new LINNIW foam and felt filters into their designated compartment. Ensure they are seated correctly. Install the new HEPA filter into its compartment, making sure it clicks into place or is securely fitted.
- Reassemble: Close all filter compartments and reattach the dust cup.
- Test: Plug in your vacuum and turn it on to ensure proper operation.
5. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning of your foam and felt filters is essential for maintaining vacuum performance. The HEPA filter is generally not washable and should be replaced as needed.
Cleaning Foam and Felt Filters:
- Remove Filters: Take out the foam and felt filters from their compartment.
- Rinse: Rinse the filters under clean, running water until the water runs clear. Gently squeeze to remove excess water.
- Air Dry: Allow the filters to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting them into the vacuum. Do not use a dryer or heat source, as this can damage the filter material.
- Frequency: For optimal performance, clean foam and felt filters every 3 months, or more frequently with heavy use.
HEPA Filter Replacement:
The HEPA filter is designed for long-term use but should be replaced every 6-12 months, depending on usage, to maintain high filtration efficiency. Do not wash the HEPA filter.
