Setup & Installation

Before installing new filters, ensure your vacuum cleaner is unplugged and the dust cup is empty. Refer to your vacuum's original manual for specific filter compartment locations if needed.

  1. Access Filters: Locate the filter compartments on your Shark vacuum. Typically, foam and felt filters are located beneath the dust cup, while the HEPA filter is often found in a separate compartment, sometimes at the front or side of the vacuum base.
  2. Remove Old Filters: Carefully remove the old foam, felt, and HEPA filters. Dispose of them properly.
  3. Install New Filters: Insert the new Leadaybetter filters into their respective compartments. Ensure they are seated correctly and securely. The foam filter is usually placed first, followed by the felt filter, and then the HEPA filter in its designated housing.
  4. Reassemble: Close all filter compartments and reattach the dust cup securely before operating the vacuum.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning and timely replacement of your filters are crucial for maintaining your vacuum's performance and extending its lifespan. The filters are washable and reusable.

Cleaning Instructions:

  2. Tap Off Debris: Gently tap the filters over a trash can to remove loose dirt and debris.
  3. Hand Wash: Rinse the filters under running water until the water runs clear. For foam and felt filters, gently squeeze to remove excess water. Do not wring.
  4. Air Dry Completely: Allow all filters to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting them into the vacuum. Do not use a dryer or other heating devices.

Replacement Schedule:
