Installation Instructions

Follow these steps to replace the filters in your Shark Vertex UltraLight Corded Stick Vacuum. For optimal performance, it is recommended to replace filters every 3-6 months, or as needed based on usage.

1. Locating the Filters

Your Shark vacuum typically has two main filter locations: the pre-motor filters (foam and felt) located in the dust cup, and the post-motor filter located at the base of the vacuum unit.

2. Replacing Pre-Motor Filters (Foam and Felt)

1. Access the Dust Cup: Disconnect the vacuum from power. Remove the dust cup from the vacuum cleaner.
2. Remove Old Filters: Open the dust cup and carefully remove the old foam and felt filters. Dispose of them properly.
3. Insert New Felt Filter: Place the new felt filter into the designated slot in the dust cup. Ensure it sits flat.
4. Insert New Foam Filter: Place the new foam filter on top of the felt filter. Ensure the side labeled "put in first This side up" is facing upwards, as indicated by the tag.

3. Replacing Post-Motor Filter

1. Locate Filter Cover: The post-motor filter is typically located behind a cover on the front or side of the vacuum's main body. Refer to your vacuum's original manual for the exact location.
2. Remove Old Filter: Open the filter cover and carefully pull out the old post-motor filter.
3. Insert New Filter: Place the new Dttery post-motor filter into the compartment. Ensure it fits securely.
4. Close Cover: Close the filter cover until it clicks into place.

4. Reassemble and Test

Reattach the dust cup to the vacuum cleaner. Plug in the vacuum and test its operation. You should notice improved suction and air quality.

Maintenance and Cleaning

The Dttery filters are washable and reusable, extending their lifespan and maintaining vacuum performance.

1. Tap Loose Dirt: Before washing, gently tap the filters over a trash can to remove any loose dirt and debris.
2. Rinse with Water: Rinse the foam and felt filters under running tap water until the water runs clear. For the post-motor filter, rinse the dirty side under tap water until the water runs clear.
3. Air Dry Completely: Allow all filters to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinstalling them. Do not use a hairdryer or other heating methods, as this can damage the filter material. Ensure they are 100% dry to prevent mold and mildew.
4. Regular Cleaning: Clean the pre-motor filters (foam and felt) at least once a month. Clean the post-motor filter at least once every three months.

Important: Do not operate the vacuum with wet filters. This can damage the motor and void your vacuum's warranty.

Troubleshooting

• Reduced Suction: If you experience reduced suction after installing new filters, ensure all filters are correctly seated and dry. Check for any blockages in the vacuum hose or brush roll.
• Unusual Odors: If the vacuum emits unusual odors, it may indicate that the filters need cleaning or replacement. Ensure filters are completely dry before reinstallation.
• Filter Not Fitting: Double-check the compatibility list to ensure you have the correct filters for your specific Shark vacuum model.
