Setup and Installation

Proper installation of the replacement filters is crucial for maintaining your vacuum's suction power and air filtration efficiency. Follow these steps to replace your filters:

1. Accessing the Filters

1. Remove Dust Cup: Detach the dust cup from your Shark vacuum cleaner. Refer to your vacuum's original manual for specific instructions on dust cup removal.
2. Locate Pre-Motor Filters: These are typically found at the top of the dust cup assembly. You will find a foam filter and a felt filter.
3. Locate Post-Motor (HEPA) Filter: This filter is usually located at the bottom or rear of the main vacuum body, often behind a cover.

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

1. Remove Old Filters: Carefully lift out the old foam and felt filters from the dust cup. Note their orientation for correct placement of the new filters.
2. Insert New Felt Filter: Place the new felt filter into the designated slot in the dust cup. Ensure it sits flat.
3. Insert New Foam Filter: Place the new foam filter on top of the felt filter. Ensure a snug fit.

2. Remove Old HEPA Filter: Pull out the old HEPA filter.
3. Insert New HEPA Filter: Place the new HEPA filter into the compartment, ensuring it is securely seated. Close the cover until it clicks into place.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning and timely replacement of your filters are essential for optimal vacuum performance and air quality. The Dttery filters are washable and reusable.

• Pre-Motor Filters (Foam & Felt): It is recommended to rinse these filters every 3 months, or more frequently with heavy use. Rinse with cold water until the water runs clear. Allow to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting.
• Post-Motor (HEPA) Filter: It is recommended to rinse this filter once every 12 months, or as needed. Rinse with cold water until the water runs clear. Allow to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting.
• Replacement Frequency: Replace filters every 6-12 months, or when you notice a decrease in suction power or an increase in dust escaping the vacuum.

Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your vacuum after filter replacement, consider the following:

• Reduced Suction: Ensure all filters are correctly installed and completely dry. Check for any blockages in the vacuum hose or brush roll.
• Unusual Odors: This often indicates filters need cleaning or replacement. Ensure filters are thoroughly dry before reinstallation to prevent mildew.
• Dust Escaping: Verify that all filter covers and the dust cup are securely closed and sealed. Check for any tears or damage to the filters.
