Operating Instructions
Powering On/Off
Press the power button located on the main unit to turn the vacuum cleaner on or off.
Cleaning Modes
The vacuum features iQ Technology, which automatically adjusts suction power and brush rotation speed based on the amount of dust detected by the iQ sensor. Manual modes are also available:
- Boost Mode: Provides maximum suction for large debris or when quick cleaning is desired.
- Eco Mode: Reduces noise and conserves battery, suitable for households with sound-sensitive pets or children, or for nighttime cleaning.

- Hybrid Power Clean Head: Shark's unique head designed to remove large debris and debris along walls, preventing hair and pet fur from tangling.
- Mini Motor Head: Ideal for upholstery and pet hair.
- Futon Nozzle: Specialized for cleaning futons and mattresses.
- Pet Multi Nozzle: Versatile tool for pet-related messes.

Maintenance
Automatic Dust Collection
When the vacuum is placed on the Automatic Dust Collection Dock, it automatically empties the dust cup into the dock's larger dust bin. This reduces the frequency of manual dust disposal to approximately once a month, depending on usage and environment.

Manual Dust Cup Emptying (Handheld)
For the handheld unit, press the release button to open the dust cup and empty debris directly into a waste bin. This is a one-touch operation for convenience.

Filter Cleaning
Regularly clean the filters to maintain optimal suction performance. Refer to the full instruction manual for detailed steps on removing and cleaning the filters. Ensure filters are completely dry before reinserting.
Brush Roll Maintenance
Periodically check the brush roll for tangled hair or debris. The Hybrid Power Clean head is designed to minimize tangles, but occasional inspection and cleaning may be necessary. Remove any obstructions carefully.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Vacuum does not turn on | Battery not charged or improperly inserted. | Ensure battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. |
