Dust Cup Emptying (Manual)

Regularly clean the filters to maintain optimal suction. The vacuum uses a HEPA filter. Refer to the specific instructions in the full manual for filter removal, washing, and drying procedures. Ensure filters are completely dry before reinserting.
Brush-roll Maintenance

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Shark Detect Pro vacuum, refer to the following common solutions:
- No Power: Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check if the power button is pressed firmly.

- Brush-roll Not Spinning: Clear any obstructions from the brush-roll. Ensure the floor nozzle is properly connected to the wand.
- Self-Empty System Not Working: Check if the vacuum is correctly docked on the base. Ensure the base's dust bin is not full.
