Setup

1. Unboxing and Placement: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Place the NeverTouch Pro Base on a hard, level surface against a wall, ensuring there is adequate clear space around it for the robot to dock and maneuver. Refer to the quick start guide for specific clearance requirements.
2. Robot Preparation: Attach the side brushes to the bottom of the robot by pressing them onto the posts until they click into place. Install a mopping pad onto the robot's mopping module.
3. Power Connection: Plug the base into a power outlet. The robot will automatically charge when docked.
4. App Setup and Initial Mapping: Download the SharkClean app on your smartphone. Follow the in-app instructions to connect your robot to your home Wi-Fi network. The app will guide you through the initial mapping process, where the robot creates a detailed map of your home. Ensure all obstacles are cleared during this first mapping run for optimal results.
5. Fill Water Tank: Fill the water tank on the NeverTouch Pro Base with water and the provided Shark Multi-Surface Cleaner solution according to the instructions on the cleaner bottle.

Operating Instructions

Cleaning Modes

• Vacuum Mode: For dry debris removal on all floor types.
• Mop Mode: For wet cleaning of hard floors. The robot will lift its pad over carpets to prevent wetting.
• Vacuum & Mop Combo: Performs both vacuuming and mopping in a single cleaning cycle.

Smart Features and Technologies

The RV2820ZE model incorporates several intelligent technologies to enhance cleaning performance:

• PowerDetect Technologies: Five distinct technologies work together to optimize cleaning.
• DirtDetect: Identifies areas with concentrated debris and automatically boosts vacuuming power.
• StainDetect: Targets areas with stains, increasing mopping intensity with multiple passes.
• EdgeDetect: Blasts air to dislodge debris from edges during vacuuming and extends the mopping pad for edge-to-edge mopping.
• FloorDetect: Automatically detects floor types to optimize cleaning settings and avoid mopping carpets.
• NeverStuck Technology: Enables the robot to lift itself over obstacles and thresholds, and lifts the mopping pad over carpets to prevent wet messes.
• Object Detect: Advanced 3D sensors and 360° LiDAR allow the robot to detect and avoid obstacles and furniture.
• Precision Home Mapping: Utilizes 360° LiDAR for accurate and detailed mapping of your home, day or night.

Maintenance

The Shark PowerDetect NeverTouch Pro system is designed for hands-free maintenance, but regular checks are recommended to ensure optimal performance.

NeverTouch Pro Base Features

• Self-Empty: The robot automatically empties debris into the bagless base after each vacuum run, holding up to 60 days of debris capacity.
• Self-Refill: The base automatically refills the robot's water tank for mopping, providing up to 30 days of water capacity.
• Self-Clean Pad Wash & Dry: After every mopping cycle, the base washes and dries the mopping pad, ensuring it's clean and ready for the next use, offering up to 30 days of maintenance-free pad cleaning.
• Automatic Pad Drop: The robot intelligently picks up and drops off the mopping pad from the base as needed for seamless cleaning transitions.
• Odor Neutralizer Technology: Integrated cartridges protect against odors to keep your home fresh.
• Anti-Allergen Complete Seal: The bagless base captures and traps 99.97% of dust and allergens (down to 0.3 microns).

General Maintenance Tips

• Regularly check and clean the robot's brushes, wheels, and sensors to prevent debris buildup.
• Inspect the filter (cloth type) periodically. While the base is self-emptying, the filter may require occasional cleaning or replacement.
• Ensure the water tank in the base is filled with the appropriate cleaning solution.
• Keep the area around the base clear to allow for proper docking and self-maintenance functions.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Shark PowerDetect NeverTouch Pro, consider the following common solutions:

• Robot Not Cleaning: Ensure the robot is fully charged and docked correctly. Check the SharkClean app for any error messages or notifications.
• Robot Getting Stuck: Clear any small obstacles, loose cables, or thick rugs that might impede the robot's movement. The NeverStuck Technology helps, but extreme conditions can still cause issues.
• Poor Cleaning Performance: Clean the main brush roll, side brushes, and sensors. Ensure the dust bin in the base is not overfilled and the water tank has sufficient solution.
• App Connectivity Issues: Verify your home Wi-Fi network is active and the robot is within range. Restart both the robot and your router if necessary.
• Mopping Pad Not Cleaning Effectively: Ensure the mopping pad is correctly attached and the self-clean function is operating. Replace worn-out mopping pads as needed.
• Filter Replacement: The internal filter is a cloth type and will require replacement over time. Check the SharkClean app or the product's support website for replacement schedules and parts.

For persistent issues, consult the SharkClean app's help section or contact Shark customer support.
