Setup
1. Base Placement
Place the NeverTouch Pro Base on a hard, level surface against a wall, ensuring there is at least 3 feet of clear space in front of the base and 1.5 feet on either side. Plug the base into a power outlet.
2. Initial Charge
Place the robot onto the base. Ensure the charging contacts align. The robot will begin charging. Allow for a full charge before first use, which may take several hours.
3. Fill Water Tank
Open the water tank on the NeverTouch Pro Base and fill it with the provided Shark Multi-Surface Cleaner solution and water according to the instructions on the cleaner bottle. This tank automatically refills the robot's water reservoir for mopping.
4. Install Mopping Pad
Attach a clean mopping pad to the robot. The robot will automatically pick up and drop off the mopping pad as needed during cleaning cycles.
5. App Setup
Download the SharkClean app on your smartphone. Follow the in-app instructions to connect your robot to your home Wi-Fi network. The app allows you to set schedules, define no-go zones, and initiate targeted cleaning.
Operating Instructions
Your Shark PowerDetect NeverTouch Pro robot is designed for hands-free cleaning, combining powerful vacuuming with effective mopping.
Automatic Cleaning
Once set up, the robot can perform scheduled cleanings or be started on demand via the SharkClean app or the button on the robot. It utilizes 5 Intelligent PowerDetect Cleaning Technologies to adapt to different cleaning needs.

PowerDetect Technologies
The robot intelligently detects and reacts to different cleaning scenarios:
- DirtDetect: Identifies areas with higher debris concentration and automatically boosts vacuuming performance.
- StainDetect: Targets areas with more stains, increasing mopping performance with multiple cleaning passes.
- EdgeDetect: When vacuuming, it blasts air to push debris from edges into the cleaning path. When mopping, it extends the pad up to an inch for edge-to-edge cleaning.

NeverStuck Technology
This technology allows the robot to navigate your home effectively:
- The robot lifts itself over obstacles and across thresholds to ensure comprehensive coverage.
- When mopping, it automatically lifts the pad above carpets to prevent wet messes.

Navigation and Obstacle Avoidance
Equipped with an advanced 3D sensor and 360° LiDAR, the robot detects and avoids obstacles and furniture, adapting to changes in your home environment.

Maintenance
The NeverTouch Pro Base significantly reduces manual maintenance:
- Self-Emptying: The robot automatically empties debris into the base's bin, which has a 60-day capacity.
- Self-Refill: The base automatically refills the robot's water tank for up to 30 days of mopping.
- Self-Clean Pad Wash & Dry: After each cleaning cycle, the base washes and dries the mopping pad, providing up to 30 days of hands-free maintenance.

Odor Neutralizer Cartridge
Replace the Odor Neutralizer Cartridge as needed to maintain freshness in your home.
Filter Maintenance
The robot uses a cartridge filter. Refer to the SharkClean app or product documentation for instructions on when and how to clean or replace the filter.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your robot, consider the following common solutions:
- Robot not charging: Ensure the base is plugged in and the robot's charging contacts are clean and properly aligned with the base.
- Poor cleaning performance: Check if the dust bin is full, the mopping pad is clean, or if the brushes are tangled. Clean sensors and brushes as necessary.
- Robot getting stuck: Clear obstacles from the robot's path. Ensure the NeverStuck Technology is functioning by checking for debris around the wheels.
- Short battery life: Ensure the robot is fully charged before each cleaning cycle. Battery life can vary based on floor type and cleaning mode.
- App connectivity issues: Verify your Wi-Fi connection and ensure the robot is within range. Restart both the robot and your router if necessary.
For persistent issues, consult the SharkClean app's help section or contact Shark customer support.
