3. Operating Instructions

3.1 SmartPath Navigation

The Shark Navigator uses SmartPath Navigation with LiDAR technology to create a detailed map of your home. This allows it to clean in an efficient, row-by-row pattern, ensuring maximum coverage and avoiding random bouncing.

3.2 App Control

The SharkClean app provides comprehensive control over your robot vacuum:

• Schedule Cleanings: Set up recurring cleaning schedules for specific times and days.
• Target Specific Rooms/Zones: Direct the robot to clean individual rooms or custom zones on your home map.
• No-Go Zones: Define areas the robot should avoid.
• Cleaning Modes: Adjust suction power (e.g., Quiet, Standard, Turbo, Max) based on your cleaning needs.
• View Cleaning History: Access reports of past cleaning sessions and maps.

3.3 Voice Control

Connect your Shark Navigator to voice assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant for convenient hands-free operation. Use voice commands to start, stop, or send the robot back to its base.

3.4 Recharge & Resume

If the robot's battery runs low during a cleaning cycle, it will automatically return to its Self-Empty Base to recharge. Once sufficiently charged, it will resume cleaning from where it left off to complete the job.

3.5 Object Detection

The robot is equipped with sensors that allow it to detect and avoid objects in its path. This reduces the need to tidy up your home before each cleaning session, as the robot adapts to its environment.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Self-Empty Base

The Self-Empty Base automatically empties the robot's dustbin after each cleaning cycle. The base's large capacity can hold up to 60 days of dirt and debris, minimizing the frequency of manual emptying.

4.2 Self-Cleaning Brushroll

The self-cleaning brushroll is designed to prevent hair wrap, making it ideal for homes with pets. Regularly inspect the brushroll for any tangled hair or debris and remove as needed.

4.3 Dust Bin and Filter Cleaning

Although the base is self-emptying, it is recommended to periodically check and clean the robot's internal dust bin and pre-motor filter to maintain optimal suction. Tap out loose dirt and rinse the filter with water if necessary, ensuring it is completely dry before reinserting.

4.4 Side Brush Replacement

Inspect the side brush regularly for wear or damage. Replace the side brush if bristles are worn or missing to ensure effective edge cleaning.

5. Troubleshooting

5.1 Robot Not Cleaning

• Ensure the robot is fully charged.
• Check for any obstructions around the brushroll or wheels.
• Verify that the dust bin is properly installed.
• Confirm that no-go zones are not preventing cleaning in desired areas.

5.2 App Connectivity Issues

• Ensure your home Wi-Fi network is active and the robot is within range.
• Restart your Wi-Fi router and the robot vacuum.
• Follow the in-app instructions for re-pairing the device if necessary.

5.3 Robot Getting Stuck

• Remove loose cables, small rugs, or other items that may entangle the robot.
• Define no-go zones in the app for problematic areas.
