3. Installation

Follow these steps to replace the filters in your Shark Vertex DuoClean Upright Vacuum AZ1810:

1. Disconnect the vacuum from the power source.
2. Remove the dust cup from the vacuum cleaner.
3. Locate and remove the old foam and felt filters from their compartments.
4. Insert the new felt filter first, ensuring the pull tab is facing upwards for easy removal later.
5. Place the new foam filter on top of the felt filter.
6. If your model includes a HEPA filter, locate its compartment (typically at the bottom of the dust cup or vacuum base), remove the old HEPA filter, and insert the new one.
7. Reattach the dust cup and ensure all components are securely in place before operating the vacuum.

4. Maintenance

To ensure your vacuum operates at peak performance and to prolong the life of your filters, regular cleaning and timely replacement are recommended:

• Cleaning: The foam and felt filters can be rinsed with clean water. After rinsing, allow them to air dry completely before reinstallation. Do not use a washing machine or dryer.
• Frequency: It is recommended to clean the filters monthly and replace them every 2-3 months, or more frequently depending on usage and household conditions (e.g., presence of pets, high dust levels).
