Getting Started
Note: The Quick Guide shows the select accessories that are included with your model. Accessory type and quantity may vary depending on the model.
Illustrations may differ from actual product. Specifications are subject to change without notice.
Using the Shark IQ Robot®
Manual Cleaning Mode
To manually start a cleaning cycle, press the Clean button on the robot or on the mobile app.
To stop the robot before it finishes cleaning and automatically returns to the dock, press the Dock button.
Note: Charge the robot completely before its first cleaning. It may take up to 6 hours to fully charge.
Note: Avoid picking up or moving the robot or dock. If relocated, the robot may not follow its cleaning path or find its way back to the dock. If picked up or moved, return it to within 6 inches of its last location.
Emptying the Dust Bin
Empty debris and dust into trash. Make sure to insert the dust bin completely until it clicks into place.
Look between the filter and plastic shield and make sure there is no debris buildup. Remove shield and clear any debris buildup as needed with a dry cloth or soft brush.
Cleaning and Replacing the Filter
For optimal suction power, regularly clean and replace the filter inside the robot's dust bin.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use water when cleaning the filter.
Lightly tap the filter to remove dust and debris. Pull filter out of the dust bin by the tabs. Reinsert the filter into the dust bin, then slide the dust bin back into the robot.
Note: Make sure to insert the dust bin completely, until it clicks into place.
Cleaning Side Brushes
Clean side brushes as needed. Carefully unwind and remove any string or hair wrapped around brushes. Gently wipe brushes with a dry cloth. To reinstall, snap the brushes over the pegs. Spin the brushes manually to make sure they are installed correctly.
Note: Remove and replace any side brushes that are bent or damaged. To remove a brush, lift it off its peg.
Cleaning the Wheels
Clean the wheel housing periodically. To clean, rotate each drive wheel while dusting. Periodically clean the drive wheels and the housing around them.
Self-Cleaning Brushroll
The Self-Cleaning Brushroll actively removes hair wrap while your robot cleans. If some debris remains wrapped around the brushroll, continue cleaning to allow the brushroll to clean itself.
To access the brushroll, push up on the tabs on the brushroll access door, then lift off the door. Lift out the brushroll. Clean off any debris from the brush roll. Reinstall the brushroll, inserting the flat end first. Close the brushroll access door and press down until both sides click into place.
Note: Replace brushroll every 6 to 12 months, or when visibly worn.
Note: When cutting away debris, be sure not to cut the brushroll.
Cleaning Sensors and Charging Pads
Clean sensors and charging pads as needed. With a dry cloth, gently dust off the sensors and pads located on the bottom of the robot and on the dock.
IMPORTANT: The robot uses cliff sensors to avoid stairs and other steep drops. Sensors may work less effectively when they are dirty. For best results, clean sensors regularly.
