CLEANING AND REPLACING THE FILTERS

CLEANING FILTERS

Regularly clean and replace your filters to keep your vacuum's suction power optimal.

To clean filters, rinse with cold water ONLY to prevent damage from cleaning chemicals. Allow all filters to air-dry for at least 24 hours before reinstalling them to prevent liquid from being drawn into electric parts.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT use soap when cleaning the filters.

Pre-Motor (foam and felt) Filters

With the dust cup removed, take out the Foam and Felt Filters. These are located at the top of the dust cup assembly, with the foam filter sitting on top of the felt filter.

CLEAN PRE-MOTOR FILTERS EVERY 3 MONTHS.

Post-Motor (HEPA) Filter

To access the HEPA Filter, press the tab, tilt the Filter Cover, and lift it away from the vacuum. Remove the HEPA Filter. This filter is typically located at the front base of the vacuum pod.

CLEAN HEPA FILTER EVERY YEAR.

REPLACING FILTERS

Follow the previous instructions for removing filters. The pre-motor filters should be replaced every 2.5 years. The post-motor HEPA filter should be replaced every 3 years.

• Replacement Pre-Motor Foam & Felt Filter Kit: XFF80
• Replacement HEPA Filter: XHF80

NOTE: To order replacement parts and filters, visit sharkaccessories.com.

CLEANING THE BRUSHROLL

1. Place the vacuum flat on the floor and turn it over to access the brushroll. The brushroll is located within the floor nozzle.
