Shark-AZ3900-Series- Powerdetect-Upright-Vacuum -With-DuoClean- (12)

ANTI-ODOUR TECHNOLOGY

  • Shark-AZ3900-Series- Powerdetect-Upright-Vacuum -With-DuoClean- (13)Flip up the dial handle and rotate the odour dial to adjust Odour Neutraliser Technology intensity or to unlock the dial for cartridge access.
  • Insertion/Removal: Rotate the odour dial to align the teal arrows. Remove the dial to access the odour cartridge for removal or replacement.
  • Low: Rotate the dial toward the Low position to decrease the intensity to the lowest level when the vacuum is in use.
  • High: Rotate the dial toward the High position for the highest intensity level when the vacuum is in use. This position is the recommended setting for optimal performance.

ANTI-ODOUR TECHNOLOGY TIPS

Odour Dial Must be Installed for Vacuum to Function Properly Remove odour cartridge from dial if you don’t want the benefits of Odour Neutraliser Technology.

Maintenance Required

  • Clean all filters as recommended under Cleaning Filters.
  • Empty the dust cup before storing your vacuum.
  • Replace the cartridge as recommended under odour cartridge replacement.
  • Visit sharkclean.co.uk to learn more and purchase replacements.

Fragrance Strength Over Time

  • The intensity of the Odour Neutraliser Technology’s fragrance may diminish over time. It may also have no noticeable fragrance at all. This is natural and does not indicate the technology isn’t working. Follow replacement instructions to ensure continued performance.

NOTES: • The odour dial needs to be installed for the vacuum to function properly, with or without the odour cartridge. Anti-Odour Technology effectively deodourises while interacting with odours from inanimate sources.

ODOUR CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT

  1. Shark-AZ3900-Series- Powerdetect-Upright-Vacuum -With-DuoClean- (14)Flip up the handle and rotate the dial clockwise until the two teal arrows are aligned. Pull the handle to remove the dial from the nozzle.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Power cord caught in brushroll or floor nozzle.

  • To minimize the risk of power cord damage, DO NOT run the vacuum over the power cord. If this occurs, immediately shut off power to the vacuum and remove the cord from the brushroll or nozzle.
  • Inspect power cord and plug for any damage before use. DO NOT use vacuum cleaner with a damaged cord or plug. Turn off all controls before plugging in or unplugging the vacuum cleaner. Store your vacuum cleaner with the power cord secured around the two cord hooks.

Vacuum is not picking up debris. No suction or light suction.

  • Check filters to see if they need cleaning. Follow instructions for rinsing and air-drying the filters before reinstalling them.
  • Dust cup may be full; empty dust cup.
  • Check hose, hose connections, nozzle, wand, pod, and accessories for blockages. Clear any blockages found. See Checking for Blockages section for more information.
  • If any hair, string, or carpet fibers are wrapped around the brushroll, extend cleaning time to allow the self-cleaning brush roll to remove them. If some hair or fibers remain wrapped around brush roll after continued use, carefully remove them. See Cleaning the Brushroll section for more information.

Vacuum lifts area rugs.

  • Make sure the touchscreen selector on the handle switch is set to the Thick Carpet/Area Rug setting.
  • Suction is powerful. Take care when vacuuming area rugs or rugs with delicately sewn edges.

DirtDetect Indicator light not responding.

  • Make sure the touchscreen selector on the handle switch is set to Detect Mode. The DirtDetect Indicator will be off in manual surface modes.
  • Check sensors located in nozzle inlet to see if there are any blockages (See Detect Sensor Maintenance section for more information.).
  • Remove any blockages and clean sensors.

Brushrolls do not spin.

  • If the headlight indicator lights turn red, immediately turn off and unplug the vacuum. Remove pod and wand from floor nozzle and clear any blockages. Reconnect nozzle, plug in vacuum, and turn on power.
  • With the power on, recline the handle, which will automatically turn on the brush rolls.
Vacuum turns off on its own or headlight indicator light flashes red. 
If your vacuum overheats, the thermostat will automatically turn off the motor. Perform the following steps to restart:
  1. Turn vacuum off and unplug it.
  2. Empty dust cup and clean filters. See Emptying the Dust Cup and Cleaning and Replacing the Filters sections for more information.
  3. Check for blockages in hose, wand, floor nozzle, accessories, and inlet openings.
  4. Allow unit to cool for a minimum of 60 minutes.
  5. Plug in vacuum and turn it on.

Vacuum is emitting air that smells bad.

  • Dust cup may be full; empty dust cup. Empty dust cup after each use for optimal Odour Neutraliser Technology performance.
  • Check filters to see if they need cleaning. Follow instructions for rinsing and air-drying the filters before reinstalling them.
  • Check to make sure odour cartridge is installed in the dial and the dial is installed in the nozzle.
  • Check the Odour Neutraliser Technology dial on the nozzle to see what setting is enabled.
  • If Odour Neutraliser Technology dial is at any setting from Low to High and the cartridge has been installed for 6 months or longer, consider replacing it.
  • If the odour cartridge is still emitting a scent but you dislike it, consider turning the intensity down, or reinstall the dial in the nozzle without the cartridge.
  • If the Odour Neutraliser Technology cartridge is not emitting a scent, consider replacing it.
