BATTERY PACK
The battery is the power source for the vacuum. Carefully read and follow all charging instructions.
To prevent unintentional starting, ensure it is powered off before picking up or carrying the vacuum. DO NOT carry the appliance with your finger on the power switch.
Use only charging dock XDCKBU3500L or chargers DK25A-263080H-U or YLS0251A-T263080 Use of incorrect charger may result in no charging and/or unsafe conditions.
Keep the battery away from all metal objects such as paper clips, coins, keys, nails, or screws. Shorting the battery terminals increases the risk of fire or burns.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery. Avoid contact with this liquid, as it may cause irritation or burns. If contact occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek medical help.
Battery should not be stored at temperatures below 3°C (37.4°F) or above 104°F (40°C) to maintain long-term battery life.
DO NOT charge battery at temperatures below 5°C (40°F) or above 104°C (104°F). Charging improperly or at temperatures outside of the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
Store the appliance indoors. DO NOT use or store it below 3°C (37.4°F). Ensure the appliance is at room temperature before operating.
DO NOT expose the battery to fire or temperatures above 265°F (130°C) as it may cause explosion.
Use appliances only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
Disconnect the battery pack from the appliance before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing appliance. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the appliance accidentally.
For IW4000 series, use only with Shark battery pack XBTR625KSLN.
If the charging cord plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT force into outlet or try to modify to fit.

QUICK START GUIDE

How to set up the IW4000 Series
Shark® Cordless Detect Pro™ Auto-Empty System.

ASSEMBLY

Slide the Wand onto the neck of the Floor Nozzle until it clicks into place.
Align the Hand Vacuum nozzle opening with the top of the wand and slide it on until it clicks into place.
Make sure the Dock is facing upright. Slide the Charging Post into the slot on front of dock until it clicks.
Place the dock on the floor near a wall outlet. Plug the Power Cord into the outlet, then connect the cord to the port on the back of the charging post.
Store the crevice tool accessory on the mount on the dock.

For proper operation, ensure all components are completely connected and clicked into place.

SETTINGS

Press the On/Off button on the handle to turn on power. To turn off power, press the button again.
To toggle between ECO, AUTO, and BOOST modes, press the mode selection button.

MODES EXPLAINED

When the LED indicator light is blue, this means no heavy dirt levels are detected and suction power is normal. When the vacuum senses heavy debris, the light will turn red, and suction power will increase for more cleaning power. When the indicator light turns amber, debris is being removed. Continue cleaning until the indicator turns blue again.

AUTO MODE

In this mode, all of the following technology is automatically activated:
DirtDetect: Identifies dirtier high-traffic areas and automatically boosts suction power to pull in hidden dirt.
FloorDetect™: Brushroll responds to surface changes and automatically adjusts to optimize your clean.
EdgeDetect: Dynamically detects edges and corners and maximizes suction and power to remove stubborn dirt.
LightDetect™: Senses low-light situations and automatically illuminates dark areas to help you spot debris.
ECO mode: Vacuum runs on the lowest power setting to preserve battery life. Auto Mode technology is NOT activated.
BOOST mode: Vacuum runs at maximum power for the highest possible suction level. Auto Mode technology is NOT activated.

ESSENTIAL MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE FILTERS
Regularly rinse and replace the filters to maintain your vacuum’s suction power. To clean filters, rinse them with water only. Allow all filters to air-dry completely for up to 24 hours before reinstalling to prevent liquid from being drawn into electric parts. Clean the pre-motor filters at least once a month and HEPA filter at least once a year. Tap off loose dirt between washes when needed. More frequent cleaning may sometimes be necessary with heavy use. Please refer to the Owner’s Guide for more information on filter maintenance.

To access the HEPA filter, rotate the filter cover on the handheld vacuum to the unlocked position.
Pull off the filter cover and lift out the HEPA filter.
Reinsert the filter, then replace the cover and rotate it back to the locked position.

Squeeze both release buttons to remove dust cup for filter maintenance.
Note: Dust cup must be open to remove.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT use soap when cleaning the filters. Use water only. The vacuum will not have suction if the post-motor filter is not installed. Ensure that all filters are installed before using.

CLEANING THE SENSORS

Make sure to clean the sensors regularly, as hair and other debris may build up and obstruct them. If the sensors are partially obstructed, Auto mode will not function as expected.

To clean the sensors:

Turn off power and remove the floor nozzle.
Locate the DirtDetect Sensor in the nozzle of the hand vac (Fig. 1), the LightDetect Sensor on the top of the nozzle (Fig. 2), 3. Gently wipe the sensors with aand the EdgeDetect sensor on the side of the nozzle (Fig. 3).
Gently wipe the sensors with a microfiber cloth and remove all hair and debris.
Reattach the floor nozzle to the rest of the unit and turn on power. Verify that the unit is functioning normally.
