Frequently Asked Questions - Navigator Lift-Away Professional NV356E SHARK

How do I assemble the Shark Navigator Lift-Away Professional NV356E?
Place the floor nozzle on a level surface. Align the tube of the floor nozzle with the tube on the Lift-Away canister and lower until it clicks. Attach the extension wand to the back of the canister. Slide the accessory holder onto the wand. Push the handle onto the top of the wand until it clicks. Insert the stretch hose into the connector on the back of the canister. Store the dusting brush and crevice tool on the accessory holder.
How do I switch between upright vacuum and portable Lift-Away mode?
To switch to portable Lift-Away mode, press the red release button on the side of the canister and lift the canister off the floor nozzle. The canister can be carried by the handle on top. To revert to upright mode, align the canister back onto the floor nozzle and push down until it clicks.
How do I clean the pre-motor filters?
Remove the dust cup. Pull out the two pre-motor filters (foam and felt). Rinse them thoroughly in lukewarm water until the water runs clear. Squeeze out excess water and let them air-dry for at least 24 hours. Do not use a hair dryer or other heating methods. Replace the felt filter first, then the foam filter, then the dust cup.
How do I clean the post-motor HEPA filter?
Remove the filter cover from the front of the vacuum by pulling up on the tab. Take out the HEPA filter. Tap it clean against a garbage can, then wash under lukewarm water with the dirty side down until water runs clear. Air-dry for 24 hours. Replace the filter and snap the cover back into place.
What should I do if the vacuum loses suction?
First, empty the dust cup if it is full. Check the pre-motor and post-motor filters for cleaning. Remove any blockages from the hose, attachments, or the floor brush. Ensure the suction release on the handle is closed for maximum suction. If the problem persists, check for blockages in the hose connections and nozzle as described in the manual.
How do I use the Dust-Away hard floor attachment?
Attach the Dust-Away pad by slipping the tabs between the suction nozzle and the base, securing them on the front and back fasteners. Use only in portable Lift-Away mode. Attach the extension wand to the Dust-Away attachment. Turn the vacuum to position 'I' for suction only. Do not use on wet floors. Wash pads in warm water without bleach or fabric softener.
Why is the brush roll indicator light red?
A red light indicates a blockage or jam in the motorized floor brush. Immediately turn off and unplug the vacuum. Inspect the brush roll for tangled hair, string, or debris. Cut away any obstructions with scissors. Clear any blockages in the nozzle. The light will reset once the blockage is cleared and the vacuum is turned back on.
What is the correct way to store the vacuum?
Convert the vacuum back to upright mode. Rotate the upper quick cord release upright, coil the power cord loosely around the two cord clips, and secure the plug. Store the dusting brush and crevice tool on the accessory holder. Empty the dust cup before storing. Keep the vacuum in a cool, dry place.
How do I clean the motorized floor brush?
Detach the motorized floor brush from the canister. Inspect the opening underneath and the rotating brush. Remove any debris and cut away hair or string wrapped around the brush with scissors, being careful not to damage the bristles. Check for blockages in the three holes of the floor brush hose connections.
What does the warranty cover?
EURO-PRO Operating LLC warrants the product against material defects and workmanship for 5 years from the date of purchase for normal household use. It covers repair or replacement at their option. Normal wear parts, commercial use, misuse, and unauthorized repairs are excluded. Return the appliance with proof of purchase and $19.95 for return shipping and handling.

3 Press the On/Off switch (a) to the "I" position to vacuum bare floors (straight suction only) or to the "II" position to engage the motorized floor brush (for vacuuming carpets and rugs). (Fig. 11)

SHARK Navigator Lift-Away Professional NV356E - TO USE: - 3

IMPORTANT: The motorized brush indicator light (b) will illuminate green when motorized floor brush is on, or red if there is a blockage or jam.

(Fig. 11) This feature is designed to protect your Lifetime Belt that powers your motorized floor brush. See Checking for Blockages on page 15.

4 Gently press the floor nozzle down with your foot while you grasp the handle and tilt it back towards you. (Fig. 12)
NOTE: The rotating brush on the motorized floor brush will not spin unless the nozzle is flat against the floor and the handle is tilted back.
5 Due to the huge suction power of this vacuum, it may become necessary at times to adjust the suction release (c) on the handle. (Fig. 11) If the vacuum seems difficult to push or pull or if it is lifting up area rugs, adjust the suction release by rotating the collar 90^ counterclockwise to open the valve. Rotate the collar clockwise to close the valve when you need high suction and for vacuuming floors.
6 Empty dust cup after vacuuming and periodically during use when it appears full. (See "Maintenance" section for instructions.)
7 When you are finished vacuuming, turn the vacuum off.

2 Attach desired accessory onto the end of either the extension wand or the handle. (Fig. 16)
3 Your vacuum has tremendous suction power. Adjust the amount of suction with the suction release on the handle. Open the valve (a) by rotating the collar 90° counterclockwise for low suction when doing light jobs such as drapes or fine surfaces. Close the valve (a) by rotating the collar clockwise 90° for high suction and when using the hand held power brush. (Fig. 16-a)

4 Press the On/Off switch to the "I" position to turn the vacuum on for above-floor cleaning.
IMPORTANT: Ensure vacuum is in upright position. Do not use position "II" when cleaning above the floor in the upright vac mode as this will engage the motorized floor brush. The rotating brush may damage your floor if run for a prolonged period of time in one area.

natural_image Line drawing of a person using a vacuum cleaner device, no text or symbols present

2 Do not use bleach or fabric softeners as they may damage or leave a coating that will reduce the cleaning performance of the pads.
3 Tumble dry low or line dry to extend the life of the micro-fiber fabric.

REPLACE PADS

1 For best floor cleaning results, we recommend replacing your micro-fiber pads every 3-4 months following normal use.
2 You can find and purchase replacement micro-fiber dusting pads and accessories at www.sharkclean.com

TO REPLACE THE MOTORIZED FLOOR BRUSH FOR UPRIGHT CLEANING

1 Press the red release at the bottom of the extension wand and remove the hard floor attachment.
2 Replace the canister back onto the motorized floor brush and re-insert the handle with extension wand back into the top of the vacuum body until you hear these click into place.

When attaching the motorized floor brush, ensure that the locking mechanism is fully locked in place to ensure electrical connection has been made.

CLEANING THE MOTORIZED FLOOR BRUSH

When your motorized floor brush needs cleaning or locks onto an object, it automatically shuts down to prevent damage to your lifetime belt. The indicator light will illuminate red warning you to turn off the vacuum and clear blockage immediately. The light will reset itself once blockage has been cleared and power has been cycled on/off or vacuum has been locked in the upright position.

1 Detach the motorized floor brush from the portable Lift-Away® canister.
2 Inspect the opening underneath and the rotating brush. If a build-up of debris is present, remove it. Carefully cut anything wound around the rotating brush with scissors. Avoid damaging or cutting the bristles. (Fig. 31)

CHECKING FOR BLOCKAGES

Blockages may cause your vacuum to overheat and shut down. To prevent this from happening, check potential blockage areas after heavy use or if you detect a loss of suction or poor cleaning performance.
