Check to see if the filters need to be cleaned if the vacuum is not picking up dirt, if airflow is restricted, or if you notice lighter suction. For optimal performance, the pre-motor foam and felt filters should be cleaned once per month, and the post-motor filter should be cleaned every nine months. Tap loose dirt off filters between washes. Refer to your Owner's Guide for more information.
For optimal performance, the pre-motor foam and felt filters should be cleaned once per month, and the post-motor filter should be cleaned every nine months. Tap loose dirt off filters between washes. To clean the pre-motor filters, lift off the lid from the top of the handheld vacuum and remove the foam and felt filters underneath. Rinse both filters with water only, then allow them to air-dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinstalling. To clean the post-motor filter, lift off the filter cover below the handle of the handheld vacuum and remove the filter. Rinse the filter with water only, then allow it to air-dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinstalling. It is important to note that the foam and felt filters may appear dirty after first use and may discolor over time. This is normal. Extra filters are available for purchase at sharkaccessories.com if you want a spare set to keep on hand.

The Shark Apex DuoClean with Zero-M Ultra-Light Corded Stick Vacuum is equipped with Shark's best cleaning technologies in DuoClean and Zero-M. DuoClean dual brushrolls pick up large, small, and stuck-on particles on carpets and floors. The Zero-M self-cleaning brushroll delivers nonstop hair removal. The slim design and ability to convert to a handheld vacuum let you clean hard-to-reach areas both below furniture and high above the floor, and a power cord means never having to worry about batteries.
DuoClean technology is a dual-brushroll system designed to clean both carpets and hard floors. The bristle brush deep-cleans carpets, while the soft brushroll pulls in larger particles and directly engages floors for a polished look.
Zero-M technology is an innovation to the main brushroll in the floor nozzle that means the brushroll now cleans itself while you vacuum. It is meant for all types of hair: long, short, and pet hair. The unique bristle guard and comb separate hair from the brushroll and send the hair directly to the dust cup.
Parts include the handheld vacuum, floor nozzle, and wand. It also comes with a variety of cleaning accessories. Depending on the model you purchase, these accessories will vary. To find out specifically what is in your version, consult the Quick Start Guide that came with your unit. To purchase additional accessories for your vacuum, visit sharkaccessories.com.
Insert the wand into the floor nozzle until it clicks into place. Next, insert the handheld vacuum into the top of the wand until it clicks into place.
The Shark Apex DuoClean with Zero-M Ultra-Light Corded Stick Vacuum has two powerful settings: one for bare floors and small area rugs, and one for carpet. Bare Floor/Small Area Rugs: Slide the power switch on the handheld vacuum to the middle position, setting I. Then tilt the handheld vacuum back while gently stepping on the floor nozzle. The brushrolls will spin slowly in this mode. Carpet: Slide the power switch on the handheld vacuum to position II. Then tilt the handheld vacuum back while gently stepping on the floor nozzle.

Press the Wand Release button at the top of the wand and detach the handheld vacuum. Attach any of the accessories to the handheld vacuum to clean areas like stairs, furniture, etc.

Slide a cleaning accessory onto the end of the handheld vacuum or the end of the wand. Use either power setting, as the suction power is the same in either mode. Note that a few accessories (Mini Motorized Brush, Flexible Hose, etc.) must be clicked completely into place in order to work properly.

If you detect a loss of suction in your vacuum, you should first check to make sure the filters are clean. 1. Open the dust cup and locate the cone-shaped screen or mesh filter inside. Remove all dirt, debris, and hair from the screen. 2. Next, remove the filters. (See "How do I clean the filters?" for more information.) Tap all loose dust and dirt off the filters. 3. Reinstall the filters and close the dust cup. Test the vacuum's suction against your hand. If the filters are clean but suction continues to fail, this may indicate that you have a clog between the wand and the floor nozzle. 1. Remove and inspect the wand to make sure there are no obstructions. 2. Check the floor nozzle to make sure there are no blockages in the airpath or debris on the brushroll. 3. Check all dust cup intake openings to make sure they're clear. If the problem persists, please contact Customer Service at 1-877-581-7375.
If the brushroll indicator light on the floor nozzle turns red, the brushrolls have stopped spinning. Immediately turn off and unplug the vacuum. Disconnect the nozzle and remove any blockages before reconnecting and turning vacuum back on. If the brushroll indicator light is green, the blockage has been successfully cleared. If the light is still red, please contact Customer Service at 1-877-581-7375 for further assistance.
1. Turn off and unplug the vacuum. 2. Disconnect the wand from the handheld vacuum and the floor nozzle. 3. Check all openings for blockages. Using a flashlight may help. 4. Empty the dust cup and check to see if the filters need cleaning. Follow instructions for rinsing and air-drying the filters before reinstalling them. 5. Remove any debris from the brushrolls. 6. Reassemble the vacuum, plug it in, and turn it on. If the problem persists, please contact Customer Support at 1-877-581-7375.
When the brushroll indicator light is green, that means the brushrolls are spinning normally. When the light is solid red, that means the brushrolls are not spinning and there may be something obstructing the floor nozzle. When the light is flashing red, that means the vacuum has overheated and shut itself off.

Check for blockages in wand, accessories, and inlet openings. 5. Allow the unit to cool for a minimum of 45 minutes. 6. Plug in the vacuum. 7. Restart the unit by turning the power on.
