The Shark IQ Robot Self-Empty XL combines the convenience of a self-empty base with IQ Navigation total home mapping for complete, efficient cleaning. It features powerful suction and a self-cleaning brushroll, designed for homes with pets to capture dust, dander, and pet hair from carpets and hard floors.

Place the self-empty base against a wall on a bare floor. Plug in the base power cord. For best results, leave at least 3 feet of open space on both sides of the base and 5 feet in front of it. When the base is plugged in, the power indicator light will turn GREEN.

3. App Integration and Mapping
Download the SharkClean app to unlock advanced features. The robot will run several cleaning cycles to map your home's layout, identifying walls and open areas. Once mapped, you can view and edit the map within the app, defining rooms and setting "No-Go Zones" to restrict the robot from certain areas (e.g., around cords or delicate items).

Starting a Clean
You can initiate a cleaning session using the physical buttons on the robot (Clean or Dock) or through the SharkClean app. The app allows for scheduling whole-home cleaning or targeting specific rooms/areas. The robot methodically cleans row by row and then navigates room to room for complete coverage.
Garbiketa moduak
Select from different power levels: Eco, Normal, or Max, depending on your cleaning needs. Higher power levels provide deeper cleaning but may consume battery faster.
Nabigazioa eta oztopoak saihestea
The Shark IQ Robot uses advanced navigation to efficiently clean your home. It is designed to avoid obstacles and will automatically turn if it encounters an object. If the battery runs low during a cleaning cycle, the robot will return to its base to recharge and then resume cleaning from where it left off.

Regular maintenance ensures your Shark IQ Robot continues to perform optimally.
1. Emptying the Dustbin/Canister
The XL Self-Empty Base holds up to 45 days of dirt and debris, reducing the frequency of manual emptying. To empty the base canister, simply press the release button and remove the canister. Empty its contents into a trash bin. The bagless design makes this process clean and easy.
2. Iragazkiaren garbiketa eta ordezkapena
Both the robot's internal dustbin filter and the base's foam filter should be cleaned periodically. The base's foam filter is reusable and can be cleaned with water, but ensure it is completely dry before reinserting. Replace filters as needed to maintain suction performance.
3. Brushroll Cleaning
The multi-surface brushroll is designed to minimize hair wrap, but occasional cleaning may be necessary, especially in homes with pets or long hair. Access the brushroll compartment on the underside of the robot to remove any tangled hair or debris.

Wipe the robot's sensors periodically with a clean, dry cloth to ensure accurate navigation and obstacle detection.
