To clean the filters, first, unplug the vacuum and remove the dust cup. Take out the foam and felt filters located in front of the motor. Rinse them under lukewarm water until the water runs clear. Allow them to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting them.
If your vacuum loses suction, check for blockages in the hose, dust cup, and filters. Ensure the dust cup is empty and all filters are clean and dry. Inspect the brush roll for obstructions like hair or debris.
The HEPA filter should be replaced every 12 months for optimal performance. However, if you notice a decrease in suction or unusual odors, consider replacing it sooner.

To remove the brush roll, first unplug the vacuum. Turn the vacuum over and use a coin to unlock the three locks on the brush roll cover. Remove the cover, then lift the brush roll out. Clean any hair or debris and rinse it with water if necessary. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting.
If the vacuum overheats, the thermal protector shuts it off automatically. Unplug it and let it cool for about 45 minutes. Check for blockages and clean filters before restarting.
Regularly inspect the power cord for damage or wear. Avoid wrapping the cord too tightly and keep it away from sharp edges and heated surfaces. Use the built-in cord wrap hooks for proper storage.
The Shark APEX AZ1000 features adjustable suction control. Use the suction control slider on the handle to increase or decrease suction power for different cleaning needs.

Use the crevice tool for tight spaces, the pet multi-tool for pet hair, and the dusting brush for delicate surfaces.
Store the vacuum in a cool, dry place. Wrap the cord neatly using the hooks provided, and ensure the dust cup is empty and all filters are clean and dry before storing. This will help maintain the vacuum's performance and longevity.
