To assemble the Shark Rotator NR96, start by attaching the wand to the floor nozzle until it clicks into place. Then, connect the handle to the wand and secure it. Finally, attach the hose to the back of the vacuum and ensure all connections are tight.
Remove the dust cup and take out the foam and felt filters. Rinse them under lukewarm water until the water runs clear. Allow them to air dry for at least 24 hours before reinserting. Do not use soap or put them in a dishwasher.
Check for blockages in the hose, wand, and brushroll. Clean the filters and ensure they are completely dry before reinserting. Empty the dust cup if it is full, and inspect the brushroll for tangled hair or debris.
The HEPA filter should be replaced every 12 months to maintain optimal performance. However, if you notice a decrease in suction or persistent odors, consider replacing it sooner.
Yes, the Shark Rotator NR96 is suitable for hardwood floors. Use the hard floor setting to prevent the brushroll from spinning, which helps protect your floors from scratches.
First, ensure the vacuum is in the correct mode for carpet cleaning. Check for obstructions in the brushroll and remove any tangled debris. If the issue persists, inspect the belt for wear and consider replacing it if necessary.
To store your Shark Rotator NR96, turn off the vacuum and unplug it. Empty the dust cup and clean the filters. Store the vacuum in a cool, dry place, and wrap the cord neatly around the hooks provided. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of the vacuum.
Regularly check the brushroll for tangled hair and debris. Use scissors to carefully cut away any entangled strands, and wipe the brushroll with a damp cloth. Perform this maintenance at least once a month or more frequently in high-traffic homes.
A burning smell could indicate a clogged brushroll or motor. Turn off the vacuum and inspect the brushroll for jams. Check the filters and hose for blockages. If the smell persists, discontinue use and contact Shark customer support.
Regular maintenance is key. Clean filters monthly, check for blockages, and empty the dust cup frequently. Store the vacuum properly, avoid overfilling the dust cup, and replace parts like the HEPA filter and brushroll as recommended.
