The Shark HydroVac™ Corded 3-in-1 Cleaner, WD100 Series, is a versatile cleaning appliance designed for household use, offering a comprehensive solution for maintaining various floor surfaces. This owner's guide provides essential safety instructions, assembly steps, operational controls, and maintenance procedures to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the device.
The Shark HydroVac™ is a multi-functional 3-in-1 cleaner that vacuums, mops, and cleans itself simultaneously. It is designed to handle both hard floors and area rugs, making it a comprehensive tool for diverse cleaning needs. The device features a motorized nozzle, a main body pole, and a handle, all working in conjunction to deliver effective cleaning. It utilizes a clean solution tank to dispense cleaning fluid and a dirty water tank to collect waste, ensuring a hygienic cleaning process. The cleaner is corded, providing continuous power during operation without the need for battery recharging.
To begin using the Shark HydroVac™, users must first assemble the unit by aligning the pole with the opening in the main body and inserting it firmly until it clicks into place. Once assembled, the unit can be placed on its storage tray near a wall outlet.
Before operation, the clean solution tank needs to be filled. Users unscrew the cap, add water up to the "WATER" line, and then add Shark HydroVac™ Multi-Surface Concentrate up to the "HYDROVAC CONCENTRATE" line. It is crucial to use only Shark HydroVac Multi-Surface Concentrate, Shark Hydrovac Disinfectant, and water with this product to prevent internal component damage and streaking. Overfilling the concentrate should be avoided. If the clean solution tank is empty, the unit may make a pumping sound, which is normal, and refilling the tank will resolve this. The 3-in-1 Cleaner will not operate without sufficient water supply in the clean solution tank.
To power on the device, the power cord is unwrapped from the back of the unit and plugged into a safe outlet, ensuring the prongs are dry. The Power button on the handle is then pressed and released. To turn off the unit, the button is pressed again.
The Shark HydroVac™ offers two primary cleaning modes:
The device should always be kept moving over surfaces to avoid damaging anything, such as carpet fibers. It is not recommended to use the cleaner on unstable surfaces like chairs or tables. The cleaner should not be used to pick up large, hard, or sharp objects (like glass, nails, screws, or coins), large quantities of dust (e.g., drywall dust), smoking or burning objects (hot coals, cigarette butts, or matches), flammable or combustible materials (lighter fluid, gasoline, or kerosene), or toxic materials (chlorine bleach, ammonia, or drain cleaner). It should also not be used in poorly lit areas, outdoor areas, or enclosed spaces that may contain explosive or toxic fumes.
Regular maintenance is crucial for the Shark HydroVac™ to ensure its peak performance. The device incorporates a self-clean cycle and requires manual cleaning of various components.
Self-Clean Cycle: This cycle automatically cleans the system and the brushroll and is recommended after every use.
Manually Cleaning the Brushroll: This can be done as an alternative to the self-clean cycle or to remove debris or hair wrapped around the brushroll.
Checking for Blockages: If the unit runs over a hard or sharp object, or if a noise change is noticed, users should check for blockages or objects caught in the brushroll, nozzle chamber, or inlet hose.
Troubleshooting with LED Indicators: The device provides LED indicators to help diagnose issues.
Only use Shark® branded filters and accessories. Do not modify or attempt to repair the 3-in-1 Cleaner yourself. If the unit is not working as it should, or has been dropped, damaged, or left outdoors, contact customer service.
