The Shark HydroVac Cordless 3-in-1 Cleaner, WD200 Series, is a versatile cleaning appliance designed for household use, offering a combination of vacuuming, mopping, and self-cleaning functionalities. It is a cordless unit, providing freedom of movement during cleaning tasks.
Function Description:
The HydroVac is a 3-in-1 cleaner, meaning it can simultaneously vacuum, mop, and wash various surfaces. It is designed for both hard floors and area rugs, with specific cleaning modes to optimize performance for each. The device uses a clean solution tank to dispense cleaning fluid and a dirty water tank to collect soiled water and debris, ensuring effective cleaning and separation of clean and dirty liquids. Its cordless design, powered by a lithium-ion battery, allows for convenient use without being tethered to a power outlet.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Model Series: WD200 Series
- Voltage: 21.6V
- Battery Type: Lithium-ion rechargeable and recyclable battery.
- Charging Time: Approximately 4 hours for a full charge.
- Cleaning Fluids: Only Shark brand cleaning fluids (HydroVac Multi-Surface Concentrate, HydroVac Disinfectant) and water are recommended for use with this product to prevent internal component damage and ensure optimal performance.
- Filter and Brushroll Replacement: Recommended every 6 months.
Usage Features:
- Assembly: The unit consists of a main body, pole, and handle that click together. The dock is placed on the floor near a wall outlet for charging.
- Charging: The unit charges on a dock, with contacts on the main body aligning with those on the charging dock. LED battery icons illuminate to indicate charging status (low, mid, nearly full, full charge). A full charge takes approximately 4 hours. The unit can be left on the charger without damaging battery life.
- Power Control: A power button on the handle turns the unit on and off.
- Cleaning Modes:
- Hard Floor Mode: Activated by turning on the unit and tilting the handle back, this mode is for powerful cleaning on bare floors.
- Area Rug Mode: Activated by pressing the Area Rug icon on the handle, this mode is designed for cleaning area rugs and for improved stain cleaning on difficult stains or stubborn odors. The Area Rug light on the main body illuminates when this mode is active.
- Clean Solution Tank: This tank needs to be filled with water up to the "WATER" line, followed by Shark HydroVac Multi-Surface Concentrate up to the "HYDROVAC CONCENTRATE" line. The tank must be sufficiently filled for the HydroVac to operate.
- Cordless Operation: The lithium-ion battery provides power for cordless cleaning. LED indicators show battery charge level during use (full, mid, nearly empty pulsing, no charge).
- Safety Precautions: The manual emphasizes several safety instructions, including not using the cleaner with wet hands, not immersing it in water, keeping it away from children, and avoiding picking up large, hard, sharp, or burning objects, as well as flammable or toxic materials. It also advises against using the cleaner in poorly lit or outdoor areas, or in spaces with explosive or toxic fumes.
Maintenance Features:
- Self-Clean Cycle: This is a recommended feature after every use. To initiate, place the unit on the charging dock, empty the dirty water tank, and ensure the clean solution tank is at least half full. Press the power button to start the 2-minute cycle. The unit should not be removed from the dock during this cycle. After the cycle, the dirty water tank should be emptied. LED indicators provide feedback during the self-clean cycle, including warnings for an empty clean solution tank or a full dirty water tank.
- Dirty Water Tank Cleaning:
- Remove the tank by pressing the release button.
- Dispose of liquid waste through the "Easy Pour" spout.
- For solid debris, lift out the "Solids Separator," empty debris into trash, and rinse the separator and tank with water.
- Clean the filter housing and foam filter after every use by hand-washing with warm water and soap.
- Allow the foam filter and tank components to air-dry completely for at least 24 hours in a well-ventilated area before reinstallation.
- Brushroll Cleaning (Manual):
- Access the brushroll by pressing the button on the top of the nozzle and lifting the brushroll cover.
- Remove the brushroll by pulling up on the pull tab.
- Wipe away debris and wash the brushroll thoroughly with warm water.
- Allow the brushroll to air-dry completely for at least 24 hours in a well-ventilated area.
- Reinsert the brushroll by aligning grooves and pressing down until it is flush.
- Reinstall the brushroll cover by inserting tabs into slots and pressing down until it clicks.
- Note: The brushroll should not be placed in a washing machine or dishwasher.
- Blockage Checking: If unusual noises or performance changes occur, turn off the power, remove the brushroll cover, brushroll, and dirty water tank. Check openings for debris and remove any blockages before reinstalling components.
- Part Replacement: Filters and brushrolls should be replaced every 6 months. Replacement parts and cleaning concentrates can be ordered from sharkclean.com.
- Battery Disposal: The lithium-ion battery is rechargeable and recyclable. When it no longer holds a charge, it should be removed and recycled according to local ordinances and regulations. It should not be incinerated or composted. The RBRC seal indicates that recycling costs have been covered by SharkNinja.
