The Shark NV702ANZ Series is a corded upright vacuum cleaner featuring Duo-Clean™ and Lift-Away® Technology, designed for comprehensive household cleaning. This owner's guide provides essential information for assembly, operation, and maintenance, ensuring safe and effective use of the appliance.
Function Description
This vacuum cleaner is engineered to provide powerful suction and versatile cleaning across various floor types and surfaces. Its primary function is to remove dust, dirt, debris, and pet hair from carpets, hard floors, and above-floor areas. The Duo-Clean™ Technology integrates two brushrolls in one nozzle, allowing for simultaneous cleaning of fine dust and large debris from hard floors, and deep cleaning of carpets. The Lift-Away® feature transforms the upright vacuum into a portable canister, enabling easy cleaning of stairs, upholstery, and hard-to-reach areas. The vacuum operates with a corded design, ensuring consistent power without the need for battery charging.
Usage Features
The Shark NV702ANZ offers several features to enhance the user experience and cleaning efficiency:
- Assembly: The vacuum is designed for straightforward assembly. Users simply insert the wand into the pod, the handle into the wand, and attach the hose to the back of the vacuum pod. All parts are designed to click firmly into place, indicating correct assembly.
- Power/Surface Switch: Located on the vacuum, this switch allows users to select between "Power Off," "Hard Floor" (setting I) for hard floors and small area rugs, and "Carpet" (setting II) for carpets. The brushroll spins in all modes, adapting to the selected surface.
- Suction Control Slider: Positioned on the handle, this slider enables adjustment of suction power. The "MIN" setting reduces suction and increases maneuverability, particularly useful on carpets, while the "MAX" setting provides maximum suction for hard floors. This feature allows for customized cleaning based on floor type and specific cleaning needs.
- Upright Mode: To engage the brushroll in upright mode, users step on the floor nozzle and firmly tilt the handle back. This activates the brushrolls for effective floor cleaning.
- Lift-Away® Mode: This innovative feature allows the user to detach the pod from the floor nozzle by stepping on a pedal. This transforms the upright vacuum into a portable unit, ideal for cleaning stairs, furniture, and other elevated surfaces.
- Above-Floor Cleaning (Handle and Wand): The vacuum offers two options for above-floor cleaning. Users can press the "Handle Release" button to detach the handle from the wand, allowing for attachment of cleaning accessories. Alternatively, pressing the "Wand Release" button detaches the wand from the pod, providing extended reach for cleaning high or distant areas.
- Accessory Compatibility: All included accessories are compatible with both the wand and the handle, offering flexibility for various cleaning tasks.
- Cord Management: The vacuum includes an upper cord hook that rotates down for easy cord access and removal. A cord holder on the side of the wand helps keep the power cord in place during vacuuming, preventing tangles and ensuring smooth operation.
- Brushroll Indicator Light: This light provides visual feedback on the brushroll's status. A solid green light indicates that the brushroll is spinning and functioning correctly. A solid red light signals a jam in the brushroll area, prompting the user to turn off and unplug the vacuum to clear any blockages. A flashing red light indicates that the motorised floor nozzle is overheating, requiring the user to turn off the vacuum and allow it to cool down for at least 60 minutes.
- Included Accessories: The vacuum typically comes with a Crevice Tool for cleaning tight spaces, a Pet Power Brush for removing pet hair and deep-cleaning dander from upholstery, and a Pet Multi-Tool, which is a convertible tool with a stiff bristle brush for stuck-on debris and an upholstery tool for pet hair and large debris piles. The specific accessories may vary by model.
Maintenance Features
Regular maintenance is crucial for ensuring the longevity and optimal performance of the Shark NV702ANZ vacuum cleaner. The owner's guide outlines several key maintenance procedures:
- Emptying the Dust Cup: The dust cup should be emptied regularly. To do this, users pull up the release button on the side of the dust cup handle, tilt the cup forward, and lift to remove it. The dust cup is then held over a receptacle, and a release button is pressed to open the bottom and empty its contents.
- Cleaning the Lint Screen: Collected debris from the lint screen, located inside the dust cup, can be removed by lifting a tab at the top of the dust cup to open the lid and access the screen for cleaning.
- Cleaning Pre-Motor Filters (Foam and Felt): These filters should be rinsed every month. After removing the dust cup, the foam and felt filters can be taken out and rinsed with cold water. Users are advised to tap loose dirt off the filters between washes. It is critical to allow these filters to air-dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinstalling them to prevent liquid from entering electronic parts. Soap should not be used when cleaning filters.
- Cleaning Post-Motor Filter: This filter should be rinsed every year. To access it, users pull a tab on the bottom of the filter door, then lift off the door. The tab on the side of the post-motor filter is pressed, and the filter is slid out. Reinstallation involves aligning the top first, then pressing the bottom until it clicks into place. Like other filters, it must be air-dried completely before reinstallation.
- Cleaning the Brushroll: To clean the brushroll, users turn the locks on the cover counterclockwise with a coin, lift off the cover, and remove any debris or hair wrap. The debris intake should also be checked and cleared of any blockages. To close, the cover is pushed down until it clicks, and the locks are turned clockwise.
- Cleaning the Soft Roller: The soft roller can be removed by sliding the "Eject Roller" button on the floor nozzle. Loose debris should be tapped off, and a dry towel can be used to wipe it clean and remove any debris caught in the teeth behind it. If needed, the soft roller can be hand-washed with water only and must air-dry completely for at least 24 hours before being reinserted until it clicks securely into place. Regular maintenance of the soft roller is recommended for best performance.
- Checking for Blockages: The guide provides instructions for checking blockages in various parts of the vacuum:
- Nozzle Blockages: Check the opening at the top of the nozzle.
- Dust Cup Blockages: Detach the dust cup, empty it, remove debris from the lint screen, and check for blockages.
- Wand Blockages: Detach the wand from the pod and handle, and check both ends.
- Hose Blockages: Detach the hose from both the handle (by pressing the release button) and the pod, and check all openings.
- Handle Blockages: Detach the handle from the wand and check its openings.
- Troubleshooting: The manual includes a troubleshooting section to address common issues such as loss of suction, vacuum lifting area rugs, brushroll not spinning, and the vacuum turning off or indicator light flashing red due to overheating. Solutions typically involve checking filters, emptying the dust cup, clearing blockages, adjusting suction settings, or allowing the unit to cool down.
The Shark NV702ANZ Series is designed for ease of use and maintenance, providing a powerful and adaptable cleaning solution for various household needs. Adhering to the instructions in the owner's guide ensures optimal performance and extends the life of the appliance.
