CHECK BASE FILL LEVEL

During the first few weeks ,
your robot will empty more
often than usual. Check the
fill level regularly. The dust
bin is designed to hold up
to 30 days’ wor th of debris,
but home environments
vary, and the bin may fill up
quicker in some homes.

As it cleans, your robot will create a map of your
home. It may take several cleanings for the robot to
finish its mapping. Once mapping is complete, an
Interactive Map of your floor plan will be available
on the app.

The interactive map in the app allows you to name
rooms, then select which rooms to clean, and
send the robot to immediately clean one specific

SharkNinja reserves the right to replace the unit with one of equal or greater value.

What is not covered by this warranty?

1. Normal wear and tear of wearable par ts (such as foam filters, filters, batteries, brushrolls, etc.), which
