Follow these steps to set up your SHARK HP070:

1. DO NOT plug in the air purifier. First, carefully turn the air purifier upside down and place it on a level floor surface. Rotate the filter door counterclockwise to unlock it, then lift it off to access the HEPA filter.

2. Take the HEPA filter out of its plastic packaging. Reinstall the HEPA filter in either orientation.

3. With the HEPA filter reinstalled, rotate the filter door clockwise until it clicks into place.

4. Set up the air purifier on a level surface, at least 3 inches (8 cm) from walls and objects. If using, find the Odor Neutralizer Technology cartridge and follow the instructions to install it.

5. Carefully remove the yellow sticker on the front of the air purifier to access the display panel. Plug the air purifier into an electrical outlet and press the power button on the top control panel.

6. When the power is on, the air purifier will begin to analyze the air quality, indicated by the rotating lights. After a few seconds, the air purifier will display the current air quality.

The top control panel of your SHARK HP070 has the following buttons:

On/Off: Press to turn the power on or off.

Fan Speed: Press repeatedly to cycle through the fan speed options: A Auto, 1 Quiet, 2 Low, 3 Medium, 4 High, 5 Maximum. For optimal filter life and performance, select Auto mode. In Auto mode, the fan speed automatically adjusts based on air quality.

Air Info: Press to switch between air quality display options and filter life information.

Brightness: Adjusts the brightness of both the front display screen and the top control panel. Switch between 3 options: full brightness, partially dim, fully dim.

Child Lock: Press and hold the Brightness and Fan speed buttons at the same time for two seconds to lock the top control panel buttons. To unlock, press and hold both buttons again for two seconds.

Optimize Performance in Eco Mode: After 100% clean air status is achieved for 5 minutes in Auto Mode, your SHARK HP070 will enter Eco Mode. Your unit’s filter life will be optimized.

Turn Off Beeping: To turn off notification sounds, press and hold the Air Info and Fan Speed buttons at the same time for two seconds. To resume, press and hold both buttons again.

The built-in sensor on your SHARK HP070 detects your air quality to give you real-time information. Use the AIR INFO button to switch between air quality display options.

The rings on the front display of your SHARK HP070 change color to indicate your air quality:

GOOD (85-100%): A blue ring means your air quality is good, with a low level of particle concentration.

FAIR (70-84%): An amber ring means your air quality is fair, with a moderate level of particle concentration. For better results, increase fan speed or select Auto Mode.

POOR (0-69%): A red ring means your air quality is poor, with a high level of particle concentration. For better results, increase fan speed or select Auto Mode.

Note: The air quality sensor uses a cumulative particle count across all particle sizes to determine the percentage of clean air.

Your SHARK HP070 air purifier has 5 speed settings plus Auto Mode. Adjust fan speed to optimize your cleaning performance.

We recommend using this air purifier in Auto Mode. Auto Mode leverages your air purifier’s particle sensor, and this adjusts the fan speed automatically. Higher fan speeds work best for reducing odors and capturing debris most effectively.

We recommend setting up the SHARK HP070 in the room of your home where there is the most activity. This will help to clear the air of pollutants and odors as they are introduced. Note: This model is recommended for smaller rooms.

After 100% clean air is achieved for 5 minutes in Auto Mode, your SHARK HP070 air purifier will enter Eco Mode. The fan will turn off until a significant number of particles are detected, optimizing your HEPA filter’s life.

Yes. To turn off notification sounds, press and hold the Air Info and Fan Speed buttons at the same time for two seconds. To reactivate sounds, press and hold both buttons for 2 seconds again.

Your SHARK HP070 may have the child lock setting activated. Press and hold the Brightness and Fan Speed button for two seconds to turn this setting on or off.

If your SHARK HP070 displays a blue ring, your air quality is good. However, air quality will fluctuate as you introduce pollutants into your home. Activities like smoking, cooking, dusting, or spraying cleaning products (among other things) can add pollutants to your air. The Clean Sense IQ™ technology tracks this fluctuation in real time and adjusts as it detects particles. To determine if the sensor is working correctly, spray perfume or aerosol cleaning product near the sensor on the back of the air purifier.

If your air quality never reaches 100%, make sure that the HEPA filter is properly installed and that its original plastic packaging has been removed. Activities like smoking, burning candles, running a humidifier, opening windows, and cooking (among other things) can add more pollutants to your air. Make sure to survey your environment and remove anything that could be causing low air quality.

If the problem persists after these checks, the air quality sensor on the back of the air purifier may be dirty, causing a false reading. First, turn off and unplug the unit. Remove the mesh dust filter to locate the sensor on the back. Use a hand vacuum or hose attachment to clean the area around the sensor. After cleaning, wait 30 seconds before plugging the unit back in and turning it on. Let it run for 24 hours and monitor the air quality.

This easy-to-clean mesh dust filter captures large debris like hair, dust, and lint to protect the 3-layer HEPA filter. Maintenance is required on this filter when indicated on the front display. Refer to the Mesh Dust Filter Maintenance section for more information.

When the mesh dust filter needs maintenance, the front display will show a pulsing red ring along with the text “check dust filter.”

No, the HEPA filter is not washable. Keep the filter away from water and dispose of it when it is dirty.

When the mesh dust filter on your SHARK HP070 needs maintenance, the front display will show a screen with a pulsing red ring and the text “CHECK DUST FILTERS”.

When the “Check Dust Filter” message appears, KEEP THE AIR PURIFIER PLUGGED IN and running, and complete the following steps:

1. LOCATE AND REMOVE MESH DUST FILTER: Gently slide up the filter and remove it. Check the screen for dust and debris buildup.

2. CLEAN DUST FILTER: Use a vacuum cleaner on low speed with a soft brush attachment OR a cloth/towel to remove debris from the mesh screen. DO NOT use abrasive chemical cleaners.

3. ADDITIONAL CLEANING (NOT REQUIRED): If additional cleaning is required, rinse the mesh dust filter with room temperature tap water. Be sure to completely dry the screen for 12 hours before reinstalling. DO NOT USE the air purifier when the mesh filter is wet.

4. REINSTALL MESH DUST FILTER: Gently reinsert the mesh dust filter into the slot on the side of the air purifier. Be sure to push the dust filter into place until it is flush with the air purifier body.

5. RECALIBRATION: Once the filter has been cleaned and reinstalled, the air purifier will recalibrate and begin to analyze air quality, indicated by the rotating lights.

Note: To manually reset the Check Dust Filter indicator, press and hold the Air Info button on the top control panel for 1.5 seconds.

For best results, clean the exterior of your SHARK HP070 every two months or as needed. Use a microfiber cloth to remove dust. To clean, wipe down the exterior with a microfiber cloth dampened with warm, soapy water. Avoid excess water and abrasive chemical cleaners to prevent damage. Be sure to unplug the air purifier before cleaning.

For best results, clean the interior of your SHARK HP070 every two months or as needed. First, unplug the unit.
