• Make sure the front panel of the air purifier faces away from the closest wall.

• Do not move the unit while it is running. Turn off the power and unplug the air purifier before moving it.

• Make sure the air intake vents are not blocked.

• Do not place anything on the air purifier.

• Do not place the air purifier near heaters or radiators.

• Keep the air purifier out of direct sunlight and away from water or other liquid.

• Keep all nearby doors and windows closed when operating the air purifier.

• Avoid using in very humid environments.

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 flat, level, floor surface, at least 3 inches (8 cm) away from walls and objects. If Odor Neutralizer Technology is included with your air purifier, find the odor cartridge and follow the instructions to install it.

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

6. When the air purifier 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.

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

Auto Mode: Press to turn on Auto Mode. In this setting the fan speed automatically adjusts based on real-time air quality readings. As the air quality improves, the fan speed will decrease. If air quality worsens, the fan speed will increase. Leave your unit in Auto Mode for optimal filter life and performance.

Fan Speed: Adjusts the speed of the fan. Select one of 5 settings: 1 Quiet, 2 Low, 3 Medium, 4 High, 5 Maximum. Note: If fan speed is manually changed, Auto Mode will be deactivated.

Air Info: Press to switch between air quality display options.

Shut-Off Timer: Set the number of hours for the air purifier to run before it automatically shuts off. Timer can be set from 1 to 12 hours.

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. In fully dim mode, the air purifier will continue to run with the LED light off – perfect for nighttime.

Dust Filter Life: Press to show the remaining life of the mesh dust filters before additional maintenance is required. When Dust Filter Life reaches 0%, the filter icon will flash to indicate the mesh dust filters need to be checked for debris buildup.

Child Lock: Press and hold for two seconds to lock the top control panel buttons. To unlock, press and hold for two seconds again.

Optimize Performance in Eco Mode: After 100% clean air status is achieved for 5 minutes in Auto Mode, your air purifier 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 Child Lock buttons at the same time for two seconds. To resume, press and hold both buttons again.

The built-in sensor 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 will change color as your air quality changes, allowing you to easily monitor your air quality even when the air purifier is across the room.

GOOD (Blue Ring)

85-100% | 0-25 particles

A blue ring means your air quality is good, with a low level of particle concentration.

FAIR (Amber Ring)

70-84% | 26-80 particles

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 (Red Ring)

0-69% | 81-430+ particles

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 percentage of clean air.

Your SHARK HP150 is equipped with 5 fan speed settings. 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 air purifier 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.

After 100% clean air is achieved for 5 minutes in Auto Mode, your 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.

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

Your air purifier may have the child lock setting activated. Press and hold the Child Lock button for two seconds to turn this setting on or off.

If your air purifier 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. Our 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.

These easy-to-clean mesh dust filters capture large debris like hair, dust, and lint to protect the 3-layer HEPA filter. Maintenance is required on these mesh dust filters when indicated on the front display.

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

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

When the Check Dust Filters message appears on the front display, remove the dust filters and inspect them for debris. If maintenance is required, be sure to KEEP THE AIR PURIFIER PLUGGED IN and running, and complete the following steps:

1. LOCATE AND REMOVE MESH DUST FILTERS: Gently slide up the filters to remove them. Check the screens for dust and debris buildup.

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

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

4. REINSTALL MESH DUST FILTERS: Gently reinsert the mesh dust filters into the slots on the sides of the air purifier. Be sure to push each dust filter into place until it is flush with the air purifier body.

5. RECALIBRATION: Once both mesh dust filters have 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 Filters indicator, press and hold the filter icon on the top control panel for 1.5 seconds.

For best results, clean the exterior 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.

For best results, clean the interior of the air purifier every two months or as needed. Remove the filter door, take out the HEPA filter, and use a vacuum cleaner or a microfiber cloth to remove dust and debris from the interior. DO NOT use abrasive chemical cleaners or water on the inside of the air purifier.
