FAQs
Is this vacuum suitable for homes with multiple pets?
Yes, the Shark Upright Pet Vacuum Cleaner NZ691UKT is specifically designed for pet owners. It features Anti Hair Wrap Technology to manage pet hair on the brush-roll and includes a dedicated Pet Tool for deep cleaning pet hair from upholstery.
How often do I need to empty the dust bin?
It is recommended to empty the 1.1-liter dust bin after each significant use or whenever the 'Max Fill' line is reached to maintain optimal suction performance.
How do I clean the filters?
The filters should be cleaned regularly. Typically, pre-motor filters should be rinsed with cold water once a month, and the post-motor HEPA filter once a year. Always ensure filters are completely air-dry for at least 24 hours before reinstalling them. Refer to your user manual for exact instructions specific to your model.
What is Lift-Away Technology?
Lift-Away Technology allows you to detach the main canister from the floorhead with a single button press. This transforms the upright vacuum into a portable, lightweight cleaner, ideal for cleaning stairs, upholstery, or reaching high areas with the wand.
Does this vacuum work on hard floors as well as carpets?
Yes, this vacuum is versatile and features controls on the handle to switch between two floor modes, optimizing brush-roll speed for effective cleaning on both carpets and hard floors.
What does 'Anti Hair Wrap Technology' mean?
Anti Hair Wrap Technology is a unique feature that actively removes hair from the vacuum's brush-roll as you clean. This prevents hair from tangling around the brush-roll, ensuring consistent performance and significantly reducing the need for manual brush-roll maintenance.
Is there a warranty included with this vacuum?
Yes, Shark offers a 5-year guarantee for your peace of mind, upon registration of your product with Shark.
Is this a bagless vacuum?
Yes, the Shark Upright Pet Vacuum Cleaner NZ691UKT is bagless, featuring a convenient 1.1-liter capacity dust bin that can be easily emptied.
Troubleshooting
Vacuum is not turning on.
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the power switch on the vacuum is in the 'On' position. Test the outlet with another appliance to rule out an electrical issue.
Poor suction or not picking up debris.
Check if the dust bin is full and needs emptying. Inspect the hose, wand, and floorhead for any blockages. Ensure all connections are secure. Check and clean the filters (pre-motor and post-motor HEPA) as per the user manual; allow them to dry completely if washed.
Brush-roll is not spinning.
Make sure the vacuum is turned on and the correct floor mode (carpet or hard floor) is selected. Check the brush-roll area for any large obstructions or debris. Though rare with Anti Hair Wrap, manually check for any remaining tangled material.
Lift-Away unit is difficult to detach or reattach.
Ensure you are pressing the release button firmly. Check for any debris or obstructions preventing a smooth connection or disconnection. Make sure the unit is properly aligned when reattaching.

Care & Maintenance
Regular care ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your vacuum:
- Empty the Dust Bin: The 1.1-liter dust bin should be emptied regularly, preferably after each significant use or when the 'Max Fill' line is reached, to maintain strong suction.
- Clean Filters: As a bagless vacuum, filters (typically pre-motor and post-motor HEPA filters) will need regular cleaning. Refer to the manual for specific instructions on how often to wash or tap clean them. Allow filters to air dry completely before reinserting.
- Check for Blockages: Periodically inspect the hose, floorhead, and wand for any blockages that might impede airflow. The Anti Hair Wrap feature significantly reduces hair tangles, but other debris can still cause blockages.
- Wipe Down: Use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior of the vacuum cleaner.
- Brush-roll Inspection: Although the Anti Hair Wrap feature is effective, it's still good practice to occasionally check the brush-roll for any stubborn debris or threads that might have accumulated.
