Clean Sense IQ Technology
At the heart of the Shark Clean Sense IQ Air Purifier lies the innovative Clean Sense IQ technology, designed to deliver intelligent and efficient air purification. This advanced system continuously monitors air quality in real-time, detecting and responding to changes in pollutants like dust, allergens, and odors.
The Clean Sense IQ technology features a sophisticated sensor that analyzes the air quality and provides real-time feedback on the front display. This feedback allows you to see the current air quality and understand the effectiveness of the purification process.
Based on these real-time readings, the Clean Sense IQ technology automatically adjusts fan speed to optimize purification. When the air quality is good, the fan operates at a lower speed to conserve energy. However, when the air quality deteriorates, the fan automatically increases speed to efficiently remove pollutants.
This intelligent approach to air purification ensures that your air is consistently clean and healthy, while also providing energy efficiency and quiet operation.
Filter System
The Shark Clean Sense IQ Air Purifier boasts a multi-stage filter system designed to capture a wide range of airborne pollutants, ensuring cleaner and healthier air for you and your family. This comprehensive system works in a layered approach to effectively trap dust, allergens, pet dander, smoke, mold spores, and other harmful particles.
At the core of the filter system lies the True HEPA filter, which effectively captures 99.98% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns, including those that trigger allergies and asthma. The True HEPA filter is a critical component in removing these microscopic particles, promoting cleaner breathing air for everyone in your home;
Complementing the True HEPA filter is a layer of activated carbon, which excels at absorbing odors and gases. The activated carbon filter effectively tackles cooking smells, pet odors, smoke, and other unpleasant aromas, creating a more pleasant and fresh indoor environment.
The Shark Clean Sense IQ Air Purifier also features a pre-filter, which acts as a first line of defense against larger particles like dust, pet hair, and lint. This pre-filter helps extend the life of the True HEPA and activated carbon filters by capturing larger particles before they reach the more delicate filters.
Remote Control
The Shark Clean Sense IQ Air Purifier comes equipped with a convenient and user-friendly remote control, allowing you to easily manage its functions from a distance. This remote control gives you full control over the air purifier’s settings, allowing you to customize its operation to your preferences and needs.
Using the remote control, you can power the air purifier on or off, select different operating modes such as Auto, Purified Air, and Purified Heat, and adjust the fan speed to your desired level. You can also control the heater function and set the target temperature for optimal comfort.
The remote control also displays the current air quality, providing real-time feedback on the cleanliness of your indoor air. This feature allows you to monitor the effectiveness of the air purifier and make informed decisions about adjusting its settings for optimal performance. The remote control’s intuitive design and clear button layout make it easy to navigate and control your Shark Clean Sense IQ Air Purifier, providing a seamless and comfortable user experience.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular maintenance and cleaning are crucial for ensuring your Shark Clean Sense IQ Air Purifier operates at peak performance and maintains its effectiveness in purifying your indoor air. This includes cleaning the exterior and replacing the filters according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
To clean the exterior of the air purifier, simply wipe it down with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the unit. Pay particular attention to the air intake and exhaust vents, ensuring they are free of dust and debris. This will ensure optimal airflow and prevent any performance issues.
The Shark NanoSeal HEPA filter is designed to last for 6-12 months, depending on usage and air quality. When the filter life indicator on the display blinks, it’s time to replace the filter with a new Shark branded filter. Using only Shark branded filters ensures optimal performance and compatibility with your air purifier.
By following these simple maintenance and cleaning procedures, you can extend the life of your Shark Clean Sense IQ Air Purifier and ensure it continues to provide clean and healthy air for your home.
