a low-pile carpet, or a small area rug� If some fibres remain wrapped around the brushroll after continued use,
carefully remove them� If you run over a hard or sharp object or notice a change in noise while vacuuming,
check the floor nozzle for blockages� (See the Checking for Blockages in the Floor Nozzle section�)

the Soft Roller clean and to remove any debris caught in
the teeth behind the Soft Roller�

air-dry completely, which should take at least 24-48 hours�

Make sure to clean the
sensors inside the hand
vacuum regularly, as hair
and other debris may build
up and obstruct them� If
the sensors are partially obstructed, Clean
Sense IQ mode will not adjust suction levels
as expected� If the sensors are completely
obstructed, the F0 error code will appear and
the Clean Sense IQ icon will flash on the hand
vacuum display panel�
To clean the sensors:

vacuum�
2. Locate the sensors inside the nozzle of
the hand vacuum� The sensors are on the
interior walls of the nozzle, about 3 inches
down the air path, aligned with the IQ
logos (Fig�2) on the exterior�
3. Gently wipe the sensors with a microfiber
cloth and remove all hair and debris�
4. Turn on power and verify that the unit is
