Checking For Blockages - Shark Stratos IZ420EUT Instructions Manual

MAINTAINING YOUR VACUUM
If any hair is wrapped around the brushroll, continue cleaning using the Carpet setting on a bare floor surface,
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.)

1 To remove Soft Roller from nozzle, pull the Soft Roller out
by the tab.
2 Tap loose debris off the Soft Roller. Use a dry towel to wipe
the Soft Roller clean and to remove any debris caught in
the teeth behind the Soft Roller.
3 Hand wash the Soft Roller as needed. Use only water, and let
air-dry completely, which should take at least 24-48 hours.
4 Reinsert Soft Roller until you feel it click into place.
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:
1. Turn off power and remove the hand
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
functioning normally.
