a low-pile carpet, or a small area rug. If some fibers remain wrapped around the brushroll after continued use,
carefully remove them. If you run over a hard or sharp object, notice a noise change while vacuuming, or the
nozzle indicator light turns red, check for blockages or objects caught in the self-cleaning brushroll or Soft Roller.

brushroll.
3. Clear airway of blockages.
