In this mode, the vacuum will
automatically detect hidden dirt,
different types of floor surfaces,
and edges and corners, and will
adjust suction to maximize cleaning
performance.
Manual Surface Modes: Tap one of the
surface modes to clean specific surfaces
without Smart Detect Technology.
Hard Floor: Suction and brushroll

Thick Carpet/Area Rug: Suction and
brushroll speed optimized for cleaning
thick carpets and area rugs.
SMART DETECT TECHNOLOGY
FloorDetect™: Senses different surface types
and automatically adjusts brushroll speed
and suction power for optimized cleaning on
each surface.
DirtDetect: Senses hidden debris you can't
see and automatically boosts suction power.
The LED indicator light will turn purple,
and suction will increase for more cleaning
power. Continue cleaning until the light turns
white, indicating the surface is clean.
EdgeDetect: Focuses and maximizes suction
along corners and edges to target stubborn
dirt. When an edge is detected, the arrow
indicator on the top of the nozzle will turn on.

Questions and answers
I vacuumed up some baking powder and now I want to clean it out. How do I do that?
To clean baking powder out of the Shark POWERDETECT AZ4000 Series vacuum, follow these steps:
1. Turn Off and Unplug – Ensure the vacuum is turned off and unplugged from the electrical outlet.
2. Empty the Dust Cup – Remove the dust cup and empty any baking powder inside.
3. Check for Blockages – Inspect the hose, wand, and nozzle for any clogs and remove debris.
4. Clean the Filters – The HEPA filter should be cleaned every year, and the pre-motor filters should be replaced every 2.5 years. Remove the filters and tap off excess dust. If necessary, rinse with water and allow them to dry completely before reinstalling.
5. Clean the DirtDetect Sensors – If the DirtDetect Indicator is red, clean the sensors as hair and fine particles may obstruct them.
6. Reassemble and Test – Once everything is clean and dry, reassemble the vacuum and test its functionality.
Avoid vacuuming fine powders frequently, as they can clog filters and reduce suction efficiency.

Can you turn off the beater bar off where there is just suction on the new PowerDetect power lift away vacuum. On the Navigator Lift Away there is switch on the handle that disengages the beater bar. Does new PowerDetect vacuum have this capability?
The manual does not explicitly mention a switch to turn off the beater bar for suction-only mode. However, it does state that for maximum suction for above-floor cleaning, the vacuum should be set to Hard Floor mode, which may imply reduced or no brushroll activity.
