TO CLEAN THE SENSORS:
- Turn off power and remove the floor nozzle.
- Locate the DirtDetect sensor in the nozzle (Fig. 1), the FloorDetect sensor on the bottom of the nozzle (Fig. 2), and the EdgeDetect sensors on both sides of the nozzle (Fig. 3).
- Gently wipe the sensors with a microfiber cloth and remove all hair and debris.
- Reattach the floor nozzle to the rest of the unit and turn on power. Verify the unit is functioning normally.
