INITIAL START UP

When the Power-Mate _ is first started, the fol-

lowing light sequences occurs in a two sec- ond time frame:

I. All three reds come on.

2.Two reds are on.

3.One red is on

4.One green is on and will remain on until the Power-Mate ® nozzle is placed in use.

NOTE: If the nozzle is on a surface that has

dirt on it, dirt wilt be picked up by the vacuum and one or more red lights might stay on.

IN OPERATION

When the Power-Mate _ is being moved back and forth on the floor, the lights will change from one configuration to another as more dirt or less dirt is being vacuumed+ As long as one or more red tights are on, dirt is passing through the wand to indicate that the surface still needs cleaning

When the green light stays on as the Power- Mate '_is moved back and forth over an area, the sensor is not seeing enough dirt to war- rant further cleaning of that area.

NOTE: Dirt sensor lights DO NOT function in the FLOOR setting

CLEANING LENS

Although the dirt sensor feature in your Kenmore Power-Mate ® is designed for years of trouble free use, the passage of dirt through the air passage system can coat the fens causing the green light to come on and stay on - never switching to red+ When this happens the lens must be cleaned_

1.Remove the wands by press-

ing the quick release pedal and lifting up on the wands

Elements

2, As indicated by the illustration, the two dirt sensor elements are located on the inside of the swivel, approximately 3½ inches/90 mm down, (note the arrows). Each element should be cleaned periodically+ To reach the sensor elements, use a smalt brush such as a bottle brush+l Brush each sensor element several times to remove dust and dirt.

NOTE: Looking down inside the swivel you will see a ring. The sensor elements are located just slightly below this ring.

3.Reinstall the wands after cleaning the sen-

sots,

CAUTION

Never use water or any cleaning solution when cleaning the lenses. The residue of the water or cleaners will accelerate the recoating of the lenses and make cleaning necessary sooner,
