Embedded Dirt FINDERTM feature (some models)

With red and green lights (A), the ‘Dirt FINDER’ system alerts the user to areas of carpet that may need more cleaning attention. It is able to sense when larger amounts of dirt particles, especially embedded dirt, are removed.

To let you know that the ‘Dirt FINDER’ feature is ready the red light will come on when the cleaner is first turned on. After a few seconds, the red light will go off and the green light will come on.

Cleaning may then begin.

The green light will remain on through- out cleaning except when the detector senses that a larger amount of dirt is being picked up; then the red light will come on.

(Fig. 2-7 continued)

When the red light is on, you should take additional cleaning strokes in the area until it changes to green.

•The red light may seldom come on during cleaning. This means that your cleaner is picking up primarily fine sur- face dust and lint which the system may not detect, or that the carpet is general- ly clean. To increase the feature’s sen- sitivity to dirt, set the switch (B) to the “Hi” position.

•At other times, the red light may stay on for a considerable amount of time. This means that the carpet contains a high level of dirt which is being removed by the cleaner. To decrease the feature’s sensitivity to dirt, set the switch to the “Reg.” (Regular) position.

Carpet height adjustment

When it is necessary to raise and lower the front of the cleaner for various car- pet pile heights, slide the carpet height control (C) to the desired setting.

For maximum cleaning performance, the following carpet height settings are recommended:

•Low setting: for all types of carpet

•Higher settings: for very deep pile carpet where easier pushing effort is desired, while maintaining good clean- ing performance.

Note: If the cleaner is difficult to push, slide control to the next higher setting.
