INITIAL START UP

When the Power-Mate_ is first started, the fol-

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

1, All three reds come one

2.Two reds are one

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 will be picked up by the vacuum and one or more red Iights might stay on.

IN OPERATION

When the Power-Mates 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 lights are on, dirt is passing through the wand to indicate that the surface still needs cleaning,

When the green tight 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 tights 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 lens causing the green light to come on and stay on - never switching to red. When this hap- pens the lens must be cleaned.

1. Remove the		°U
wands by press-
ing the quick
release	pedal and
lifting up	on the
wands

2, As indicated by the illustration, the two dirt sensor elements are located on the inside of

the swivel, approximately 31/2inches/90 mm down, (note the arrows). Each element should be cleaned periodically. To reach the sensor elements, use a small brush such as a bottle brush. Brush each sensor element several times to remove dust and dirL

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- sors.

CAUTION

The residue of the water or cleaners will accelerate the recoating of the lenses and make cleaning necessary

sooner.
