Kenmore 116.23513 Reinstall the wandsafter cleaning the sen- sors, Thru, On its way to, Dust bag

SOME MODELS

The dirt sensor light system is mounted on the Power-Mate ® nozzle near the reset but-

ton. It consists of a series of three red lights and one green light.

	The	lights give
	you	an indica-
	tion	of the
	amount		of dirt
	particles		that
	are	passing
Dirt Sensor	thru	the sensor
(Some Models)	on its way to
	the dust bag.

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

IN OPERATION

When the Power-Matee 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 light stays on as the Power- Mate e 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 lens causing the green light to come on and stay on - never switching to red. When this happens the lens must be cleaned.

TO CLEAN THE LENSES

1.Remove the

wands by press- ing the quick release pedal and lifting up on the wands.

Elements

2.As indicatedby the illustration, the two dirt sensor elements are located on the insideof

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 dirt.

NOTE: Looking down inside the swivel you will see a ring. The sensor elements are

located just slightly below this ring.

Never use water or any cleaning solution when cleaning the lenses,

1"he residue of the water or cleaners

will accelerate the reeoating of the lenses and make cleaning necessary sooner.
