Kenmore 116.25512 Power-Mate Storage, Thermal Protector, Performance, Indicator, Stair Grip

POWER-MATE ® STORAGE

The lower wand
has a "U" shaped		=4_
flange	in the area	'_"
where	the power

cord attaches. The base has a "U"

shaped slot near the front.

The flange allows

the wands and Power-Mate®tobe stored

with the canister to conserve storage space. The canister must be stored on end for this feature to be used.

To attach the Power-Mate ® , it must be in the fiat position as shown in the illustration. Use the handle release pedal to place it in this position.

The wand will slip out of the slot as it is lifted up for use and will slide into the slot as it is lowered for storage.

THERMAL PROTECTOR

This vacuum cleaner has a thermal

protector which automatically trips to protect the vacuum cleaner from overheating. If a clog prevents the normal flow of air to the motor, the thermal protector turns the motor off automatically. This allows the motor to cool in order to prevent possible damage to the vacuum cleaner.

To correct problem: Turn the vacuum

cleaner off and unplug the power cord from the outlet to allow the vacuum

cleaner to cool and the thermal protector

to reset. Check for and remove clogs, if necessary. Also check and replace any clogged filters. Wait approximately

thirty (30) minutes and plug the vacuum cleaner in and turn back on to see if the motor protector has reset.

PERFORMANCE		INDICATOR
When the	unit	Performance
is running	with	Indicator
normal air flow,
the light on the
performance
indicator	is off.
The light
comes on
whenever	the
airflow
becomes

blocked. If that occurs, check the disposable dust bag, motor safety filter and other possible clog locations shown in

HOW YOUR VACUUM CLEANER

WORKS,

To correct problem: See the TROUBLE- SHOOTING table.

Note: The light may also come on when using attachments, due to reduced airflow through the attachment.

STAIR GRIP

During normal operation while the vacuum cleaner is in the horizontal position, the caster wheel rotates freely 360 °.

The Stair Grip feature allows the caster wheel to lock in

position when the unit is rotated 25 ° from horizontal into a vertical

position in order for the vacuum

cleaner to rest on stairs.
