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.

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.

116.25513, 116.25512 specifications

The Kenmore 116.25512 and 116.25513 are two highly regarded models in Kenmore's lineup of vacuum cleaners, known for their efficiency, reliability, and user-friendly features. Both models are designed to cater to a variety of cleaning needs, making them suitable for households with different lifestyles and floor types.

One of the standout features of the Kenmore 116.25512 and 116.25513 is their powerful suction capability, thanks to their efficient motor systems. This ensures thorough cleaning on both carpets and hard floors, effectively picking up dust, dirt, and pet hair. The vacuums are equipped with multi-cyclonic technology, which separates dirt and debris from the air, maintaining optimum performance without losing suction power over time.

Both models come with a variety of attachments that enhance their versatility. The included tools often feature a combination of a crevice tool and a dusting brush, allowing users to easily reach tight spaces and delicate surfaces. The telescoping wand offers added reach for high or hard-to-access areas, making cleaning less of a chore.

Another significant characteristic of these models is their advanced filtration system. They utilize a HEPA filtration system that captures 99.97% of allergens and particulates as small as 0.3 microns. This is particularly beneficial for allergy sufferers, as it helps ensure that dust and allergens are trapped inside the vacuum and not released back into the air during cleaning.

Design-wise, the Kenmore 116.25512 and 116.25513 are user-friendly. The lightweight design makes them easy to maneuver, and the ergonomic handle adds comfort during prolonged use. Additionally, the large capacity dustbin means fewer trips to the trash, providing convenience and efficiency in cleanup.

In terms of noise level, these models operate relatively quietly compared to many other vacuums in the same category, allowing users to clean without disturbing the entire household.

Overall, the Kenmore 116.25512 and 116.25513 provide a balanced mix of power, convenience, and advanced technology. Whether users need to tackle pet hair on carpets or maintain a clean hard floor, these vacuums stand out as reliable companions in the quest for a clean home. With their thoughtful features and solid performance, they are well-suited to meet the demands of modern living.
