DIRT SENSOR

SOME MODELS

The electronic dirt sensor is a feature which will detect particles as they pass through the vacuum cleaner.

The dirt sensor indicators and sensor

sensitivity switch are located on the front of the switch cover.

A red light indicates dirt is being picked up by the cleaner. A green light indicates most of the dirt has been picked up by the cleaner.

OPERATION

As you vacuum, the red indicator light will come on and stay on as long as the sensor detects a high concentration of particles passing through the cleaner.

The green light indicates that most of the cleaning is complete.

The sensor switch allows you to select the sensitivity of the dirt sensor. The switch can be set to HI (+) or LO (-) sensitivity.

Set the sensor switch to the HI (+) position when:

Cleaning bare floors.

Cleaning carpet with low pile height.

Set the sensor switch to the LO (-) position when:

Cleaning heavily soiled areas.

Cleaning carpet with deep pile.

Cleaning new carpets.

Even with the sensor switch in the LO (-) position, the dirt sensor will detect carpet fuzz, especially on new carpet, which may cause the red light to remain on longer than expected.

TO CLEAN DIRT SENSOR OPTICS

The dirt sensor optics consist of two optic cells located inside the bag holder. Occasionally, it may become necessary to clean the two optic cells to assure maximum performance. It is recommended the optic cells be cleaned:

When the red light stays on continuously.

When the green light stays on continuously.

When dirt or dust adheres to the optic cells.

Whenever the dust bag is changed.

To clean the sensor, wipe the optic cells with a soft, dry cloth. Never use cleaners or liquids as they can help speed the recoating of the optic cells and make it necessary to clean them much sooner than normal. The dirt sensor area can be reached by removing the dust cover and the dust bag.
