feature

With red and green lights (A), the ‘Dirt
FINDER’ system alerts the user to areas of

attention. It is able to sense when larger

ture is ready, the red light will come on

when the cleaner is first turned on. After
a few seconds, the red light will go off
and the

green light

will come on.

Cleaning may then begin.

The

green light will remain on

through-

out cleaning

except

when the detector

senses that a

larger amount of dirt

being picked up; then the

red light

will

come on.

When the

red light

is on, you should

take additional cleaning strokes

in the

area until it changes to green.

•The red light may seldom come on dur-
ing cleaning. This means that your
cleaner is picking up primarily fine sur-
face dust and lint which the system may
not detect, or that the carpet is generally
clean.

To increase

the feature’s

sensi-

tivity to dirt

, set the switch (B) to the

“Hi”

position.

•At other times, the red light may stay on
for a considerable amount of time. This

means that the carpet contains a high
level of dirt which is being removed by
the cleaner.

To decrease

the feature’s

sensitivity to dirt

, set the switch to the

“Reg.”

(Regular) position.
