DIRT SENSOR
The dirt sensor
light system is
mounted on the
Power-Mate*
nozzle near the
reset button.
it consists of a series of two red lights and two
green lights. The lights give you an indication
of the amount of dirt particles that are passing
through the sensor on its way to the dust bag.
yp
When the Power-Mate® is first started, the fol­
lowing light sequence occurs in a two second
time frame:
1. Two reds come on.
2. Two greens are on and will remain on until
the Power-Mate® nozzie 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
cleaner and the red lights might stay on.
IN operation
When the Power-Mate® is being moved back
and forth on the floor, the lights will change
from one configuration to another as dirt is
being vacuumed. As long as the red lights are
on, dirt is passing through the wand to Indicate
that the surface still needs cleaning.
When the green lights stay on as the Power­
Mate® is moved back and forth over an area,
the sensor is not seeing enough dirt to warrant
further cleaning of that area.
NOTE: Dirt sensor lights DO NOT function in
the FLOOR setting.
The vacuum cleaner creates suction that
picks up dirt. Rapidly moving air carries the
dirt to the dust bag through the airflow pas­
sages. The dust bag lets the air pass
through, while it traps the dirt.
For best cleaning results, keep the air­
flow passage open. Check the starred
areas occasionally for clogs. Unplug
from outlet before checking.
