DIRT SENSOR
Although the dirt sensor feature In your
Kenmore Power-Mate® Is designed for years of
trouble free use, the passage of dirt through
the air passage system can coat the lens
causing the green light to come on and stay
on - never sv/Itching to red. When this happens
the lenses must be cleaned.
CAUTION
Never use water or any cleaning solution
when cleaning the lenses. The residue of
the water or cleaners will accelerate the
recoating of the lenses and make
cleaning necessary sooner.
