SOME MODELS

The dirt sensor light system is mounted on
the Power-Mate® nozzle near the reset but­
ton. It consists of a series of three red lights

and one green light.

The lights give
you an indica­
tion of the
amount of dirt

particles that

are passing
thru the sensor

on its way to

the dust bag.

INITIAL START UP

When the Power-Mate* is first started, the fol­
lowing light sequences occurs in a two sec­
ond time frame:

1. All three reds come on.

2. Two reds are on.

3. One red is on.

4. One green is on and will remain on until
the Power-Mate* nozzle 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
and one or more 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 more
dirt or less dirt is being vacuumed. As long as

one or more red lights are on, dirt is passing
through the wand to indicate that the surface
still needs cleaning.

When the green light stays on as the Power­
Mate* is moved back and forth over an area,
the sensor is not seeing enough dirt to war­

rant further cleaning of that area.

NOTE:

Dirt sensor lights

DO NOT

function in

the

FLOOR

setting.

CLEANING LENS

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 switching to red. When this
happens the lens must be cleaned.

TO CLEAN THE LENSES

1. Remove the

wands by press­

ing the quick
release pedal and
lifting up on the
wands.

. As indicated by the illustration, the two dirt

sensor elements are located on the inside of
the swivel, approximately inches/90 mm
down, (note the arrows). Each element
should be cleaned periodically. To reach the
sensor elements, use a small brush such as

a bottle brush. Brush each sensor element
several times to remove dust and dirt.

NOTE:

Looking down inside the swivel you

will see a ring. The sensor elements are
located just slightly below this ring.

3. Reinstall the wands after cleaning the sen­

sors.

A

CAUTION

Never use water or any cleaning

solution when cleaning the lenses.
The residue of the water or cleaners
wiil accelerate the recoating of the

lenses and make cleaning necessary

sooner.
