several times to remove dust and dirt.

IN OPERATION
When the Power-Mate _ is being moved back

from one configuration to another as more
dirt or less dirt is being vacuume& As long as
one or more red lights are on, dirt is passing
through the wand to indicate that the surface
still needs cleaning.

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

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,

will accelerate the recoating of the
lenses and make cleaning necessary

When the unit is running, the indicator window wilt be green if there are no clogs.
When the indicator turns completely red
there is a need to check the dust bag for

clogged, See HOW YOUR VACUUM
WORKS_
NOTE: Red may appear when using attachments or when cleaning new carpet, due to
reduced airflow by the attachments themselves or new carpet fuzz filling the bag
quickly.

THERMAL PROTECTOR
This vacuum has a thermal protector which
automatically trips to protect the vacuum
from overheating. The thermal protector
turns the motor off automatically to allow the
motor to cool in order to prevent possible
damage to the vacuum°
To reset: Turn off and unplug the vacuum
from the outlet to allow the vacuum to cool
Check for and remove any clogs. Also
check and replace any clogged filters.
Wait approximately
50 minutes and plug
the vacuum in and turn back on to see if
the thermal protector has reset. In some
cases, the unit may suddenly restart° DO
NOT leave unattended.

The lower
wand has a
"U" shaped
flange in the
area where
the power
cord attaches. The base
has a "U"
shaped slot
near the
front caster,
The flange allows the wands and PowerMate®to be stored with the canister to
conserve storage space° The canister
must be stored on end for this feature to be
used,
The wand will slip out of the slot as it is lifted up for use and will slide into the slot as it
is lowered for storage.
The Power-Mate ® must be in the flat position as shown in the illustration. Use the
handle release pedal to place it in this position,
NOTE: You may save space by lowering the
telescoping wand as shown in the ASSEMBLY section,

To prevent tip over, never leave
Power-Mate ® on or in the upright
position with the wand fully
extended. Moving the wand to a
lower position and turning the
handle to one side will make the
Power-Mate ® more stable and less
likely to tip over,
