Suction
For best cleaning action, the POWER-MATE TM should
be pushed straight away from you and pulled
straight back. At the end of each pull stroke, the
direction of the POWER-MATE TM should be changed
to point into the next section to be cleaned. This
pattern should be continued
across the rug with
slow, gliding motions.
NOTE: Fast,
jerky strokes
do not
provide
complete
cleaning,
Control
Carpeted stairs
need to be vacuumed
regularly. For
best cleaning results, fully close the suction control.
!
WARNING
Personal injury Hazard
Use care if canister is placed on stairs. If it falls,
personal injury orproperty damage could result.
Forbestcleaning results,
keep the airflow passage
open. Check each assembly area in HOW YOUR
VACUUM WORKS occasionally
for clogs, Unplug from
outlet before checking.
The hose swivel
allows the hose to
turn without
moving the
canister, This is
hetpful for
cleaning in small
areas. Check hose
for twisting before
pulling canister.
SENSOR
TO CLEAN THE LENSES:
The dirt sensor light system is mounted on the
POWER-MATE TM nozzle near the reset button. It
consists of a series of three red lights and one green
light,
Dirt Sensor
The lights give you an indication
of the amount of dirt
particles that are passing thru the sensor on its way to
the dust bag
_. Remove the
wands by
pressing the
quick release
pedal and
lifting up on
the wands,

INITIAL STARTUP
When the POWER-MATETMis first started, the following
sequences occurs in a two second time frame:
//Ring
i. 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 TM nozzte is placed in use.
NOTE- if the nozzie is on a surface that has dirt on it,
dirt wilt be picked up by the vacuum and one or
more red lights might stay on.
IN OPERATION
When the POWER-MATE TM 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 is still need of cleaning.
When the green light stays on as the POWER-MATE TM
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
setting.
NOTE: Looking down inside the swivel you wilt see a
ring, The sensor elements are located just slightly
below this ring,
3. Replace
the wands after cleaning
the sensors.
in bare floor
CLEANING LENS
Although the dirt sensor feature in your Kenmore
POWER-MATE TM 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,

2. As indicated by
the illustration a
dirt sensor
element is
located on the
inside of the
swivel,
approximately
three and a half
inches 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 severaI
times to remove
dust and dirt.
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.
UGGESTED
PILEHEIGHTSETTINGS
For best deep down cleaning, use the XLO setting,
However, you may need to raise the height to make
some jobs easier, such as scatter rugs and some
deep pile carpets, and to prevent the vacuum
cleaner from shufftng off, Suggested settings are:
