to persons or damage when using your vacuum cleaner, follow basic safety pre* cautions inciuding the following:

Read this manual before assembling or

using your vacuum cleaner. Use your cleaner only as described in this

manual. Use only with Sears recommended attachments.

ing or cleaning out agitator area. Failure to do so could result in electricai shock or brush suddenly starting.

Always turn cleaner off before connecting or disconnecting the hose or Power-Mate®.

Always turn cleaner off before unplugging. Do not unplug by puiling on cord- To

unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

Hold plug when rewinding onto cord reel. Do not allow plug to whip when rewinding.

Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If cleaner is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a Sears

Service Center. Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a

handle, close door on cord, or pul! cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run cleaner over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

Do not leave cleaner when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before servicing.

VACUUIVlINGTIPS

For best cleaning action, the Power-Mate® should be pushed straight away from you and pulled straight back. At the end of each puil stroke, the direction of the Power-Mate* should be changed to point into the next section to be cleaned. This pattern should

be continued across the rug with slow, glid

ing motions.

NOTE: Fast, jerky strokes do not provide complete clean ing.

The hose swivel

allows the hose to

turn without moving

the canister. This is

helpful for cleaning

in small areas. Check hose for twisting before

puling canister.

DIRT SENSOR

SOME MODELS

The dirt sensor light system is mounted on the Power-Mate® nozzle near the reset button.

It consists of a series of three red lights and

one green iight.

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-Male® 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.

TO CLEAN THE LENSES

1. Remove the

wands by press

ing the quick

release pedal and lifting up on the

wands.

2. As indicated by the illustration, the two dirt sensor elements are located on the Inside of the swivel, approximately STz 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.

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 hap

pens the lens must be cleaned.

CAUTION

Never use water or any cleaning

solution when cleaning the ienses. The residue of the water or cleaners wii! accelerate the recoating of the

lenses and make cleaning necessary

sooner.

CAUTION
