A
Embedded
DirtFINDER™ feature
With red and green lights (A), the
DirtFINDER™ system alerts the user to
areas of carpet that may need more
cleaning attention. It is able to sense
when larger amounts of dirt particles,
especially embedded dirt, are removed.
To let you know that the DirtFINDER™
feature is ready, the red light will come
on when the cleaner is first turned on.
After a few seconds, the red light will go
off and the green light will come on.
Cleaning may then begin.

out cleaning, except when the detector
senses that a larger amount of dirt is
being picked up; then the red light will
B
come on.
When the red light is on, you should
take additional cleaning strokes in the
area until it changes to green.
• The red light may seldom come on
during cleaning. this means that your
cleaner is picking up primarily fine sur-
face dust and lint which the system may
not detect, or that the carpet is generally
clean. To increase the feature's sensi-
tivity to dirt, set the switch (B) to the
"HI" position.
• At other times, the red light may stay
on for a considerable amount of time.
This means that the carpet contains a
high level of dirt which is being removed
by the cleaner. To decrease the fea-
ture's sensitivity to dirt, set the switch
to the "REG." (Regular) position.
