Suggested Pile Height Settings - Kenmore 116.29229 Use & Care Manual

SUGGESTED PILE HEIGHT SETTINGS
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
shutting off. Suggested settings are:
HI - Shag, deep pile, or scatter rugs.
MED - Medium to deep pile.
LO - Low to medium pile.
XLO - Most carpets and bare floors.

TO CHECK FOR CLOGS:
Check dust bag and change if full.
Check motor safety filter and exhaust
filter and replace if dirty.
Check PowerMate ® for any dirt or debris
in the belt path area or in the agitator
area. Carefully remove any string or
debris located on the agitator or end
caps.
If the vacuum cleaner still has poor suction,
do the following:
Connect the hose to the canister and turn
vacuum cleaner on. Check the end of the
hose for suction. If there is good suction
on the hose handle, there is no clog in the
hose. If the suction is bad, remove any dirt
or debris in the hose and handle.
2. Connect hose handle to wand. Check the
end of the wand for suction. If there is
good suctionat the end of the wand,
there is no clog in the wand. If the
suction is bad, remove any dirt or debris
in the wand.
3. Check PowerMate ® swivel. Remove any
dirt or debris.
