SUGGESTED PILE HEIGHT SETTINGS
Attention: Refer to your carpet manufacturers cleaning recommendations.
Some more delicate carpets may require that they be vacuumed with the PowerMate brushroll turned off to prevent carpet damage.

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, super-soft, or ultraplush carpets, and scatter rugs.
MED – Medium to deep pile.
LO – Low to medium pile.
XLO – The preferred setting for many carpets and also for bare floors.

NOTE: To protect bare floors, slide the 3- way On/Off switch to the FLOOR position to turn off rotation.


DO NOT leave the PowerMate running in one spot for any length of time. Damage to carpet may occur.


Product Damage Hazard
Use care if the PowerMate and wand is left in the upright position as it may tip over easily. Property damage can occur if tipped.

VACUUMING TIPS

FOR BEST CLEANING RESULTS

  • Slide suction control toward HIGH to increase suction for carpets, and bare floors.
    Increase suction for upholsteries, carpets, and bare floors.
  • Slide suction control towards LOW POWER to decrease suction for lightweight rugs or drapes
    Decrease suction for draperies and lightweight rugs.
  • Keep the airflow passage open. Check each assembly area in REMOVING CLOGS occasionally for clogs.


Turn off and unplug vacuum cleaner from outlet before checking for clogs.

SUGGESTED SWEEPING PATTERN

For best cleaning action, the PowerMate should be pushed straight away from you and pulled straight back. At the end of each pull stroke, the direction of the PowerMate should be changed to point into the next section to be cleaned. This pattern should be continued across the carpet with slow, gliding motions.

NOTE: Fast, jerky strokes do not provide complete cleaning.

EDGE CLEANER

Active brush edge cleaners are on both sides of the PowerMate. Guide either side of the PowerMate along base-boards or next to furniture to help remove dirt trapped at carpet edges.

ATTACHMENTS


DO NOT attach or remove handle or wands while vacuum cleaner is ON. This could cause sparking and damage the electrical contacts or electronic controls.

ATTACHMENT STORAGE

This vacuum cleaner is equipped with onboard attachment storage. The floor brush is stored in the canister, and the dusting brush and crevice tool are stored in the attachment holder on the wand. See ATTACHMENT USE TABLE.

PERFORMANCE/SAFETY FEATURES


Personal Injury Hazard
To avoid accidental brushroll starting, always turn off and unplug the vacuum cleaner before cleaning the brushroll area. Failure to do so can result in personal injury.

OVERLOAD PROTECTOR

The PowerMate has built-in protection against motor and belt damage should the brushroll jam. If the brushroll slows down or stops, the overload protector shuts off the PowerMate and the brushroll status indicator emits red light. The canister motor will continue to run.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION FEATURE

To correct problem: Turn off and unplug vacuum cleaner, remove obstruction, then turn on the vacuum cleaner again. The brushroll status indicator will be off. If the PowerMate motor still does not run after restart, immediately discontinue use and call 1-877-531-7321 (US) / 1-844-608-3081 (CA) for assistance.

CHECK BAG INDICATOR

When the vacuum cleaner is running with normal airflow, the CHECK BAG indicator is green. The indicator turns to dark red whenever the airflow becomes blocked. If that occurs, check the disposable dust bag, motor safety filter and other possible clog locations shown in REMOVING CLOGS.

To correct problem: See "Check Bag Indicator activates" in TROUBLESHOOTING.

NOTE: The indicator may activate when using certain attachments due to reduced airflow through attachment.

THERMAL PROTECTOR

This vacuum cleaner has a thermal protector which automatically trips to protect the vacuum cleaner from overheating. If a clog prevents the normal flow of air to the motor, the thermal protector turns the motor off automatically. This allows the motor to cool in order to prevent possible damage to the vacuum cleaner.

To correct problem: Turn off and unplug vacuum cleaner to allow the vacuum cleaner to cool and the thermal protector to reset. Check for and remove clogs, if necessary. Also check and clean or replace any clogged filters. Wait approximately fifty (50) minutes and plug the vacuum cleaner in and turn back on to see if the motor protector has reset.

If the canister motor does not resume operation after the reset procedure described above, immediately discontinue use and call 1-877-531-7321 (US) / 1-844-608-3081 (CA) for assistance.

CANISTER CARE

REMOVING CLOGS

The vacuum cleaner creates suction that picks up dirt. Rapidly moving air carries the dirt to the dust bag through the airflow passages. The dust bag lets the air pass through, while it traps the dirt.
For best cleaning results, keep the airflow passage open. Check the starred ( ) areas occasionally for clogs. Turn off and unplug vacuum cleaner from outlet before checking.
CANISTER CARE - REMOVING CLOGS

TO CHECK FOR CLOGS:

  • Check dust bag and change if full. See DUST BAG CHANGING.
  • Check motor safety filter and exhaust filter and clean or replace if dirty.
    See MOTOR SAFETY FILTER CLEANING and EXHAUST FILTER CHANGING.
  • Check PowerMate for any dirt or debris in the belt path area or in the brushroll area. Carefully remove any string or debris located on the brushroll or end caps. See TO CLEAN BRUSHROLL.

If the vacuum cleaner still has poor suction, do the following:

  1. 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 suction at 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.

CLEANING EXTERIOR AND ATTACHMENTS

  1. Turn off and unplug vacuum cleaner. DO NOT drip water on vacuum cleaner.
  2. To clean exterior, or to reduce static electricity and dust build-up, wipe outer surface with a clean, soft cloth that has been dipped in a solution of mild liquid detergent and water, then wrung dry. Wipe dry after cleaning.


Do not use attachments if they are wet. Attachments used in dirty areas, such as under a refrigerator, should not be used on other surfaces until they are washed. They could leave marks.

DUST BAG CHANGING

For best cleaning results, the dust bag should be changed often. The CHECK BAG indicator will come on when the bag needs to be changed or the airflow is blocked.

NOTE: See REPLACEMENT PARTS for part number and purchase details.

  1. Turn off and unplug vacuum cleaner.
  2. Remove hose from canister.
  3. Squeeze the hood release button, then lift canister hood.
  4. Pull bag out of the bag mount.
    NOTE: The bag mount will flip forward after removing bag. This will prevent the hood from closing until a new bag is installed.
    DUST BAG CHANGING - Step 1 - Pull the bag out
  5. Check the motor safety filter and clean or, if necessary, replace. See MOTOR SAFETY FILTER CLEANING.
    DUST BAG CHANGING - Step 2

NOTE: DO NOT bend or crease the middle of the cardboard when installing the bag into the bag mount slots.

  1. Rotate bag mount down and install bag into slots per illustration, pushing down until the cardboard tab locks into position and the holes align.
