ed on both sides of the front of the

Embedded DirtFINDER™
feature (some models)
With red and green lights, the
17
DirtFINDER™ system alerts the
user to areas of carpet that may need
more cleaning attention. It is able to
sense when embedded dirt is removed.
The clean light (green) will remain on
throughout cleaning except when the
detector senses that a larger amount of
dirt is being picked up; then the dirty
light (red) will come on.
When the dirty light is on, you should
take additional cleaning strokes in the
area until it changes to clean.
