Dirt Sensor - Kenmore 116.21714 Use & Care Manual

DIRT SENSOR
Although the dirt sensor feature in your
Kenmore PowerMate ® is designed for
years of trouble free use, the passage of
dirt through the air passage system can
coat the lenses causing the green light to
come on and stay on - never switching to
red. When this happens the lenses must
be cleaned.
_CAUTION
Never use water or any cleaning solution
when cleaning the lenses. The residue of
the water or cleaners will accelerate the
recaatlng of the lenses and make cleaning
necessary sooner.
TO CLEAN THE LENSES
1. Remove the wand from the PowerMate
by pressing the quick release pedal and
lifting up on the wand.
