Dirt Alert Feature - Electrolux Z1300 Series Owner's Manual

HEPA Cartridge Filters and Washable Hepa Filters.
Check the HEPA filters each time the dust cup is emptied. Replace twice a year or after every six times the dust cup is
emptied.
Maintenance of Dirt Alert Feature
The dirt alert sensor uses infra-red technology to indicate whether or not floors are clean. When debris breaks the light beam,
the red light comes on indicating additional cleaning is needed in this area. If there is no break in the light beam, the floor is
clean and no light will come on.
When using your new vacuum you may be cleaning deep down hidden dirt missed by your old vacuum causing the light to
stay red longer. With frequent cleaning, after the first few times you use your new Electrolux vacuum, the red light should go
on less.
NOTE: The dirt alert feature is not intended to be used for above the floor cleaning with attachments.
How to Check the Dirt Alert Sensors
To check if dirt sensor is working properly.
1. While the red light is on, tip the vacuum backwards on rear wheels,
lifting the brush roll off the carpet a couple of inches.
2. After a few seconds the red light should turn off.
HINT: New carpeting has loose carpet fibers which will trip
the red light sensor beam.
