featureWith red and green lights (A), the ‘DirtFINDER’ system alerts the user to areasof carpet that may need more cleaningattention. It is able to sense when largeramounts of dirt particles, especiallyembedded dirt, are removed.

To let you know that the ‘Dirt FINDER’feature is ready the red light will come onwhen the cleaner is first turned on. Aftera few seconds, the red light will go offand the green light will come on.Cleaning may then begin.The green light will remain on through-out cleaning except when the detectorsenses that a larger amount of dirt isbeing picked up; then the red light willcome on.

(Fig. 2-7 continued)When the red light is on, you shouldtake additional cleaning strokes in thearea until it changes to green.

*The red light may seldom come onduring cleaning. This means that yourcleaner is picking up primarily fine sur-face dust and lint which the system maynot detect, or that the carpet is general-ly clean. To increase the feature’s sen-sitivity to dirt, set the switch (B) to the“Hi” position.

*At other times, the red light may stayon for a considerable amount of time.This means that the carpet contains ahigh level of dirt which is beingremoved by the cleaner. To decreasethe feature’s sensitivity to dirt, set theswitch to the “Reg.” (Regular) position.

Check bag indicator(some models only)The indicator (I) will begin to show red asthe filter bag fills with dirt.

There are three conditions that will causethe indicator to become completely red:

1. If the bag is full; change the bag.

2. If very fine materials have been pickedup, clogging the bag pores; change thebag.

3. If there is a blockage at the front of thecleaner, in the hose, tools or at the bagopening; remove the blockage (see‘Clearing blockages” section).

Familiarize yourself with these homemaintenance tasks as proper use andcare of your cleaner will ensure contin-ued cleaning effectiveness.

Filter bagWhen to replaceCheck filter bag from time to time.Change the filter bag when dirt reachesthe dotted line. If more dirt than thisaccumulates, your cleaner will not oper-ate effectively.Note: All new carpet has loose fiberswhich can fill the bag quickly whilevacuuming. This type of debris doesnot activate the “Check Bag” indicator,available on some models.So, if you are using the cleaner onnew carpet, be sure to change the fil-ter bag often, even if you have a“Check Bag” indicator and it does notshow red.CAUTION: Very fine materials, suchas face powder, cornstarch, fireplaceashes or fireplace soot, may seal thefilter bag and may cause it to bursteven though it is only partially full ofdirt. When cleaner is used to removematerial of this nature, change filterbag often.
