Carrying handle

the carrying handle.
C
when the cleaner is first turned on. After a
few seconds, the red light will go off and
the green light will come on. Cleaning
may then begin.
The green light will remain on through-
out cleaning except when the detector
senses that a larger amount of dirt is
being picked up; then the red light will
come on.
When the red light is on, you should take
additional cleaning strokes in the area
until it changes to green.
•The red light may seldom come on
during cleaning. This means that your
cleaner is picking up primarily fine
surface dust and lint which the system
may not detect, or that the carpet is
generally clean. To increase the feature’s
sensitivity to dirt, set the switch (B) to
the “Hi” position.
•At other times, the red light may stay
on for a considerable amount of time.
This means that the carpet contains a
high level of dirt which is being removed
by the cleaner. To decrease the
feature’s sensitivity to dirt, set the
switch to the “Reg.” (Regular) position.
Electronic performance
indicator (some models only)
The amber colored indicator (C) is
accurate when cleaning only carpet and
not when using the tools. It will light up
under two conditions:
1. When the light flashes, cleaning
performance is severely reduced and the
filter bag should be replaced right away
in order to return the performance to an
effective level.
2. If the light continues to flash, after
changing the bag, check for blockages in
the nozzle, hose, tools or at the filter bag
opening. Remove the blockage (see
“Clearing blockages” section) in order to
restore maximum cleaning performance.
