Kenmore 116.23513 Vacuum Cleaner User Manual


 
The vacuum cleaner creates suction that
picks up dirt. Rapidly moving air carries the
dirt to the dust bag through the airflow pas-
sages. The dust bag lets the air pass
through, while it traps the dirt.
For best cleaning results, keep the airflow
passage open. Check the starred areas
occasionally for clogs. Unplug from
outlet before checking.
BAG CHANGING
For best cleaning results, the dust bag
should be changed often. The electronic/
mechanical bag/hose check indicator will
come on when the bag needs to be changed
or the airflow is blocked.
NOTE: See PARTS AND FEATURES for
Bag Number.
