Kenmore 116.25914 Vacuum Cleaner User Manual


 
PERFORMANCE INDICATOR
Performance
Indicator
When the unit
is running with
normal air flow,
the light on the
performance
indicator is off.
The light
comes on
whenever the
airflow
becomes blocked. If that occurs, check
the disposable dust bag, motor safety filter
and other possible clog locations shown in
HOW YOUR VACUUM CLEANER
WORKS.
To correct problem: See the TROUBLE-
SHOOTING table.
Note: The light may also come on when
using attachments, due to reduced airflow
through the attachment.
STAIR GRIP
During normal operation while the canister is
in the horizontal position, the caster wheel
rotates freely 360 °.
The Stair Grip
feature allows
the caster
wheel to lock in
position when
the unit is
rotated 25"
from horizontal
into a vertical
position in order for the canister to rest on
stairs.
WAND LIGHT
This unit is equipped with a
light on the extension wand.
This light will operate only
when the unit is in CARPET
mode (see HOW TO
START). The light will
operate when attached or not
attached to the Power-
Mate@.
The light can be used for lighting hard to
reach locations.
POWER-MATE ®STORAGE
The wand has a "U" A
shaped flange that m
All,,
slides into the =U"
...lB._
shaped slot on the V
canister
The flange allows the
wands and Power-
Mate®to be stored
with the canister to
conserve storage space. The canister
must be stored on end for this feature to
be used.
To attach the Power-Mate ®, it must be in
the fiat position as shown in the
illustration. Use the handle release pedal
to place it in this position.
The wand will slip out of the slot as it is lifted
up for use and will slide into the slot as it is
lowered for storage.
THERMAL PROTECTOR
This vacuum cleaner has a thermal
protector which automatically trips to protect
the vacuum cleaner from overheating. If a
clog prevents the normal flow of air to the
motor, the thermal protector turns the
motor off automatically. This allows the
motor to cool in order to prevent possible
damage to the vacuum cleaner.
To correct problem: Turn the vacuum
cleaner off and unplug the power cord
from the outlet to allow the vacuum
cleaner to cool and the thermal protector
to reset. Check for and remove dogs, if
necessary. Also check and replace any
clogged filters. Wait approximately
thirty (30) minutes and plug the vacuum
cleaner in and turn back on to see if the
motor protector has reset.
