Although the dirt sensor feature in your
Kenmore Power-Mate ®is designed for years of
trouble free use, the passage of dirt through
the air passage system can coat the lens
causing the green light to come on and stay
on - never switching to red. When this happens
the lens must be cleaned.
CAUTION
Never use water or any cleaning
solution when cleaning the lenses. The
residue of the water or cleaners will
accelerate the recoating of the lenses
and make cleaning necessary sooner.
