WARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
To avoid accidental brushroll starting,
always turn off and unplug the vacuum
cleaner before cleaning the brushroll area.
Failure to do so can result in personal
injury.
OVERLOAD PROTECTOR
The PowerMate has built-in protection against
®
motor and belt damage should the brushroll
jam. If the brushroll slows down or stops, the
overload protector shuts off the PowerMate
and the brushroll status indicator emits red
light. The canister motor will continue to run.
Brushroll Status
Indicator
To correct problem: Turn off and unplug
vacuum cleaner, remove obstruction, then
turn on the vacuum cleaner again. The
brushroll status indicator will be off.
If the problem persists, have the vacuum
cleaner serviced by a Kenmore or other
qualified service agent.
SUCTION CONTROL
The suction control located at the base
of the handle allows you to change the
vacuum airflow.
PERFORMANCE/SAFETY FEATURES
Decrease suction for draperies and
lightweight rugs by turning control to open
the airflow hole.
Increase suction for carpets, upholstery and
bare floors by turning the control to close
®
the airflow hole.
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 off and unplug
vacuum cleaner to allow the vacuum
cleaner to cool and the thermal protector
to reset. Check for and remove clogs, if
necessary. Also check and clean or
replace any clogged filters. Wait
approximately fifty (50) minutes and plug
the vacuum cleaner in and turn back on
to see if the motor protector has reset.
If the canister motor does not resume
operation after the reset procedure
described above, have the vacuum cleaner
serviced by a Kenmore or other qualified
service agent.
