Performance/Safety Features; Suction Control - Kenmore FeatherLite DU1099 Manual De Uso Y Cuidado

BY-PASS VALVE
This vacuum cleaner has a By-Pass Valve
which prevents the motor from overheating
and damage. The valve opens to provide
cooling air when a clog prevents normal
air flow to the vacuum cleaner suction
motor. You will notice a change of sound
as air rushes through the valve opening.
To correct the problem: remove any clogs,
check and replace filters if needed, check
and empty dust cup if needed.
NOTE
: The By-Pass Valve may open
when using attachments or when cleaning
new carpet due to reduced airflow or air
path is blocked, caused by the attachments
themselves or by new carpet lint filling the
dust cup quickly.
HAIR ELIMINATOR
For best performance, the floor nozzle is
equipped with a hair eliminator
which prevents build-up of hair, string and
other debris on the brushroll.To remove any
hair wrapped around the brushroll, simply
continue vacuuming, allowing the brushroll
to automatically remove the hair wrap and
send it to the dust cup.

NOTE:
Always keep the brushroll free
of carpet fiber, string, or hair build-up
to maintain a longer life of the brushroll
belt. If for some reason the brushroll does
become entangled by any string or hair,
stop using the vacuum and clean the
brushroll immediately.
CAUTION
Moving parts! To reduce the risk of
personal injury, DO NOT touch the
brushroll when vacuum is on. Contacting
the brushroll while it is rotating can cut,
bruise or cause other injuries.

SUCTION CONTROL

To assist with push/pull force of the
vacuum on surfaces like thick carpet, the
suction control valve can be opened to
help reduce suction. Note that for best
cleaning results, the suction control valve
must be fully closed.
· Slide to right to open the suction control
and decrease suction. Opening control
decreases suction for draperies and
lightweight rugs.
· Slide to left to close the suction control
and increase suction. Closing control
increases suction for upholstery and
carpets.
