Canister Care; Removing Clogs; Cleaning Exterior And Attachments - Kenmore 125.81214610 Manual De Uso Y Cuidado

The vacuum cleaner creates suction that
picks up dirt. Rapidly moving air carries
the dirt to the dust bag through the airflow
passages. 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. Turn off and unplug
vacuum cleaner from outlet
before checking.
TO CHECK FOR CLOGS:
· Check dust bag and change if full. See
DUST BAG CHANGING (page 16).
· Check motor safety filter and exhaust
filter and clean or replace if dirty. See
MOTOR SAFETY FILTER CLEANING
(page 17) and EXHAUST FILTER
CHANGING (page 18).
· Check PowerMate
in the belt path area or in the agitator
area. Carefully remove any string or
debris located on the agitator or end
caps. See TO CLEAN AGITATOR (page
20).

CANISTER CARE

REMOVING CLOGS

for any dirt or debris
®
If the vacuum cleaner still has poor
suction, do the following:
1. Connect the hose to the canister and
turn vacuum cleaner on. Check the end
of the hose for suction. If there is good
suction on the hose handle, there is no
clog in the hose. If the suction is bad,
remove any dirt or debris in the hose
and handle.
2. Connect hose handle to wand. Check
the end of the wand for suction. If
there is good suction at the end of the
wand, there is no clog in the wand. If
the suction is bad, remove any dirt or
debris in the wand.
3. Check PowerMate swivel. Remove any
dirt or debris.
CAUTION
Do not use attachments if they are wet.
Attachments used in dirty areas, such as
under a refrigerator, should not be used on
other surfaces until they are washed. They
could leave marks.
