THERMAL PROTECTOR
This vacuum cleaner has a thermal
protector which automatically trips to
protect the vacuum cleaner from
overheating. If a clog or a ful! dust bag
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 clogs or
replace the dust bag, 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.
