Personal Injury Hazard
Use care if vacuum cleaner is
placed on stairs. If it falls, personal
injury or property damage could
result.
Carpet edges
Guide either side or the front of the nozzle
along a baseboard. The full length brushes
help remove trapped dirt at carpet edges.
Stairs
Put handle in full upright position. Use the
crevice tool or dusting brush. Set the On/Off
switch to ON.
MOTOR PROTECTION
SYSTEM
Thermal Protector
This vacuum has a thermal protector which
automatically trips to protect the vacuum
from overheating. If a clog prevents the
normal flow of air to the motor, the thermal
protector turns the motor off automatically to
allow the motor to cool in order to prevent
possible damage to the vacuum.
To correct problem:
If this occurs, turn the
vacuum off and unplug the power cord from
the outlet to allow the vacuum to cool and
the thermal protector to reset. Check for
and remove clogs, if necessary. Also
check and clean/replace any clogged
filters. Wait approximately
thirty (30)
minutes and plug the vacuum in and turn
back on to see if the motor protector has
reset. The motor protector will not reset if
the vacuum is not turned off even if the
vacuum has cooled down.
PERFORMANCE
INDICATOR
SOME
MODELS
When the unit is running with normal air
flow, the light on the performance indicator
is off. The light comes on whenever the
airflow becomes blocked. If that occurs,
check the dust bin, clean/replace
clogged
filters, and check other possible clog
locations shown in CLOG REMOVAL.
To correct problem: See the TROUBLE-
SHOOTING chart.
NOTE: The
light may
also come on
when using
attachments,
due to
reduced
airflow
through the
attachment.
