THERMAL PROTECTOR

cool in order to prevent possible damage
to the vacuum cleaner.

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 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 problem persists, have the vacuum
cleaner serviced by a Sears or other
qualified service agent.
