TROUBLESHOOTING
Thermal cutout switch
The vacuum cleaner is equipped with a thermal cutout switch to protect it in the event that the motor over-
heats. If the vacuum cleaner suddenly switches off by itself, proceed as follows:
- Switch off the vacuum cleaner and unplug it from the mains power.
- Look for the origin of the overheating (blocked suction pipe, dirty filter, etc.)
- Clean the pipe, empty the dust bag, and clean the filter, if necessary.
- Wait for about 30-40 minutes to allow the motor to cool down.
