THERMAL PROTECTION
A thermal protector has been designed into your
cleaner to protect it from overheating. When
the thermal protector activates the cleaner
will stop running. If this happens proceed as
follows:
1. Turn cleaner OFF (and remove battery pack).
2. Empty dirty water tank.
3. Inspect the nozzle for any obstructions.
Clear obstructions if present.
4. When cleaner is de-energized and motor
cools for 30 minutes, the thermal protector
will deactivate and cleaning may continue.
If the thermal protector continues to activate
after following the above steps, your cleaner
needs servicing.
Have servicing performed by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the product is
maintained.
