Thermal cutout switch
The vacuum cleaner is equipped with a thermal cutout switch to protect it in the event that the motor
overheats. 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 hose, empty the dust container and clean the filters, if necessary.
- Wait for about 30-40 minutes to allow the motor to cool down.
- After 30-40 minutes, insert the plug in the mains socket and switch on the vacuum cleaner.
The vacuum cleaner should now work.
- If the vacuum cleaner still does not work, wait another 20 minutes and then try again.
- If the cleaner still does not work, contact an Assistance Centre.
