Thermal Protector
An internal thermal protector has
been designed into your cleaner to
protect it from overheating.
When the thermal protector acti-
vates the cleaner will stop run-
ning. If this happens proceed as fol-
lows:
1. Turn cleaner OFF and disconnect
it from the electrical outlet.
2. Check secondary and final filters
for dirt accumulation.
3. Refer to "Clearing blockages"
section.
4. When cleaner is unplugged and
motor cools for 30 minutes, the ther-
mal protector automatically resets
and cleaning may continue.
If the thermal protector continues to
activate after following the above
steps, your cleaner may need ser-
vicing (see "Service" section).
