Thermal Cut Off

This vacuum cleaner has a special thermostat that protects the cleaner in case of motor overheating. If the cleaner suddenly shuts off, push the on/off switch off (0) and unplug the cleaner. Check the cleaner for a possible source of overheating such as a full dustbag, a blocked hose or clogged filter. If these conditions are found, fix them and wait at least 30 minutes before at- tempting to use the cleaner. After the 30 minute period, plug the cleaner back in and push the on/off switch on (l). If the cleaner still does not run, please call Electrolux Helpline on 08445 614614. Calls to this number will be charged at 5p per minute at all times from a BT Landline.
