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 Customer Care on 08706 055055.
