Thermal protector
An internal thermal protector has been used in your cleaner to prevent over- heating if a large item or clog gets caught in the nozzle or at the opening of the bag.
When the blockage is not removed, the thermal protector will trip and the cleaner will stop running.
If this happens, turn cleaner OFF and disconnect cleaner from electrical outlet. Then disconnect nozzle and remove obstruction. Within 15 minutes, the thermal protector will cool and auto- matically reset and cleaning may resume.
If cleaner does not operate, allow addi- tional time for thermal protector to reset.
