Thermal Protector

This vacuum cleaner has a thermal protector, which automatically trips to protect both the vacuum cleaner and the agitator motor from overheating. If a clog prevents the normal flow of air to the motor, the thermal protector turns the motor off automatically. This allows the motor to cool in order to prevent possible damage to the vacuum cleaner.

To correct problem: Turn the vacuum cleaner off and unplug the power cord from the outlet to allow the vacuum cleaner to cool and the thermal protector to reset. Check for and remove clogs, if necessary. Also check and replace any clogged filters. Wait approximately

thirty (30) minutes and plug the vacuum cleaner in and turn back on to see if the motor protector has reset.

To correct problem: Turn off and unplug vacuum cleaner, remove obstruction, then press overload protector reset button.

If the problem persists, have the vacuum cleaner serviced by a Sears or other qualified service agent,

PERFORMANCE INDICATOR

When the unit is running with normal air flow, the light on the performance indicator is off. The light comes on whenever the airflow becomes blocked. If that occurs, check the disposable dust bag, motor
