Automatic Motor Shut-Off
To protect from overheating, this vacuum cleaner is equipped with a thermostat which automatically shuts off the motor if it overheats. Should this happen:
1.Turn off the switch and unplug the cleaner because the thermostat will allow the cleaner to automatically start running again when the motor cools (approximately 30 minutes).
2.Check the hose, bag and filter regularly, as a clogged hose, full bag or dirty filter could cause the motor to overheat.
3.Call a Eureka Service Station if the cleaner will not op- erate after cooling for approximately 30 minutes.
