Thermal Protector
An internal thermal protector has been designed into your cleaner to protect it from overheating.
When the thermal protector acti- vates the cleaner will stop run- ning. If this happens proceed as fol- lows:
1.Turn cleaner OFF and disconnect it from the electrical outlet.
2.Check secondary and final filters for dirt accumulation.
3.Refer to “Clearing blockages” section.
4.When cleaner is unplugged and motor cools for 30 minutes, the ther- mal protector automatically resets and cleaning may continue.
If the thermal protector continues to activate after following the above steps, your cleaner may need ser- vicing (see “Service” section).
