Overload Protection

Your Westinghouse WST1500 Vacuum Cleaner
has an Overload Protection System that
automatically monitors the machine's
temperature at all times and may shut off the
Vacuum Cleaner to protect the motor from
overheating. Here's what to do when this
happens:
1. Turn your Vacuum OFF and unplug it.
2. Let the Vacuum sit for 30 minutes before
turning it back ON.
3. Follow the detailed instructions in the
section entitled: “Removing A Blockage” in
this manual.
4. The Self-Resetting Overload Protector will
automatically correct itself.
5. After 30 minutes, turn the Vacuum Cleaner
back on.

YYeess.. Do not vacuum up damp materials such as
mud, tile grout, plaster-filler or caulking since
these materials could harden inside the Vacuum
Cleaner and cause damage. Also, do not pick up
large surface litter, cellophane, twine or solid
objects such as coins, paper clips, safety pins,
etc. These types of objects can easily lodge in
the rotating brush and will decrease suction and
cleaning ability.
