Thermal Cut Off
This vacuum cleaner has a special thermostat that protects the cleaner in case of motor overheating. If the cleaner suddenly
shuts off, push the on/off switch off (0) and unplug the cleaner. Check the cleaner for a possible source of overheating such as
a full dust bag, a blocked hose or clogged filter. If these conditions are found, fix them and wait at least 30 minutes before
attempting to use the cleaner. After the 30 minute period, plug the cleaner back in and push the on/off switch on (l). If the cleaner
still does not run, then take it to a Eureka/Sanitaire Authorized Service Center for repair.
