ing system. Each time the power cord is
extended a cleaning cam located inside the
dust bin rotates and cleans the filter.
POWER-MATE® STORAGE
The lower wand has
a “U” shaped flange
in the area where
the power cord
attaches. The canis­
ter has a “U”
shaped slot near '
the rear of the canis­
ter.
The slot allows the wands and Power-Mate®
to be stored with the canister to conserve
storage space.
The wand will slip out of the slot as it is lift­
ed up for use and will slide into the slot as it
is lowered for storage.
THERMAL PROTECTOR
This vacuum has a thermal protector which
automatically trips to protect the vacuum
from overheating. The thermal protector
turns the motor off automatically to allow the
motor to cool in order to prevent possible
damage to the vacuum.
To reset Turn off and unplug the vacuum
from the outlet to allow the vacuum to cool.
Check for and remove any clogs. Also
check and replace any clogged filters. Wait
approximately 30 minutes and plug the
vacuum in and turn back on to see if the
thermal protector has reset. In some cases,
the unit may suddenly restart. DO NOT
leave unattended while plugged in.
