THERMAL PROTECTOR

This vacuum cleaner has a thermal protector
which automatically trips to protect the
vacuum cleaner from overheating. If a clog

prevents the normal flow of air to the motor,

the thermal protector turns the motor off
automatically. This allows the motor to cool

in order to prevent possible damage to the

vacuum cleaner.

To correct problem:

Turn the vacuum

cleaner off and unplug the power cord from
the outlet to allow the vacuum cleaner to
cool and the thermal protector to reset.

Check for and remove clogs, If
necessary. Also check and replace any

clogged filters. Wait approximately thirty

(30) minutes and plug the vacuum

cleaner in and turn back on to see if the

motor protector has reset.

HOW YOURVACUUM CLEANER WORKS

The vacuum cleaner creates suction that
picks up dirt. Rapidly moving air carries

the dirt to the dust bag through the

airflow passages. The dust bag lets

the air pass through, while it traps

the dirt.

For best cleaning results, keep

the airflow passage open.

Check the starred areas
occasionally for clogs.
Unplug from outlet
before checking.
