To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). The plug will fit in
a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
Afin de réduire le risque de choc électrique, cet appareil est muni d’une fiche polarisée (une des lames est plus large). Cette
fiche ne peut étre insérée dans une prise polarisée que d’une seule façon. Si la fiche ne peut étre insérée dans la prise,
retourner la fiche. Si la fiche ne peut toujours pas étre inséree dans la prise, faire installer une prise adéquate par un
électricien qualifié. Ne pas modifier la fiche.

Automatic Motor Shut-Off
To protect from overheating, this vacuum cleaner is equipped with a thermostat which automatically shuts off the motor if it
overheats. Should this happen:
1. Turn off the switch and unplug the cleaner because the thermostat will allow the cleaner to automatically start running
again when the motor cools (approximately 30 minutes);
2. Check the hose, bag, and filters as a clogged hose, full bag, or dirty filters could cause the motor to overheat; and
3. Call a Eureka Service Station if the cleaner will not operate after cooling for approximately 30 minutes.
