Automatic Motor Shut-Off
To protect from overheating, this vacuum cleaner is
equipped with a thermostat which automatically shuts off
the suction 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 dust cup and filter regularly, as a full dust
cup or dirty filter could cause the motor to overheat.
3. Call a Eureka Authorized Warranty Station if the
cleaner will not operate after cooling for approximately
30 minutes.
