4. Maintenance
A Thermal Protector has been designed into your cleaner to protect it from overheating. When the
thermal protector activates the cleaner will stop running.
If this happens proceed as follows:
1. Turn cleaner OFF and unplug it from the electrical outlet.
2. Empty dirt cup.
3. Inspect and remove blockage along the dirt path. This blockage may occur at the: nozzle inlet,
hose connector, hose, dirt cup inlet, cyclonic filter, Rinsable filter, and HEPA filter.
4. When cleaner is unplugged and motor cools for 30 minutes, the thermal protector will deactivate
and cleaning may continue.
If the thermal protector continues to activate after following the above steps, your cleaner
needs servicing.
