THERMAL CUT-OUT

This vacuum cleaner is fitted with a thermal cut-out device which automatically turns off the vacuum cleaner to prevent over-

heating of the motor. When this happens, disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the mains socket and check the dust bin and fil-

ters as it may be full or clogged with fine dust. Check for any other obstructions.

After emptying the dust bin or removing the obstruction, leave the vacuum cleaner to cool down until the thermal cut-out resets

after approximately 40 minutes.

IMPORTANT: The thermal cut-out will not reset if the vacuum cleaner is not disconnected from the mains socket.

MAINS LEAD

IMPORTANT: If the mains lead becomes damaged, it must be repaired by Panasonic, authorised service centre or a

qualified person in order to avoid any hazard.

- 7 -

This vacuum cleaner has a thermal cut-out which

automatically trips to protect the vacuum cleaner from

overheating. If a clog prevents the normal flow of air to the

motor, the thermal cut-out turns the motor off automatically to

allow the motor to cool in order to prevent possible damage to

the vacuum cleaner.

To correct problem: If this occurs, turn the vacuum cleaner

off and unplug the vacuum cleaner from the mains outlet to

allow the vacuum cleaner to cool and the thermal cut-out to

reset. Check for and remove clogs, if necessary. Also

check and clean/replace any clogged filters. Wait

approximately forty (40) minutes before switching on the

vacuum cleaner. The motor protector will not reset if the

vacuum cleaner is not disconnected from the mains

socket even if the vacuum cleaner has cooled down.

H) MOTOR PROTECTOR

Motor Protector

This vacuum cleaner has a motor protector by-pass valve

which automatically opens to provide cooling air to the

motor when a clog prevents the normal flow of air to the

motor. If the by-pass valve opens to prevent motor

overheating and possible damage to the vacuum cleaner,

you will notice a change of sound as air rushes through the

valve opening.

To correct problem: See the TROUBLE-SHOOTING

guide.

NOTE: The motor protector may open when using

attachments or when cleaning new carpet, due to reduced

airflow by the attachments themselves or by new carpet

fluff filling the dust bin quickly. See the TROUBLE-

SHOOTING guide.

I ) THERMAL CUT-OUT

CAUTION:

Do not block motor protector.

G) HOW TO USE THE ACCESSORIES

CAUTION:While using

the accessories, hold the

handle with one hand to

avoid pulling the vacuum

cleaner over.

Lift out accessories needed.

NOTE: After using the accessories, re-insert the hose to the connector pipe.

To avoid accidental injury,

keep children away from the

agitator while in operation.

Connect any of the accessories, as indicated.
