Before contacting your Pansonic service centre, check the following points:
NOTE: Failure to correctly maintain your product, for example regular cleaning and unblocking, may result in a charge if referred
to a service agent for attention.
CAUTION:DISCONNECT from the mains socket before carrying out any kind of maintenance
operation.

THERMAL CUT-OUT
This vacuum cleaner is fitted with a thermal cut-out device which automatically turns off the vacuum cleaner to prevent
overheating of the motor. When this happens, disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the mains socket and check the dust bin and
filters 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.
- 6 -
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.
F) 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 (page 14).
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 (page 14).
G) THERMAL CUT-OUT
CAUTION: Do not block motor protector.
E) 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 having finished using the accessories, re-insert the hose to the suction pipe inlet.
To avoid accidental injury,
keep children away from the
beater bar while in
operation.
Connect any of the accessories, as indicated.
