Thermal Protector

This vacuum cleaner has an internal thermal protector which automatically trips to protect

the vacuum cleaner from overheating.

If a clog prevents the normal flow of air to the motor, the thermal protector turns the motor

off automatically. This allows the motor to cool in order to prevent possible damage to the

vacuum cleaner.

To correct problem:

➢ Turn the vacuum cleaner off and unplug the mains lead from the mains socket to allow

the vacuum cleaner to cool and the thermal protector to reset.

➢ Check for and remove clogs, if necessary (See REMOVING CLOGS p. 10). Also

check and replace any clogged filters and empty dust cup, if necessary.

➢ Wait approximately fifty (50) minutes and then plug the vacuum cleaner in and turn

back on to see if the motor protector has reset.

Motor Protection System

Motor Protector

This vacuum cleaner also has a motor

protector bypass valve which prevents

motor overheating and damage. The valve

opens to provide cooling air when a clog

prevents normal air flow to the vacuum

cleaner suction motor. You will notice a

change of sound as air rushes through the

valve opening.

To correct problem:

➢

Empty the dust cup and clean the primary filter and pre-filter.

➢

Check for and remove clogs, and empty dust cup if necessary. See REMOVING CLOGS

(page 10).

NOTE: Do not block motor protector.

NOTE: The motor protector may open when using attachments or when cleaning new carpet

due to reduced airflow caused by the attachments themselves or by new carpet.

Removing Clogs

ROUTINE CARE OF VACUUM CLEANER

The vacuum cleaner creates suction that picks up dirt. Rapidly moving air carries the dirt to the

dust cup through the airflow passages. The dust cup lets the air pass through, while it traps

the dirt.

For best cleaning results, keep the airflow passage open. Check the starred areas

occasionally for clogs. Turn off and unplug vacuum cleaner from outlet before checking.

Cleaning Exterior and Tools

➢ Unplug mains lead from wall outlet.

➢ Clean exterior using a clean, soft cloth that has been dipped in a solution of mild liquid

detergent and water and wrung dry.

➢ DO NOT drip water on vacuum cleaner. Wipe dry after cleaning.

➢ DO NOT clean tools in dishwasher or clothes washer.

➢ Wash tools in warm soapy water, rinse and air dry.

➢ DO NOT use tools if they are wet.
