1.Turn the cleaner OFF and disconnect it from the electrical outlet.

2.Check Primary Filter, HEPA Filter, and Umbrella Tube for dirt accumulation.

3.Refer to “Troubleshooting” section.

4.When cleaner is unplugged and the motor cools for 30 minutes, the thermal protector automatically resets and cleaning may continue.

If the thermal protector continues to activate after following the above steps, your cleaner may need servicing (see “Service” section).
