12.

Maintenance

This appliance has been designed with a temperature controller which automatically
cuts off the power supply to the motor to prevent overheating. If the air-inlet or air­outlet pipe is overloaded or blocked, the temperature of the motor rises, causing the
temperature controller to cut off the power supply, allowing the motor to cool and
preventing the cleaner from being damaged.

If the temperature controller is activated, pull out the power cable immediately to allow
the cleaner to cool. Check and remove any debris that may be blocking the air inlet,
floor head or the aluminum rod, or replace the filters if required.

After allowing the motor to cool for 30 minutes, plug in the power cable and check
whether the temperature controller has been reset.

Storage

It is recommended that you store everything in its original packing and box

IMPORTANT! Store your vacuum cleaner in a dry, clean area.
Exposure to the elements can damage the product. As with all
electrical devices, exposure to water is a safety hazard.
