ed up for use and will slide into the slot as it is towered for storage.

THERMAL PROTECTOR

This vacuum has a thermal protector which automalically trips to protect the vacuum from overheating. The thermal protector turns the motor off automatically to allow the motor to cool in order to prevent possible damage to the vacuum.

To reset: Turn off and unplug the vacuum from the outlet to allow the vacuum to cool

Check for and remove any clogs. Also check and replace any clogged filters. Wait approximately 50 minutes and plug the vacuum in and turn back on to see if the thermal protector has reset. In some cases, the unit may suddenly restart DO NOT leave unattended.

Page 12

HOW YOUR VACUUM WORKS

The vacuum cleaner creates suction that picks up dirt. Rapidly moving air carries the dirt to the dust bag through the airflow passages. The dust bag 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.

Unplug from outlet before checking
