cleaned periodically. If your filters are washable make sure they are
completely dry before inserting back into the vacuum cleaner.

for any reason the unit should overheat, the thermostat will
automatically turn the unit off. Should this occur, unplug the vacuum
cleaner from the electrical
socket and turn off the switch. Remove dirt
container and empty. Clean filters. Allow the unit to cool for
approximately one (1) hour. To re-start, plug into an electrical outlet
and switch
back on.
This vacuum cleaner is intended for household use only and NOT for
commercial or industrial use.
