If a minor problem occurs, it usually

can be solved quite easily when the

cause is found by using the check-

list below.

Problem: Cleaner won’t run

Problem: Cleaner/tools won’t pick up

Thermal protector

An internal thermal protector has

been designed into your cleaner to

protect it from overheating.

When the thermal protector acti-

vates, the cleaner will stop run-

ning. If this happens, proceed as

follows:

1. Turn the cleaner OFF and dis-

connect it from the electrical out-

let.

2. Check secondary and final fil-

ters for dirt accumulation.

3. Refer to “Clearing blockages”

section.

4. When cleaner is unplugged

and the motor cools for 30 min-

utes, the thermal protector automati-

cally resets and cleaning may con-

tinue.

If the thermal protector continues to

activate after following the above

steps, your cleaner may need ser-

vicing (see “Service” section).
