Performance/Safety Features - Kenmore AllergenSeal FeatherLite MAX DU4399 Use & Care Manual

THERMAL PROTECTOR
This vacuum cleaner has a thermal
protector which automatically trips to
protect the vacuum cleaner suction motor.
If a clog prevents the normal flow of air to
the motor, the thermal protector turns the
motor off automatically. This allows the
motor to cool in order to prevent possible
damage to the vacuum cleaner.
To reset thermal protector: Turn the
vacuum cleaner off and unplug the power
cord from the outlet to allow the vacuum
cleaner to cool and the thermal protectors
to reset.
CAUTION
Always return the vacuum cleaner to
the upright position before using the
hose and attachments. Failure to do
so may result in overheating of the
brushroll motor and can cause the
thermal protectors to trip.
Check for and remove clogs, and empty
the dust cup if necessary. Also check
and clean any clogged filters. Wait
approximately 50 minutes before restarting
vacuum cleaner.
HAIR ELIMINATOR
For best performance, the motorized
nozzle is equipped with a hair eliminator
brushroll, which prevents build-up of hair,
string and other debris on the brushroll.
To remove any hair wrapped around the
brushroll, simply continue vacuuming,
allowing the brushroll to automatically
remove the hair wrap and send it to the
dust cup.

CAUTION
Moving parts! To reduce the risk of
personal injury, DO NOT touch the
brushroll when vacuum is on. Contacting
the brushroll while it is rotating can cut,
bruise or cause other injuries.
BRUSHROLL RESET
The brushroll has built-in protection against
motor damage should the brushroll jam.
If the brushroll slows down or stops, the
brushroll overload protector shuts off the
brushroll motor and the brushroll status
indicator emits a red light. The vacuum
cleaner suction motor will continue to run.
To correct problem: Turn off and unplug
vacuum cleaner, remove obstruction, then
turn on the vacuum cleaner again. The
brushroll status indicator will be off.
NOTE
: Once the brushroll motor shuts
down, clear jam from brushroll and then
restart the vacuum cleaner. If the problem
®
persists, contact the vacuum cleaner help
line for assistance.
SUCTION CONTROL
To assist with push/pull force of the
vacuum on surfaces like thick carpet, the
suction control valve can be opened to
help reduce suction. Note that for best
cleaning results, the suction control valve
must be fully closed.
· Slide to "Min" to open the suction control
and decrease suction. Opening control
decreases suction for draperies and
lightweight rugs.
