Problem solving guide

The vacuum cleaner switches off
automatically, and the overheating
warning light , comes on.
A temperature limiter switches the
vacuum cleaner off automatically if it
gets too hot. The overheating warning
light will then come on to indicate that it
has overheated.
This can occur if, for instance, large
articles block the suction tube or when
the filter bag is full or contains particles
of fine dust. A heavily soiled exhaust or
dust compartment filter can also be the
cause of overheating. Switch the
vacuum cleaner off immediately using
the On/Off foot control s. Disconnect
from the electricity supply. Switch off at
the wall socket and remove the plug.
After removing the cause, wait for
approx. 20 - 30 minutes to allow the
vacuum cleaner to cool down. It can
then be switched on again.
