The vacuum cleaner switches off
automatically. The overheating light
, also comes on.
A temperature limiter switch 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 dustbag is full or contains particles
of fine dust. A heavily soiled exhaust or
dust compartment filter can also be the
cause for overheating. Switch off the
vacuum cleaner using the On/Off
switch s. Switch off at the wall socket
and remove the plug.
After removing the cause, wait for
approximately 20 - 30 minutes to allow
the vacuum cleaner to cool down. It
can then be switched on again.
