Taking care of your machine
NOTICE:
A Thermal Protector has been designed into your cleaner to protect it from overheating.
When the thermal protector activates the cleaner will stop running. If this happens
proceed as follows:
1. Turn cleaner OFF and unplug it from the electrical outlet.
2. Empty the dirt cup.
3. Inspect the nozzle inlet, hose connector, hose, dirt cup inlet, pre-motor filter, and HEPA
filter for any obstructions. Clear obstructions if present.
4. When cleaner is unplugged and motor cools off for 30 minutes, the thermal protector
will deactivate and cleaning may continue.
If the thermal protector continues to activate after following the above steps, your cleaner
needs servicing.
For best cleaning results, filters should be tapped over a bin every 4-6 uses to remove dirt and
debris and washed every 3 to 6 months (depending on the level of use). Don't use your vacuum
cleaner without all of the filters in place.
