This vacuum cleaner has a special thermostat that protects the vacuum cleaner in case of motor
overheating. If the vacuum suddenly shuts off, proceed as follows: 1) Check the vacuum for
a possible source of overheating such as a full dust cup or clogged filter. If these conditions are
found, fix them and wait at least 30 minutes before attempting to use the vacuum.
2) After the 30 minute period, press the power button. If the vacuum still does not work, call the
Eureka Customer Service HELPLINE at 1-800-282-2886.
