thermal motor protection

An internal thermal protector has been
designed into your cleaner to protect it from
overheating. When the thermal protector
activates, the main vacuum motor will stop
operating. If this happens, proceed as follows.
1. Turn the cleaner OFF and unplug from
electrical outlet.
2. Check the cleaner for the source of
overheating problem (i.e. full dirt cup,
dirty filters or clog).
3. Fix the problem by following the steps in
the maintenance section of the user guide.
4. When the motor cools for approximately
30 minutes, the thermal protector
automatically resets and cleaning may
continue. If the cleaner will not turn on or
the thermal protector continues to activate,
your cleaner may need servicing. Call
BISSELL Consumer Care or visit the website
to locate an authorized Service Center.
note: the thermal protector con-
trols the main vacuum motor only,
not the brush motor. if the ther-
mal protector activates, the brush
will continue to operate normally;
however, there will be no suction.
