Safety Features - Eureka 6230 Series Owner's Manual

The brush roller in the cleaning head rotates at high speed and can cause damage
to the electrical cord if the cleaner passes over it during cleaning operations.
Care should be taken to ensure that this does not happen.
If the cleaning head has accidentally passed over the electrical cord the following action
should be taken:
1. Switch off and remove the plug from the electrical outlet.
2. Examine the electrical cord for damage (only after removing the plug from the
electrical outlet).
3. If there is any sign of damage to the electrical cord it MUST be replaced; we
recommend that this should be carried out by an authorized Eureka Service Center.
4. NEVER use the machine with a damaged electrical cord.
While using the accessories the brush roller of the cleaner continues to rotate,
therefore we advise against allowing the vacuum cleaner to run on the same spot
for long periods as this could cause over-brushing of the carpet pile beneath.
Your cleaner is fitted with a safety device to help you identify when a blockage has
occurred and subsequently to prevent your cleaner overheating.
If you continue to use your cleaner with a blockage present the motor will automatically
stop for a few minutes to prevent overheating as your cleaner is fitted with a thermal cut-
out. In this event switch off your cleaner, disconnect from the electricity supply and allow
your cleaner to cool. Ensure all blockages are cleared.
Note: If your cleaner does not start again, allow extra cooling down time.
1. If your cleaner does not operate, check the plug connection, plug fuse and mains fuse.
2. Should a blockage in the hose occur, try pushing a length of ordinary curtain expander
wire with a blunt hook on it through the hose to dislodge the blockage, taking care not
to damage the inside of the hose. If this is not successful, contact the nearest Service
Center. Picking up items such as needles, pins, hair pins, clippings of cloth, sizeable
pieces of paper, wrappings from cigarette packets or sweets, etc., may block the hose.
We regret that they cannot regard the clearing of blocked hoses as a service that can
be given, free of charge, under the guarantee.
3. Never pick up hot cinders or lighted cigarette ends.
4. Make certain that your cleaner always remains dry and does not come into
contact with water or any other liquid. It is not designed as a wet pick-up
cleaner, and must never be used on damp carpets or wet floors.
5. Always store your cleaner in a dry place.
6. Renew both the filters regularly in accordance with the Instructions for use.
7. To ensure the smooth running of your cleaner, from time to time remove the base plate
of your cleaner and go through the sequence on page 11.
