weights. Opening the control decreases suction
for draperies and lightweight rugs, while closing
the control increases suction for upholsteries and
carpets.
THERMAL PROTECTOR
This vacuum cleaner has a thermal protector
which automatically trips to protect the vacuum
cleaner from overheating. If a clog prevents
the normal flow of air to the motor, the
thermal protector turns the motor off
automatically. This allows the motor to cool in
order
to prevent possible
damage
to the
vacuum cleaner.
To correct problem: Turn the vacuum cleaner
off and unplug the power cord from the outlet
to allow the vacuum cleaner to cool and the
thermal protector to reset. Check for and
remove clogs, if necessary. Also check and
replace any clogged filters. Wait
approximately thirty (30) minutes and plug the
vacuum cleaner in and turn back on to see if
the motor protector has reset.
