Frequently asked questions / Technical service

The vacuum cleaner shuts off
automatically. A warning light §
comes on to indicate overheating.
A temperature sensor will turn off the
vacuum cleaner if it becomes too warm.
This is indicated by a thermal
protection indicator § on the display
panel of the vacuum.
This problem can occur if, for example,
an object is blocking the suction hose
or the filter bag pores have become
clogged with fine dust. The cause
could also be a heavily soiled exhaust
or dust compartment filter. If this
happens, turn off the vacuum cleaner
(press the On/Off foot switch s) and
unplug the power plug from the
electrical outlet.
Once the cause has been addressed,
allow the vacuum cleaner to cool for
approx. 20 - 30 minutes before
resuming vacuuming.
