WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit
fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
Your cleaner contains a thermal protective device to shut off the motor to avoid overheating.
If this happens, turn switch off and unplug the cleaner. Inspect the exhaust, inlet, hose, and
filters for any blockage. Empty the dirt container and clean filters. After approximately 30
minutes the motor will have cooled and the vacuum will be ready to use.
NOTE:
The cleaner
must remain unplugged during the 30 minute cooling period.
