An internal thermal protector has been

When the thermal protector activates, the
suction motor will stop running, however the
agitator will continue to run.
If this happens,
proceed as follows:
1 . Turn the cleaner OFF and disconnect it
from the electrical outlet .
2 . Check dirt cup pre-filter, HEPA
cartridge filter and final filter for dirt
accumulation .
3. Refer to “Clearing blockages” section.
4 . When the motor cools, the thermal
protector automatically resets and cleaning
may continue .
If the thermal protector continues to
activate after following the above steps,
your cleaner may need servicing (see
“Service” section).
If a minor problem occurs, it usually can be solved quite easily when the cause is found by
using the check list below .
