THERMAL CUT-OUT
This vacuum cleaner is fitted with a thermal cut-out device which automatically turns off the vacuum cleaner to prevent over-
heating of the motor. When this happens, disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the mains socket and check the dust bin and fil-
ters as it may be full or clogged with fine dust. Check for any other obstructions.
After emptying the dust bin or removing the obstruction, leave the vacuum cleaner to cool down until the thermal cut-out resets
after approximately 40 minutes.
IMPORTANT:
The thermal cut-out will not reset if the vacuum cleaner is not disconnected from the mains socket.
MAINS LEAD
IMPORTANT:
If the mains lead becomes damaged, it must be repaired by Panasonic, authorised service centre or a
qualified person in order to avoid any hazard.
