Automatic Motor Shut-Off

To protect from overheating, this vacuum cleaner is equipped with a thermostat
which automatically shuts off the motor if it overheats. Should this happen:

1. Turn off the switch and unplug the cleaner because the thermostat will allow

the cleaner to automatically start running again when the motor cools
(approximately 30 minutes).

2. Check the hose, bag and filter regularly, as a clogged hose, full bag or dirty filter

could cause the motor to overheat.

3. Call a Eureka Service Station if the cleaner will not operate after cooling for

approximately 30 minutes.
