thermal protector
an internal thermal protector has been
designed into your cleaner to protect
it from overheating. When the thermal
protector activates, the main vacuum
motor will stop operating. if this
happens, proceed as follows:
1.
Turn the cleaner OFF (O) and unplug from
electrical outlet.
2.
Check the secondary cyclone area,
pre-motor filter and post-motor filter for
dirt accumulation.
3.
Refer to the "Clearing Clogs" section on
page 14.
4.
When the motor cools for approximately
30 minutes, the thermal protector automati-
cally resets and cleaning may continue.
If the thermal protector continues to acti-
vate after following the above steps, your
cleaner may need servicing. Call BISSELL
Consumer Services, or visit the website.
note: the thermal protector controls
the main vacuum motor only, not the
brush motor. if the thermal protector
activates, the brush will continue to
operate normally; however, there
will be no suction.
caution:
To reduce the risk of injury from
moving parts, turn off vacuum
cleaner and disconnect power
plug from electrical outlet.
