THERMAL PROTECTOR
This vacuum cleaner has a thermal
protector which automatically trips to protect
the vacuum cleaner from overheating. If a
clog prevents the normal flow of air to the
motor, the thermal protector turns the
motor off automatically. This allows the
motor to cool in order to prevent possible
damage to the vacuum cleaner.
To correct problem:
Turn off and unplug
vacuum cleaner to allow the vacuum
cleaner to cool and the thermal protector
to reset.
Check for and remove clogs, if
necessary. Also check and replace any
clogged filters. Wait approximately
thirty (30) minutes and plug the vacuum
cleaner in and turn back on to see if the
motor protector has reset.
CHECK BAG INDICATOR
When the vacuum
cleaner is running
with normal airflow,
the
CHECK BAG
light is off. The light
comes on whenever
the airflow becomes
blocked. If that
occurs, first check the disposable dust
bag.
Then check the motor safety filter
and other possible clog locations
shown in REMOVING CLOGS
.
To correct problem:
See the
TROUBLE-
SHOOTING
table.
NOTE:
The light may come on when using
certain attachments, due to reduced airflow
through attachment.

STAIR GRIP
During normal operation while the canister is
in the horizontal position, the caster wheel
rotates freely 360°.
The Stair Grip
feature allows
the caster
wheel to lock in
position when
the vacuum
cleaner is
rotated 25°
from horizontal into a vertical position in
order for the canister to rest on stairs.
SUCTION CONTROL
The suction
control allows
you to change
the vacuum
suction for
different fabrics
and carpet
weights. Opening the control decreases
suction for draperies and lightweight rugs,
while closing the control increases suction
for upholsteries and carpets.

REMOVING CLOGS
The vacuum cleaner creates suction that
picks up dirt. Rapidly moving air carries
the dirt to the dust bag through the airflow
passages. The dust bag lets the air pass
through, while it traps the dirt.
For best cleaning results, keep the
airflow passage open. Check the
starred areas occasionally for
clogs. Turn off and unplug
vacuum cleaner from outlet
before checking.
