WARNING:To reduce the risk of personal injury, unplug before cleaning or servicing.

REMOVING SYSTEM CLOGS

If you are experiencing a loss of suction, or you notice debris is spitting out of the nozzle, we recommend checking the nozzle, tube, hose and filters for any visible signs of blockage or built up debris. It is also recommended to rinse your Filter if there is visible built up dirt and dust on the filter. This should help improve performance on your vacuum.

THERMAL PROTECTION

A thermal protector has been designed into your cleaner to protect it from overheating. When the thermal protector activates the cleaner will stop running.

If this happens proceed as follows:

1. Turn cleaner OFF and unplug it.
2. Empty the dirt cup
3. Inspect the nozzle inlet, hose connector, hose, dirt cup inlet, cyclonic filter rinsable filter and exhaust filter for any obstructions. Clear obstructions if present.
4. When cleaner is de-energized and motor cools for 30 minutes, the thermal protector will deactivate and cleaning may continue.

If the thermal protector continues to activate after following the above steps, your cleaner needs servicing.
