Cleaning and care

							What if the vacuum turns off
automatically. A warning light,
comes on to indicate overheating.
The vacuum has overheated. The
temperature limiter automatically turns
the vacuum off.
This can occur if, for instance, large
articles block the suction tube or when
the filter bag is full or contains particles
of fine dust. A heavily soiled exhaust or
dust compartment filter can also be the
cause of overheating. Turn the vacuum
off and pull the plug from the outlet.
^ Check for any blockages and allow
the vacuum to cool for 30 minutes.
