PERFORMAN CE/ SAFETY FEATURES

THERMAL PROTECTOR
This vacuum cleaner has a thermal protector which automatically trips to protect the vacuum cleaner suction motor. 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 reset thermal protector: Turn the vacuum cleaner off and unplug the power cord from the outlet to allow the vacuum cleaner to cool and the thermal protectors to reset.
CAUTION
Alw ays return the vacuum cleaner to the upright position before using the hose and attachments. Failure to do so may result in overheating of the brushroll motor and can cause the thermal protectors to trip.
Check for and remove clogs, and empty the dust cup if necessary. Also check and clean any clogged filters. W ait approximately 50 minutes before restarting vacuum cleaner.

To correct problem: Turn off and unplug vacuum cleaner, remove obstruction, then turn on the vacuum cleaner again. The brushroll indicator light will be off.
N OTE: O nce the brushroll motor shuts
down, clear jam from brushroll and then restart the vacuum cleaner. If the problem persists, contact the vacuum cleaner help line for assistance.
SUCTION CON TROL
To assist with push/ pull force of the vacuum on surfaces like thick carpet, the suction control valve can be opened to help reduce suction. N ote that for best cleaning results, the suction control valve must be fully closed.
· Slide to “M in” to open the suction control and decrease suction. O pening control decreases suction for draperies and lightweight rugs.
· Slide to “M ax” to close the suction control and increase suction. Closing control increases suction for upholstery and ca rpets.

BRUSHROLL RESET
The brushroll has built-in protection against motor damage should the brushroll jam. If the brushroll slows down or stops, the brushroll overload protector shuts off the brushroll motor and the brushroll indicator light emits a red light. The vacuum cleaner suction motor will continue to run.
