Protecting the Vacuum’s Motor

There is an internal thermal protector in your vacuum that protects it from overheating. It controls the main vacuum motor only, not the brush motor. When it activates, the main motor will stop.
The front lights and Brush Roll will stay on but there won’t be any suction. If this happens, follow these steps:

1. Turn vacuum OFF and unplug from electrical outlet.
2. Check for the source of overheating problem (full Dirt Tank, dirty filters or a clog) and fix by following the steps in the “Vacuum won’t pick up dirt” troubleshooting section.
3. When the motor cools for approximately 30 minutes, the thermal protector automatically resets and cleaning may continue. If the vacuum will not turn ON or the thermal protector continues to activate contact Consumer Care.

Troubleshooting

Suction needs adjustment.

| Adjust using the Carpet Type Control feature on the handle. See page 4.
