Thermal protector An internal 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 the cleaner OFF and disconnect it from the electrical outlet. 2. Check secondary and final filters for dirt accumulation. 3. Refer to "Clearing blockages" section. 4. When cleaner is unplugged and the motor cools for 30 minutes, the thermal protector automatically resets and cleaning may continue. If the thermal protector continues to activate after following the above steps, your cleaner may need servicing (see "Service" section). Service To obtain approved HOOVER service and genuine HOOVER parts, locate the nearest Hoover Sales and Service Center or Authorized Hoover Warranty Service Dealer (Depot) by: • checking the Yellow Pages under "Vacuum Cleaners Household" OR • checking the list of Sales and Service Centers provided with this cleaner OR • checking the Service section of Hoover on-line at hoover.com OR • calling 1-800-944-9200 for an automated referral of authorized service outlet locations (U.S. only). Do not send your cleaner to Hoover in North Canton, Ohio for service, this will only result in delay.
