Thermal Protector ➢ If a clog prevents the normal flow of air to the motor, the thermal protector turns the motor off automatically to allow the motor to cool in order to prevent possible damage to the vacuum cleaner. ➢ During this time the headlight remains on. ➢ To correct problem, turn off and unplug vacuum cleaner, remove clogs, and/or clean/replace filters. ➢ Replace full bag if necessary. ➢ Wait approximately thirty (30) minutes, plug vacuum cleaner in, turn on to see if thermal protector has reset. Thermal protector will not reset if vacuum cleaner is not turned off even if vacuum cleaner cools down.
