Obstructions

Remove larger items from carpet and floor surfaces before vacuuming to help

prevent obstructions in hose, wands or nozzle connector, and to maintain

cleaning effectiveness of your cleaner.

There are two conditions that will indicate that an obstruction has occurred:

Cleaner stops running (See Thermal Protector section.)

Cleaner continues to run, but suction is low. (See

Clearing obstructions section.)

Thermal protector

An internal thermal protector has been used in your cleaner to prevent over-

heating if a large item or clog is caught in the nozzle or at the opening of the

bag. When the blockage is not removed, the thermal protector will trip

and the cleaner will stop running. If this happens turn cleaner OFF and

disconnect cleaner from electrical outlet. Disconnect hose from cleaner

and remove obstruction from bag opening. If obstruction is in nozzle, discon-

nect nozzle from wand and remove obstruction. Within 15 minutes the thermal

protector will cool and automatically reset, then cleaning may resume. If

cleaner does not operate, allow additional time for thermal protector to reset.

The thermal protector may a!so trip if the bag needs to be replaced. (See “The

bag” section.)
