PERFORMANCE/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.

Always 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 replace dust bag if necessary. Also check and clean any clogged filters. Wait approximately 50 minutes before restarting vacuum cleaner.

BY-PASS VALVE

This vacuum cleaner has a By-Pass Valve which prevents motor overheating and damage. The valve opens to provide cooling air when a clog prevents normal air flow to the vacuum cleaner suction motor. You will notice a change of sound as air rushes through the valve opening.

To correct the problem: remove any clogs, check and replace filters if needed, check and install new dust bag if needed.

NOTE: The By-Pass Valve may open when using attachments or when cleaning new carpet due to reduced airflow or air path is blocked, caused by the attachments themselves or by new carpet lint filling the dust bag quickly.

HAIR ELIMINATOR BRUSHROLL

For best performance, the motorized nozzle is equipped with a hair eliminator brushroll, which prevents build up of hair, string and other debris on the brushroll. To remove any hair wrapped around the brushroll, simply continue vacuuming allowing the brushroll to automatically remove the hair wrap and send it to the dust bag.

Moving parts! To reduce the risk of personal injury, DO NOT touch the brushroll when vacuum is on. Contacting the brushroll while it is rotating can cut, bruise or cause other injuries.

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 status indicator emits red light. The vacuum cleaner suction motor will continue to run.

To solve the problem: Turn off and unplug vacuum cleaner, remove obstruction, then turn on the vacuum cleaner.

NOTE: Once 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 CONTROL

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. Note that for best cleaning results, the suction control valve must be fully closed.

• Slide to right to open the suction control and decrease suction. Opening control decreases suction for draperies and lightweight rugs.
  
• Slide to left to close the suction control and increase suction. Closing control increases suction for upholstery and carpets.
  

PRODUCT MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Always follow all safety precautions when performing maintenance to the vacuum cleaner.

Electrical Shock and Personal Injury Hazard
