Thermal Cut Off
This vacuum cleaner has a special thermostat that protects
the cleaner in case of motor overheating. If the cleaner sud-
denly shuts off, push the on/off switch off (0) and unplug the
cleaner. Check the cleaner for a possible source of over-
heating such as a full dust cup, a blocked hose or clogged
filter. If these conditions are found, fix them and wait at least
30 minutes before attempting to use the cleaner. After the
30 minute period, plug the cleaner back in and push the on/
off switch on (l). If the cleaner still does not run, then take it
to a Eureka Authorized Service Center for repair.
