Thermal Cut Off

This vacuum cleaner has a special

thermostat that protects the cleaner in

case of motor overheating. If the cleaner

suddenly shuts off, push the on/off

switch off (0) and unplug the cleaner.

Check the cleaner for a possible source

of overheating 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.
