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 bag, 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.
