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 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.)

cleaner off and disconnect from
electrical outlet; then disconnect
