Overheating
A temperature limiter turns the vacuum
cleaner off automatically if it gets too
hot. Some models also have a warning
light , which comes on to indicate that
it has overheated.
This can occur if large articles block the
suction wand or the dustbag is full or
contains particles of fine dust.
A heavily soiled exhaust or dust com-
partment filter can also be the cause of
overheating. In this case, turn off the
vacuum cleaner using the On-Off
switch.
After removing the cause, wait for
20 - 30 minutes, so that the vacuum
cleaner can cool. It can then be used
again.
