THERMAL PROTECTOR
This vacuum cleaner has a thermal protector
which automatically trips to protect the
vacuum cleaner from overheating. If a clog
prevents the normal flow of air to the motor,
the thermal protector turns the motor off
automatically. This allows the motor to cool
in order to prevent possible damage to the
vacuum cleaner.
To correct problem: Turn off and unplug
vacuum cleaner to allow the vacuum
cleaner to cool and the thermal protector
to reset. Check for and remove clogs, if
necessary. Also check and clean or
replace any clogged filters. Wait
approximately fifty (50) minutes and plug
the vacuum cleaner in and turn back on
to see if the motor protector has reset.
If the canister motor does not resume
operation after the reset procedure
described above, have the unit serviced
by a Kenmore or other qualified service
dealer.
