Thermal cut-off
This vacuum has a special thermostat that protects the vacuum in case of motor overheating. If the vacuum switches off,
turn the switch to off position and unplug the vacuum. Check the vacuum for a possible source of overheating such as a
full dustbin, a blocked hose or clogged filter. If these conditions are found, fix them and wait at least 30 minutes before
attempting to use the vacuum. After the 30 minute period, plug the vacuum back in and press the power switch to turn
on (I). If the vacuum still does not run, please call Electrolux Customer Care Helpline.
