Safety device
1. The vacuum has a protection device to
automatically power off when the tank reaches
its water capacity (this prevents water from
reaching the motor). If this happens, the red
light will turn on indicating the tank needs
immediate emptying.
2. If the temperature exceeds the unit’s limit,
the thermal protection device will turn on and
automatically power off the unit. If this
happens, wait 30 minutes prior to restarting
the vacuum.
3. In the event of a clogged or full dirt tank, the
yellow light will turn on indicating the dirt tank
and filter need cleaning. To ensure best
performance, clean the tank and filter every
15-30 days.
