Thermal Cut-Off
This vacuum cleaner has a special thermostat that protects the vacuum in case of motor overheating. If the vacuum
suddenly shuts off, push the on/off switch to off (O) and unplug the vacuum. Check the vacuum for a possible source of
overheating such as 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 turn on the switch. If the
vacuum still does not work, take it to a Eureka Authorized Service Center for repair.
