The dust compartment can, if
necessary, be cleaned using a dry

							The vacuum cleaner has switched
itself off automatically
A temperature limiter switches 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.
Overheating can occur if, for instance,
large articles block the suction tube or
the dustbag is full or contains particles
of fine dust. A heavily soiled exhaust or
dust compartment filter can also be the
cause of overheating. Switch off the
vacuum cleaner using the On-Off
switch.
After removing the cause, wait for a
period of approx. 20 - 30 minutes, to
allow the vacuum cleaner to cool down.
It can then be switched on again.
