locations shown in REMOVING CLOGS (page 16). To correct problem: See "Check bag indicator activates" in TROUBLESHOOTING (page 24). NOTE: The indicator may activate when using certain attachments due to reduced airflow through attachment. 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, immediately discontinue use and call 1-877-531-7321 (US) / 1-844- 608-3081 (CA) for assistance.

When the vacuum cleaner is running with normal airflow, the CHECK BAG indicator is green. The indicator turns to dark red whenever the airflow becomes blocked. If that occurs, check the disposable dust bag, motor safety filter and other possible clog OVERLOAD PROTECTOR The PowerMate

has built-in protection against motor and belt damage should the brushroll jam. If the brushroll slows down or stops, the brushroll overload protector shuts off the brushroll motor and the brushroll indicator light emits a red light. The vacuum cleaner suction motor will continue to run. To correct problem: Turn off and unplug vacuum cleaner, remove obstruction, then turn on the vacuum cleaner again. The brushroll indicator light will be off. NOTE: Once the brushroll motor shuts down, clear jam from brushroll and then restart the vacuum cleaner. If the problem persists, contact the vacuum cleaner help line for assistance. WARNING Personal Injury Hazard To avoid accidental brushroll starting, always turn off and unplug the vacuum cleaner before cleaning the brushroll area. Failure to do so can result in personal injury. Brushroll Indicator Light- 16 - TO CHECK FOR CLOGS:

1. Turn off and unplug vacuum cleaner.

NOT drip water on vacuum cleaner.

2. To clean exterior, or to reduce static

electricity and dust build-up, wipe outer surface with a clean, soft cloth that has been dipped in a solution of mild liquid detergent and water, then wrung dry. Wipe dry after cleaning. If the vacuum cleaner still has poor suction, do the following:

1. Connect the hose to the canister and

turn vacuum cleaner on. Check the end of the hose for suction. If there is good suction on the hose handle, there is no clog in the hose. If the suction is bad, remove any dirt or debris in the hose and handle.

2. Connect hose handle to wand. Check

the end of the wand for suction. If there is good suction at the end of the wand, there is no clog in the wand. If the suction is bad, remove any dirt or debris in the wand.

CAUTION Do not use attachments if they are wet. Attachments used in dirty areas, such as under a refrigerator, should not be used on other surfaces until they are washed. They could leave marks. CANISTER CARE The vacuum cleaner creates suction that picks up dirt. Rapidly moving air carries the dirt to the dust bag through the airflow passages. The dust bag lets the air pass through, while it traps the dirt. For best cleaning results, keep the airflow passage open. Check the starred ( ) areas occasionally for clogs. Turn off and unplug vacuum cleaner from outlet before checking. REMOVING CLOGS- 17 - Hood Release
