Hoover C1660-900 Benutzerhandbuch

Thermal protector

An internal thermal protector has been
designed into your cleaner to protect it
from overheating.

When the thermal protector activates,
the cleaner will stop running.

If this

happens, proceed as follows:

Turn the cleaner OFF and discon-

nect it from the electrical outlet.

2. Check filters for dirt accumulation.

3. Refer to “Clearing blockages”

section.

When cleaner is unplugged and

the motor cools for 30 minutes,

the

thermal protector automatically resets
and cleaning may continue.
If the thermal protector continues to
activate after following the above steps,
your cleaner may need servicing
(see“Service” section).
