PROTECTIVE DEVICES OF MOTOR
1. There is a temperature controller designed in the body of the cleaner motor,
which can automatically cut off power supply to motor to prevent overheating.
When the air-inlet or air-outlet pipe is overloaded or blocked, the temperature of
motor rises, then the temperature controller cuts off the power of the motor to
cool the motor thus preventing the cleaner from being damaged.
2. If the temperature controller is cut off, stop the cleaner immediately by pulling out
the power plug to cool the cleaner. Check and remove the object/s blocking the
air inlet (including the hose and the spile) and replace the filter HEPA or filter
gauze when necessary.
3. After cooling the motor for about 30mins, plug in the unit and check whether the
temperature controller has reset. If the power of the cleaner hasn’t been cut off,
the temperature controller of the motor won’t be reset even when the motor has
cooled down.
