not the cord -when pulling out the plug.

Long and continuous use causes the exhaust air and the body of the
vacuum cleaner to become warm. This, however, does not denote
malfunction.
When vacuuming vinyl mats which may stick to the floor nozzle
because of the suction, lift up the rear of the floor nozzle slightly by
moving the wands close to avertical position.
When vacuuming places that are very dusty, and also when vacuuming
regularly, empty the dust compartment before it becomes completely
filled.
Frequent emptying lengthens the life of the motor and maintains
strong suction power.
