Thermal fuse protection
Your Riccar vacuum cleaner comes equipped with a Manual Reset Thermal Fuse Protector. This thermal protector is designed to protect your vacuum cleaner from overheating due to a restriction in airflow (i.e. clogged hose, operating the vacuum without a bag). Should this situation occur, the thermal fuse protector will safely shut off the vacuum cleaner to avoid any potential damage.
NOTE: To determine it was the thermal fuse protector that turned off your vacuum
cleaner, please refer to the vacuum cleaner's headlight. If the headlight is on while the motor is off, then the thermal fuse protector did safely shut down the motor. If both the headlight and motor are off, then there is some reason other than the thermal protector (i.e. pulled plug) your vacuum is off.
To reset the thermal fuse:
1.Unplug the vacuum cleaner
2.Check for problem –
3.Correct problem
4.Locate "tripped" fuse – the small white button located on the bottom of the back side of the main body (roughly one inch to the right of the left wheel)
5.Using a pencil, paper clip or other pointed object, push the reset button in
6.Plug vacuum cleaner in and resume use
Please contact your Authorized Riccar Retailer with any questions.
