TIPS ON THE CARE OF Y OUR CENTRAL V AACUUM SYSTEM
Your power unit is warranted against defective materials and workmanship but not against misuse. There is a service charge for repairing or replacing damaged or misused components of the system or for unnecessary service calls.
Your built-in system is a lifetime improvement for you and your family. Follow these simple tips and you will enjoy it for many years:
1) DO NOT PLACE ANYTHING ON TOP OF THE POWER UNIT
To do so would cause the motor to overheat as it will impair the cooling air flow.
2) DO NOT OVERFILL YOUR DIRT CANISTER
Allowing the dirt canister to fill up to the bottom of the plastic cone will nullify the cyclonic separator system and could cause debris to be drawn into the upper screen which may, in time, damage your power unit.
3) USE ONE INLET AT A TIME TO MAINTAIN PROPER AIR FLOW
Using more than one vacuum inlet at a time reduces the air flow to a level below that which is required to effectively deep clean your carpets.
4) STORE YOUR HOSE AND TOOLS PROPERLY
When not in use, always hang up your hose and store the cleaning tools and wands in a place where they will not be damaged.
5) HOLD THE INLET DOOR OPEN WHEN REMOVING THE HOSE
After removing the hose from the inlet, hold the inlet door open for a few seconds to: a) Make sure the unit has stopped.
b) Clear any residual dirt out of the vacuum tubing
6) DO NOT PICK UP ANY LIQUIDS
Do not pull liquids into the vacuum tubing since any liquid left in the tubing may: a) Drain back out of the wall inlet and cause streaking of the walls.
b) Cause dirt build-up in the tubing that could eventually clog the system.
Wet Pick-up Units are available for this type of use. Contact your local dealer.
7) BE CERTAIN TO FILL OUT AND RETURN THE WARRANTY CARD
Take just a few moments to fill out the warranty card, cut it out, place a stamp on it and drop it in the mail.

FOR CORD CONNECTED APPLIANCE
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. Your central vacuum system is supplied with an electrical cord having a grounding pin. It is recommended that this plug be used only with an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit (U.S. only) or 230/250 volt circuits where applicable, and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug shown in Figure A. A temporary adapter, that looks like the adapter illustrated in Figure B, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Figure B if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (Figure A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. NOTE: colored rigid ear, lug or the like, extending from the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.

vacuum inlet, then start the power unit by activating the wall inlet switch. If the airflow, at the inlet, is good, then this will normally indicate a blockage in the hose or wand. If blockage is in the wand, it can be disassembled and cleaned. If blockage is in the hose, the hose should first be laid out straight, then with the hose plugged into the inlet valve and the power unit running, pick up the hose, starting at the end furthest from the valve and gently stretch about two feet of it at a time as you proceed along the length of the hose toward the inlet valve.
It this does not clear the stoppage, then remove the hose cuffs by unscrewing them, and switch them to the other ends of the hose (these cuffs have left hand screw threads so rotate them in a clockwise direction to unscrew from the hose). After this has been done replace the hose in the inlet valve and with the power unit operating, repeat the process of stretching the hose. If this fails to unclog the hose, run (handle first) a screwdriver with at least a
3/4" diameter handle through the hose.
11.
further from the power unit, your tubing is either clogged or has broken open. If you cannot repair this, contact your service man. If you turn the power unit on and leave the inlet valve furthest from the power unit open and then check the exhaust from the power unit, you can determine whether you have a break in the tubing or whether the tubing is clogged. If very little air is coming out of the exhaust of the power unit, then it is probably an obstruction in the tubing and not a break.

OPERATING YOUR CENTRAL VACUUM
Your central vacuum system has been engineered for a long, trouble-free service life. Your power unit is covered by a factory limited warranty that is enclosed with these instructions.
Please read your limited warranty carefully. If your owners manual came with a warranty card, fill it out and return to the factory. You should fill out your registration card within ten
(10) days of installation and return to address listed on the card. This will validate our factory warranty. Remember, your warranty does not cover abuse or misuse of the equipment.
If your owners manual did not come with a warranty card, contact your dealer for warranty information.
CLEANING TOOLS tools is explained in a separate booklet packed with each of the tool kits. It is very important to utilize the tool that is designed to perform a particular cleaning job, in order to obtain full efficiency from your system. Each of the tools and their designed use is explained in the booklet packed with your particular tool kit. Also, other special carpet & flooring tools are available, which are not included as part of the normal tool kits. A few of these are a vibrating upholstery tool, a pet grooming tool, and a hand held air turbine. In addition, there are accessories designed to allow you to safely pick up liquids with your cleaning system such as the Wet Pick-Up. Each of these tools is available for purchase from your local dealer; if you would like to know more about a certain tool, please contact them.
VACUUM INLETS care should be taken not to distort the door by forcing it too far open. Do not turn the system on and try to open the door of another inlet, since this will tend to pull the rubber gasket from the door.
If inlet does not have remote on/off hose activated, leave door open for a few seconds after removing hose from inlet so the cyclonic filtration has time to shut down and debris can settle back down into the dirt can. If the power unit continues to run after the hose is removed from the inlet, the small ball which activates the low voltage switch at the inlet should be checked to make sure it has not become lodged in some way. Should this not shut the unit off, disconnect the electrical supply to the power unit and notify your local dealer or serviceman.
VACUUM POWER UNIT are greased and sealed for life. The motor of the unit has contact brushes inside. As the unit is used, the brushes will wear, even when functioning properly. Because of this, the brushes in most power units will need to be replaced after 700 to 1,500 hours of use. Brush life is also affected by humidity, altitude, temperature and the number of starts and stops. So, there is a wide spread in the actual life of the motor brushes. On average the life of the motor brush, when used in a normal manner, will be from ten to twenty years. The cost of replacing your motor brushes is not great; but, the damage that can be done to the motor through not replacing the brushes before brushes inspected by a qualified serviceman every 4-6 years.

MAINTENANCE
The mass of dirt and debris picked up by your central vacuum system is deposited in the dirt canister. The dirt canister is attached to the bottom of your power unit (single canister units) or filter canister (if split system unit) and will need to be emptied on a periodic basis. To empty the dirt can, follow these simple steps:
1
2
To remove the dirt canister, support the bottom of the canister with your knee*
(see figure 1a), then unsnap the two dirt canister latches by grasping the
Note:
The latches may be tight, but do not try to adjust them. They need to latch tightly, to ensure a proper seal, which is important in the operation of the cyclonic separation.)
Carefully lower the dirt container and empty the debris into any suitable trash container. (If equipped with an air channel and plastic bag, see page 7 for more instructions.)
3 Check the vacuum pump protection screen by looking up or feeling up inside the dirt canister to remove any debris that may have become stuck on the screen up inside the metal cone. A plastic bag may be placed over the bottom portion of the top canister. Then, while holding the plastic bag tightly around the canister with one hand, push the bag up inside with the other hand and brush the screen surface (see figure 2a). In this way, the screen can be cleaned without getting any dust or debris on the floor or hands.
Figure 2a
TIP When cleaning the up inside the can, try using a toilet bowl brush or something similar.
This will allow you to reach up inside more easily than just by using your arm. Still use the plastic bag, as this will keep the dirt from falling on you or your floor.
Some units may have an optional Electro-Static screen. To remove the screen, pull down on the tab until the screen comes down through the metal cone. Clean the electrostatic screen
4 sure it is dry before placing it back in the unit or it will void warranty. To replace the screen, fold it and place it inside of the top of the metal cone. Then, allow the Electro-Static screen to expand until it covers the entire opening.
Replace the dirt canister by slipping the rim of the dirt canister over the lip of the top can until it is seated against the rim gasket. Then while holding the canister in place with your knee* (see
Figure 1a), fasten the two latches. Do this by hooking the top lip of each latch over the rim of the top can and then press straight in on the bottom of the latches until they lock.
*If you have trouble removing or replacing the dirt canister using your knee, try supporting the can with one hand, unlatching (or relatching) one side with the other hand. Then, reverse your hands to unlatch (or relatch) the other side.

Remove the bag by sliding the rubber gasket that surrounds the hole in the paper bag off the plastic inlet stem that protrudes through the side of the canister (figure 2d).
Once the bag is off of the inlet stem, seal the bag by removing the backing from the tab and cover the hole with the flap. Press the flap so that it securely seals over the hole (figure 3d). This will help prevent dirt and dust from escaping.
Now, lift the paper bag from the dirt canister and place in a suitable trash container.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I CHECK OR EMPTY THE PAPER BAG?
The filter bag should be changed or cleaned when there is 3-6 inches of dirt or anytime there is a noticable reduction of air flow at the cleaning tool. Initially, the dirt canister should be checked or emptied weekly until some idea can be obtained as to how long it takes to half fill the canister under your normal cleaning routine.
All vacuum systems will function more effectively if it is emptied frequently. Under no circumstances should you allow your dirt canister to become more than 3/4 full before emptying. (Note: The canister will fill more rapidly if NEW carpets are being cleaned for there is usually a tremendous quantity of loose fibers that are retained in the carpet from the manufacturing process. In some instances it may take several months before all of these loose fibers are removed.)

To remove the dirt canister, support the bottom of the canister with your knee* (see figure 1b), then unsnap the two dirt canister latches by grasping the lower end of each latch and pulling straight away from the canister.
(Note: to latch tightly, to ensure a proper seal, which is vital in the operation of the cyclonic separation.)
Carefully lower the dirt container and empty the debris into any suitable trash container. (If equipped with an air channel and plastic bag, see page
7 for more instructions.)
Please note that for split systems, those systems which have the powerhead mounted separately from the filter canister, the screen may be cleaned by just lifting straight up on the lid of the dirt canister (see Figure 2b). Optional maintenance: The underneath of the screen can also be cleaned. To do so, remove the two screws, lift screen and wipe the underneath of the screen clean. Place screen back into unit and secure with the two screws.
These units may have an optional Electro-Static screen which can be lifted out and cleaned by vacuuming, rinsing with water, or shaking. Before replacing the Electro-Static screen make certain it is completely dry or it will void warranty. To replace the screen, simply place the Electro-Static screen over the stand pipe and push down to insure that it seats on the metal screen. With this type of unit, there is no need to look or reach up into the canister from the bottom of the unit. When replacing the lid, care should be taken to insure that it is placed squarely on the top of the canister; otherwise, it will allow a vacuum leak.

Replace the dirt canister by slipping the rim of the dirt canister over the lip of the top can until it is seated against the rim gasket. Then while holding the canister in place with your knee* (see
Figure 1b), fasten the two latches. Do this by hooking the top lip of each latch over the rim of the top can and then press straight in on the bottom of the latches until they lock.
If you notice a lack of suction or power, lint screen or Electro-Static screen may be blocked. Remove lid and clean.

Sealed P aper Bag Systems
Sealed paper bag units incorporate a two-layer disposable paper bag for superior filtration. These paper bags are also inexpensive and easy to throw away making vacuum maintenance easy. The mass of dirt and debris picked up by your central vacuum system is deposited in the filter bag inside the dirt canister. To remove this accumulation, follow these simple steps:
1 Remove the lid by lifting straight up (figure 1d). There are no hinges or clamps.
2
Remove the bag by sliding the rubber gasket that surrounds the hole in the paper bag off the plastic inlet stem that protrudes through the side of the canister (figure 2d).
Once the bag is off of the inlet stem, seal the bag by removing the backing from the tab and cover the hole with the flap. Press the flap so that it securely seals over the hole (figure 3d). This will help prevent dirt and dust from escaping.
Now, lift the paper bag from the dirt canister and place in a suitable trash container.

The latches may be tight, but do not try to adjust them. They need to latch tightly, to ensure a proper seal, which is important in the operation of the cyclonic separation.)
Carefully lower the dirt container and empty the debris into any suitable trash container. (If equipped with an air channel and plastic bag, see page 7 for more instructions.)
3 Check the vacuum pump protection screen by looking up or feeling up inside the dirt canister to remove any debris that may have become stuck on the screen up inside the metal cone. A plastic bag may be placed over the bottom portion of the top canister. Then, while holding the plastic bag tightly around the canister with one hand, push the bag up inside with the other hand and brush the screen surface (see figure 2a). In this way, the screen can be cleaned without getting any dust or debris on the floor or hands.

If blockage is in the wand, it can be disassembled and cleaned. If blockage is in the hose, the hose should first be laid out straight, then with the hose plugged into the inlet valve and the power unit running, pick up the hose, starting at the end furthest from the valve and gently stretch about two feet of it at a time as you proceed along the length of the hose toward the inlet valve.
It this does not clear the stoppage, then remove the hose cuffs by unscrewing them, and switch them to the other ends of the hose (these cuffs have left hand screw threads so rotate them in a clockwise direction to unscrew from the hose). After this has been done replace the hose in the inlet valve and with the power unit operating, repeat the process of stretching the hose. If this fails to unclog the hose, run (handle first) a screwdriver with at least a
3/4" diameter handle through the hose.

further from the power unit, your tubing is either clogged or has broken open. If you cannot repair this, contact your service man. If you turn the power unit on and leave the inlet valve furthest from the power unit open and then check the exhaust from the power unit, you can determine whether you have a break in the tubing or whether the tubing is clogged. If very little air is coming out of the exhaust of the power unit, then it is probably an obstruction in the tubing and not a break.

OPERATING YOUR CENTRAL VACUUM
Your central vacuum system has been engineered for a long, trouble-free service life. Your power unit is covered by a factory limited warranty that is enclosed with these instructions.
Please read your limited warranty carefully. If your owners manual came with a warranty card, fill it out and return to the factory. You should fill out your registration card within ten
(10) days of installation and return to address listed on the card. This will validate our factory warranty. Remember, your warranty does not cover abuse or misuse of the equipment.
If your owners manual did not come with a warranty card, contact your dealer for warranty information.
CLEANING TOOLS tools is explained in a separate booklet packed with each of the tool kits. It is very important to utilize the tool that is designed to perform a particular cleaning job, in order to obtain full efficiency from your system. Each of the tools and their designed use is explained in the booklet packed with your particular tool kit. Also, other special carpet & flooring tools are available, which are not included as part of the normal tool kits. A few of these are a vibrating upholstery tool, a pet grooming tool, and a hand held air turbine. In addition, there are accessories designed to allow you to safely pick up liquids with your cleaning system such as the Wet Pick-Up. Each of these tools is available for purchase from your local dealer; if you would like to know more about a certain tool, please contact them.
VACUUM INLETS care should be taken not to distort the door by forcing it too far open. Do not turn the system on and try to open the door of another inlet, since this will tend to pull the rubber gasket from the door.
If inlet does not have remote on/off hose activated, leave door open for a few seconds after removing hose from inlet so the cyclonic filtration has time to shut down and debris can settle back down into the dirt can. If the power unit continues to run after the hose is removed from the inlet, the small ball which activates the low voltage switch at the inlet should be checked to make sure it has not become lodged in some way. Should this not shut the unit off, disconnect the electrical supply to the power unit and notify your local dealer or serviceman.
VACUUM POWER UNIT are greased and sealed for life. The motor of the unit has contact brushes inside. As the unit is used, the brushes will wear, even when functioning properly. Because of this, the brushes in most power units will need to be replaced after 700 to 1,500 hours of use. Brush life is also affected by humidity, altitude, temperature and the number of starts and stops. So, there is a wide spread in the actual life of the motor brushes. On average the life of the motor brush, when used in a normal manner, will be from ten to twenty years. The cost of replacing your motor brushes is not great; but, the damage that can be done to the motor through not replacing the brushes before brushes inspected by a qualified serviceman every 4-6 years.

FOR CORD CONNECTED APPLIANCE
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. Your central vacuum system is supplied with an electrical cord having a grounding pin. It is recommended that this plug be used only with an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit (U.S. only) or 230/250 volt circuits where applicable, and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug shown in Figure A. A temporary adapter, that looks like the adapter illustrated in Figure B, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Figure B if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
IMPORT ANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
* Read all instructions before using this appliance.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury:
* Always follow these safety instructions
1. Do not leave room when hose is plugged in to the inlet. Disconnect power before servicing.
2. Electric shock could occur if used on wet surfaces.
3. Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.
4. Use only as described in this manual. Use only those attachments that are recommended.
5. Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If applicance is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service center.

TIPS ON THE CARE OF Y OUR CENTRAL V AACUUM SYSTEM
Your power unit is warranted against defective materials and workmanship but not against misuse. There is a service charge for repairing or replacing damaged or misused components of the system or for unnecessary service calls.
Your built-in system is a lifetime improvement for you and your family. Follow these simple tips and you will enjoy it for many years:
1) DO NOT PLACE ANYTHING ON TOP OF THE POWER UNIT
To do so would cause the motor to overheat as it will impair the cooling air flow.
2) DO NOT OVERFILL YOUR DIRT CANISTER
Allowing the dirt canister to fill up to the bottom of the plastic cone will nullify the cyclonic separator system and could cause debris to be drawn into the upper screen which may, in time, damage your power unit.
3) USE ONE INLET AT A TIME TO MAINTAIN PROPER AIR FLOW
Using more than one vacuum inlet at a time reduces the air flow to a level below that which is required to effectively deep clean your carpets.
4) STORE YOUR HOSE AND TOOLS PROPERLY
When not in use, always hang up your hose and store the cleaning tools and wands in a place where they will not be damaged.
5) HOLD THE INLET DOOR OPEN WHEN REMOVING THE HOSE
After removing the hose from the inlet, hold the inlet door open for a few seconds to: a) Make sure the unit has stopped.
b) Clear any residual dirt out of the vacuum tubing
6) DO NOT PICK UP ANY LIQUIDS
Do not pull liquids into the vacuum tubing since any liquid left in the tubing may: a) Drain back out of the wall inlet and cause streaking of the walls.
b) Cause dirt build-up in the tubing that could eventually clog the system.
Wet Pick-up Units are available for this type of use. Contact your local dealer.
7) BE CERTAIN TO FILL OUT AND RETURN THE WARRANTY CARD
Take just a few moments to fill out the warranty card, cut it out, place a stamp on it and drop it in the mail.
