Cleaning
Cleaning the Home Base
- Open the Vacuvita Home Base by pressing
the control button on the front.
-
To protect against the risk of electric shock,
cut the electric power by removing the plug
from the power outlet.
-
Clean both the outside and the inside of the
Home Base using a sponge or cloth with
water and mild soap.
Be careful not to flood the vacuum socket
or air filter with water! Do not use the inside
of the Home Base as a bowl for washing up.
Do not submerge the Home Base in water!
- If required, the lid seal can be removed for
cleaning. Gently pull it from the inside of
the lid and use water and a mild soap.
Do not put the seal in the dishwasher.
Do not use sharp objects to remove or reinstall the seal.
- To re-install the seal, make sure it is positioned properly, with the
solid section facing towards the inside and the two thinner flaps
facing outside the Home Base.
- Gently press the seal in the groove, by first
positioning the seal at the four corners
and then pressing it down in the straight
sections
- Be sure to press along the entire length of
the seal, so that it is properly positioned
and distributed evenly along the groove.
Make sure not to stretch the seal during application.
Cleaning the dust and particle filter
During the vacuum process small crumbs or
food particles may be sucked into the vacuum
system. It is recommended that you regularly
clean the filter on the Home Base.
- Place your finger in the slot on the filter.
- Simply pull the filter upward, sliding it out
of the wall. Do not pull it towards you!
- Gently tap the crumbs and particles out of the filter.
- If the filter cannot be cleaned, replace it with an original Vacuvita
part. Visit vacuvita.com for details.
- Gently slide the filter back after cleaning.

Cleaning or replacing the removable air filter
-
Occasionally, you may need to clean or
replace the air filter on the outside of
the Home Base. It is recommended to
clean the filter once every year, or when
the pump sound is clearly louder and the
vacuum process takes longer than prior.
-
Remove the power plug from the wall
socket. Place a soft cloth or towel in front
of the Home Base.
-
Gently tilt the Home Base forward, until the
front touches the cloth. Do not drop the
Home Base, as this may result in damage
or malfunction!
If the filter cannot be cleaned, replace it with an original
Vacuvita part. Visit www.vacuvita.com for details.
- Pull the filter from the bottom of the Home Base to clean it.
- Clean the filter by gently tapping it on a hard surface or use the
corner of a clean cloth to remove dust and particles.
- After cleaning, push the filter back in place.
- Return the Home Base to its upright position and put the plug back
into the wall socket.
Cleaning the vacuum adapter
-
Disconnect the adapter tube from the
Vacuvita Home Base.
- Remove the lid from the adapter.
-
Turn the adapter channel counterclockwise
and lift it from the inside of the housing.
-
Remove the ball.
- The parts may be cleaned using water and
mild soap.
Do not scrub the sealing surfaces using scouring materials
as this may damage the sealing and cause malfunctions.
Make sure all the parts are dried properly before use,
especially the inside cavities of the adapter housing.
Cleaning the vacuum tube
The tube is not intended for cleaning as fluids are not supposed to enter
the system. If, by unforeseen circumstances, fluids have entered the
tube and you do wish to attempt cleaning it, the tube can be rinsed
by submerging in warm water or holding it under the tap. After rinsing
make sure that all water is out of the tube, before using it again. If there
is a lot of water left in the tube, gently blowing on one end might help.
