TABLE OF CONTENTS

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury:

1.

  Do not use on wet surfaces or outdoors.

2.

  Do not vacuum liquids or fine powders (such as drywall dust).

3.

  Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such 

as gasoline or use in areas where they may be present.

4.

  Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as 

cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.

5.

  Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary 

when used by or near children.

6.

 Use only as described in this manual. Use only 

manufacturer's recommended attachments.

7.

  Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all parts of body away 

from openings and moving parts.

8.

  Turn off all controls before unplugging.

9.

  Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.

10.

 Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands.

11.

 Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If appliance is not 

working as it should, if it has been dropped, damaged, 
left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a Service 
Center.

12.

 Keep your work area well lighted.

13.

 Connect to a properly grounded outlet only. See grounding 

instructions shown on page 9.

14.

 When performing installation, servicing or cleaning the unit, 

it is recommended to wear safety glasses and gloves.

15.

 

When applicable local regulations comprise more 
restrictive installation and/or certification requirements, 
the aforementioned requirements prevail on those of this 
document and the installer agrees to conform to these at 
his own expenses.

CAUTION

1.

  Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any 

opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair and anything 
that may reduce air flow.

2.

  Ensure air flows freely and exhausts unobstructed from top 

or side outlet.

3.

  Do not use without filter (or filters, according to the model) 

in place.

4.

  Do not use to blow leaves or debris.

5.

  Do not place any object on top of the unit.

6.

  Do not install the unit horizontally.

7.

  Do not use the pail as a wash bucket.

8.

  Do not use the pail as a stool.

9.

  Avoid picking up sharp objects. 

10.

 This appliance is for use on a standard 120 VAC, dedicated 

15-amp branch circuit. Some brands of house panel 
breakers may be more sensitive to startup current than 
others (for example, Square D brand). In the event where 
nuisance tripping of the house panel breaker occurs*, we 
recommend changing the breaker with an “HM” type 

of the 

same AMP rating

 

*  after ensuring that the circuit is DEDICATED to the central 
  vacuum unit, meaning that there is no other electrical 
  device connected to the central vacuum unit circuit.

11.

 Do not unplug the unit by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp 

the plug, not the cord.

12.

 Store your vacuum cleaner indoors in a clean, dry area, and 

away from extreme temperatures.

13.

 Any servicing other than that recommended in this manual 

should be performed by an authorized service facility.

14.

 We recommend that your unit be inspected by a specialized 

technician once a year.
