FILTER MAINTENANCE
The Kenmore filter is permanent and self cleaning. However, if you have
questions about your permanent self-cleaning filter, please contact your
local authorized dealer/distributor.
PAPER BAG FILTERS
- OPTIONAL
The volume of the paper bag is 22 liters. A full dust bag reduces the
systems performance. Depending on how often you use your central
vacuum system, the dust bag may need to be changed 2-3 times
per year – and can be obtained at your local dealer/distributor.
Instructions for changing the dust bag:
1. Remove the power unit dirt receptacle
2. Loosen the dust bag from the intake tube, remove and dispose.
3. Place and press the new dust bag firmly into the tube.
Turn the dust bag’s opening to make it fasten firmly on the tube.
4. Put the dirt receptacle back on the central power unit.
IF YOU ExPERIENCE TROUBLE WITH YOUR
KENMORE CENTRAL VACUUM SYSTEM, FOLLOW
THE SUGGESTIONS BELOW BEFORE CALLING
FOR SERVICE.
PARTIAL/TOTAL LOSS OF SUCTION POWER
• Be sure dirt receptacle is on properly.
• Empty dirt receptacle.
• Remove debris from filter.
• Be sure each inlet valve is properly closed.
CLEAR BLOCKAGE IN PIPES
Blockage in the hose
Plug hose into any inlet valve. If there is no suction through the hose after
connecting at a couple of inlets, the blockage is in the hose. To clear the
hose obstruction, insert a blunt instrument into the hose (garden hose,
wood dowel). You can also attempt to reverse the suction through the
hose to dislodge the blockage.
Refer to page 15 - Image 12 and 13
If there is one inlet valve without normal suction and you have checked
for hose blockage, then the blockage is in the pipe system between the
blocked inlet valve and the power unit (see instructions below).
Insert the hose into the inlet valve where there is no suction; hold your
hand over the hose end. Release hand quickly. Repeat several times. If
blockage does not clear, contact your nearest Kenmore dealer/distributor.
POWER UNIT WILL NOT START
• Check for blown fuse or circuit breaker in main house electric supply box.
• Unplug and check all wall inlet and low voltage connections for loose wires.
• If unit still will not start, contact your nearest authorized service
station/dealer.
POWER UNIT WILL NOT STOP
• Check inside each inlet valve for obstruction of low-voltage contacts.
If no visual obstruction can be detected, disconnect the cleaner from
the power receptacle and contact your nearest service station/dealer.
CENTRAL POWER UNIT SHUTS OFF BY ITSELF
• Remove and then re-insert hose into inlet or toggle switch off-on
located on hose handle. See “Overload Protection”.
