USE WITHOUT BAG
We recommend you empty the dust receptacle
and clean the permanent filter at least each
season, depending on use of your central
vacuum.
1. To empty the dust receptacle:
Disconnect the unit from the electric outlet.
Unlatch the two clips, remove the receptacle
(figure 19), and empty into an appropriate
container.
2. To clean the permanent filter (figure 20):
• Do not remove the filter
• Wrap the filter and the lower portion of the
unit body within a large plastic bag. Hold it
tightly around the unit with one hand.
• With your other hand, gently shake the
filter.
• Wait a few seconds for the dust to settle
before removing the plastic bag.
• Never wash the filter.
3. Replace the dust receptacle and seal with the
help of the two clips.
4. Reconnect the unit to the electric outlet.
General infOrMaTiOn
If the vacuum unit does not work, check the fuse or breaker on the unit and/or
in the electrical panel in your home, and replace any defective part(s) as deemed
necessary. Please verify that the unit has been installed properly, according to the
instructions in this manual.
Your vacuum cleaning system is designed to collect everyday dry matter (dust).
It is approved by authorized testing agencies for dry use only. Do not use on wet
surfaces.
Should you accidentally vacuum liquids, immediately unplug the unit from the
electric outlet, then empty and wipe the dust recipient with a dry cloth. Then
operate the system from the vacuum inlet through which you vacuumed the
liquid, in order to eliminate all moisture in the piping system.
We strongly recommend against vacuuming abrasive materials such as cement,
plaster and gyproc dust. This fine dust could work its way into the motor,
causing considerable damage. Should you do so inadvertently, immediately
clean the filters and, as a precautionary measure, contact your authorized
service center to determine the extent of the damage to the unit.
Remember that in order for your warranty to remain valid, maintenance
of the motor and repairs to the unit itself must be carried out by an
authorized service center, using original Mvac or Trovac parts.
