CLEANING
THE SECONDARY FILTER
A secondary safety filter, located at the top of the vacuum
chamber, provides additional protection to the motor. This
filter should be checked and cleaned if necessary, when
disposable bag is changed or when debris pail is emptied.
Simply brush filter clean. If the filter is excessively soiled,
wash in a mild detergent and let it dry completely
before
reinstalling.
A. FILTER REMOVAL
Open the door located on the front of the power unit.
Reach inside the unit and remove both locking sleeves
from the retaining hooks. Carefully pull filter down to
remove.
NOTE: VX1000 and VX1000C units have two secondary
filters. Ensure to remove both filters.
B. FILTER REINSTALLATION
To reinstall the secondary filter, reverse the steps
described above.
A replacement secondary filter (part no. 10941310) may
be purchased from your local NuTone independent
Authorized Service Center. To locate your nearest
Service Center, call toll free 1-888-336-3948.
CLEANING
THE INTERNAL FILTER
When emptying the debris pail, it is recommended to clear
any dust and dirt that may have accumulated on the internal
filter media. Simply open the direct door, reach in and tap
the top of the internal filter (FIGURE 16). This will release
any loose debris into the pail. You may empty the pail again
at this point but it is not necessary as any amounts of dirt
and dust will be minimal.
CAUTION
Operating the power unit without the secondary filter
will void the warranty.
