INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of a new
BEAM Central Vacuum System. It is the built-in
cleaning appliance designed to help you clean
your home efficiently and effectively. Unlike
conventional vacuums that can recirculate dust,
a BEAM system lifts dirt, dust mites, pollen,
dander and other allergens from oors, curtains,
furniture and other surfaces, and carries them
away from living areas to help improve indoor
air quality. It has been clinically proven to relieve
allergy symptoms.

To obtain the maximum benet from your BEAM
System, please read this manual carefully prior
to use. Then enjoy cleaner, healthier living and
years of trouble-free performance.

Systems and other innovative BEAM products,
