2 Platinum Series Service Indicators
Bag Indicator
The Platinum Series central vacuums have an indicator on the control panel to display the approximate debris level of the vacuum’s replaceable dust bag. The green, yellow, orange, and red indicators will light, showing the bag debris level. The bag indicator displays the dust bag level whether the vacuum power is on or off.
NOTE: The debris level indicator light is meant to provide an approximation of the actual level in the dust bag. In a heavy use environment, (i.e. pet hair or new carpet fuzz) the bag may fill before the indicator reads full.
Service Indicator
The Platinum Series central vacuums have an indicator on the control panel to display the status of the vacuum’s motor and when the motor will require service. The service indicator displays the motor status whether the vacuum power is on or off.

3 Emptying a Platinum Series Central Vacuum Power Unit
Bagged Platinum Series
The debris bucket is the removable lower section of the power unit. The Platinum Series central vacuums contain a Model VMP600 slide-gate collar dust bag that is installed inside the debris bucket. The debris level in the dust bag is indicated by the front panel display of the vacuum. The dust bag should be replaced when the red bars of the bag level indicator light (bag full). Regular dust bag replacement will enhance performance and conform to the terms of the product warranty. The dust bag inside the debris bucket should be replaced five to six times a year under normal use.
The Platinum Series vacuums contain a self-cleaning inverted cloth filter. When the power unit is running, the cloth filter is pulled upward inside the vacuum body. When the power unit is turned off, the weighted center of the filter causes it to drop, depositing dirt and dust past the dust cone and into the debris bucket. It is normal to see some accumulation of dirt on the filter. The inverted cloth filter should not be removed for any reason except to replace it if it becomes damaged or torn.
To replace the dust bag, follow these easy steps:
1Make sure the power unit is disconnected from the electrical wall outlet.
2Swing the two bucket slide latches down to lower the debris bucket.
3Remove the debris bucket from the slide latch hangers.
4Remove the dust bag from the debris bucket and pull on the bag’s slide-gate to seal the bag.
5Dispose of the dust bag in a refuse container.
6Use your hand to expand the bag of a new VMP600 dust bag and place it into the debris bucket.
7Reach into the dust bag again and expand the bag against the sides of the debris bucket.
8Reattach the debris bucket on to the slide latch hangers.
9Swing the two bucket slide latches up to raise and seat the debris bucket.
10Reconnect the power unit to the electrical wall outlet.
11Press the RESET button for seven seconds to reset the bag indicator.

4 Emptying a Red Series Central Vacuum Power Unit
Bagless Red Series
The debris bucket is the removable lower section of the power unit. The debris bucket is semi-transparent, the dirt level can be seen through its sides. The debris bucket in the Red Series central vacuum must be checked periodically and emptied when it becomes 3/4 full. Regular emptying will enhance performance and conform to the terms of the product warranty. Dirt and debris are deposited in the debris bucket and it should be emptied five to six times a year under normal use.
The Red Series bagless vacuums contain a self-cleaning inverted cloth filter. When the power unit is running, the cloth filter is pulled upward inside the vacuum body. When the power unit is turned off, the weighted center of the filter causes it to drop, depositing dirt and dust into the debris bucket. It is normal to see some accumulation of dirt on the filter. The inverted cloth filter should not be removed for any reason except to replace it if it becomes damaged or torn.
To empty the debris bucket, follow these easy steps:
1Make sure the power unit is disconnected from the electrical wall outlet.
2Swing the two bucket slide latches down to lower the debris bucket.
3Remove the debris bucket from the slide latch hangers and empty the bucket into a refuse container.
4Reattach the debris bucket on to the slide latch hangers.
5Swing the two bucket slide latches up to raise and seat the debris bucket.
6Reconnect the power unit to the electrical wall outlet.

Be sure to have the exact model number, serial number, and the nature of the problem ready. If possible, CALL FROM THE SITE. We cannot effectively troubleshoot your system if you are not calling from the location where the equipment is installed or used.
