IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The AIRVAC Red Series Cleaning Systems

Through many years of continuous use -- and through quality tests that are ongoing at our
factory -- AirVac central vacuums, attachments and accessories have built a remarkable
record for cleaning effectiveness and safety. However, there are potential haz ards that c ould
occur if the system is not operated correctly and safely. The following l i s t of Do’s and Don’ts
will help you avoid problems and ensure many hours of safe and efficient cleaning.

so could result in elect ri cal shock or sudden start -up of the brush.

nozzle.

< USE extra care when cleaning on stairs.
< DO NOT use outdoors, on wet surfaces, or to pic kup spills of any k ind . Ele ct ric shock c ould

< DO NOT put any objects into openings. Do not use with all openings blocked; keep free of dust,

lint, hair and anything that may reduce airflow.

The dirt canister in your centra l vacuum s ystem m ust be chec ked periodic ally and
emptied when it becomes 3/4 full. Regular emptying will enhance performance and
conform to the terms of the product warranty. The dirt canister is the removable lower
section of the power unit. This canis ter should be de tached and emptied at regular
intervals.

Dirt and debris are deposited in the dirt canister attached to bottom of the power unit,
and should be empt ied five to six times a year under normal use. T o empty the
canister, follow these easy steps:

1 Make sure power unit is disconnected from the electrical wall outlet.
2 Unsnap two latches on each side of the central vacuum by pulling up from the

bottom of the latch.

3 Empty the dirt canister into a refuse container.
4 To reattach the canister, position latches over hooks, press down to lock each

latch.

5 Reconnect the power unit into an electrical wall outlet.

The Red series VA C is a m aintenance free power unit which uses a s elf
cleaning inverted cloth bag. When the power unit is running, the cloth bag is
inverted to m aximi ze fil trat ion from t he com pl ete s urfac e area of t he fil te r .
When the power unit is tur ned off, the weighted center of the bag drops, thus
removing most of the debris. When empt ying the dust receptacle, som e
accumulation of dirt will be present on the filter - THIS IS NORMAL. The
cloth bag should not be removed for any reason except to replace it if i t
becomes damaged or torn.

NOTE: Removal of the inverted cloth ba g is NOT required for cleaning.
