READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE.

When using an electric appliance, basic precautions should always be followed,
including the following:

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR PERSONAL INJURY:

• Do not use on wet surfaces or outdoors.

• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or
near children.

• Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer's recommended
attachments.

• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep
free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air flow.

• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all parts of body away from openings and
moving parts.

• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches,
or hot ashes.

• Do not use without dustbag and filter in place.

• Do not use to blow leaves or debris.

• Do not vacuum liquids or fine powders (such as drywall dust).

• Do not put any object on the unit.

• Ensure air flows freely around exhaust outlet.

• Do not install the unit horizontally.

• Do not use the pail as a wash pail.

• Do not use the pail as a stool.

• Turn off all controls before unplugging.

• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.

• Avoid picking up sharp objects.

• Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline or use
in areas where they may be present.

• Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If appliance is not working as it should,
if it has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it
to a service center.

• Do not unplug the unit by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

• Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands.

• Connect to a properly grounded outlet only. See grounding instructions on
page 8.

• Any servicing other than that recommended in this manual should be
performed by an authorized service facility.

• We recommend that your unit be inspected by a specialized technician once a
year.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

1. OPERATION

The power unit is located away from the everyday living areas of your home — usually
in the garage, basement or utility room. Through a network of strong, lightweight
tubing, the power unit connects to inlets strategically placed throughout your
home. When you are ready to clean, attach the wand and cleaning tool onto the
end of the hose. Open the inlet cover and insert the end of the hose into the inlet.
Use the ON/OFF switch on the hose handle to activate the power unit. As you
vacuum, dirt and dust are transported to the power unit where they remain in a
disposable bag.

NOTE: The rocker switch on the front of the power unit can also be used to turn

the power unit on.

Use the cleaning tools as you would for any other vacuum cleaner. Avoid picking
up pine needles, coffee sticks and other similar objects. These kinds of objects
may become lodged in the hose or tubing.

4. BAG REPLACEMENT

1. To remove the disposable bag, release both latches on sides of the unit by
pulling out and then pushing up. Remove the pail from unit. Grasp the edges of
the bag collar and pull down. The bag will slide off easily. Do not pull on the bag.

2. Unfold new bag.

3. Grasp collar where indicated on the bag and insert over bag adapter. Be
careful not to tear the bag. Ensure that the collar is positioned between the
taper ring and the bag stopper on the bag adapter (see illustration below). Put
the pail back in its place.

NOTE: A set of 3 replacement bags (model 391C) may be purchased from your

local Broan-NuTone Sales Outlet. To locate your nearest Broan-NuTone
Sales Outlet, call toll free 1-888-882-7626.

3. WHEN TO CHANGE BAG

With a 6 U.S. gallons capacity, under normal conditions the bag requires changing
approximately twice a year. If the bag is filled, you will notice a complete loss of
vacuum in the system. Unless this loss of vacuum is caused by a blockage in the
system, changing the bag will solve the problem.

NOTE: Even if not filled to capacity, if the bag seems tightly stretched when

removing the debris pail, changing the bag will prevent it from tearing.
