INCLUDED
• Vroom– with retractable hose featuring crevice tool hose end
• Convertible Floor/Rug Tool
• Adjustable Wand
• Installation Components
GENERAL INFORMATION
Vroom is a built-in, self-contained, easy access, hose system designed to put quick clean-up
capability in places you need it most – kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, mudrooms and
garages. The Vroom easily installs in a base cabinet, making quick cleaning jobs within reach.
You can easily access the hose of the Vroom inside your cabinet, clean up your dry mess and
the hose automatically retracts when vacuuming is complete. There is no need for a vacuum or
broom – Vroom does the job of both. This innovative product will revolutionize the way you clean.
WARRANTY REGISTRATION
Registration of the Vroom ensures a fast and easy resolution to your warranty requirements. To
register simply register online at www.VroomRegistration.com or complete the green registration
card located with your Vroom.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The Vroom turns on automatically by pulling up and slightly
twisting the handle from the docking station. The handle
docking station needs to be at a 90° angle to start the
system. Then pull out the amount of hose you need (up to 24
feet) and clean up any dry spill in seconds. The debris that is
cleaned up will be transported through your central vacuum
tubing back to the dirt canister located on the power unit.
The airflow from your vacuum system will assist in retracting
the hose. Simply walk the hose back toward the cabinet. The
system will shut off when you place the hose handle
back into the docking station.

Align the bracket
to the reference
marks and
predrill the 2
holes. Install the
2 screws through
the bracket into
the floor of the
cabinet.
Place the Vroom
back into the
bracket and
properly position.
Then use two
black wood
screws (provided)
to secure the
Vroom to the
Base Bracket. WARNING: using oversized
screws can damage the internal workings of
the Vroom unit.
From the side, the unit
should be positioned as
far forward as possible
while still allowing the
cabinet door to close
without hitting the hose
handle.
Step
2
Set the product inside the
cabinet for positioning.
The side of the unit should
be lined up with the door
frame opening to allow
clearance for removing the
hose handle without hitting
the door frame.
Step
1
Positioning the Unit...
Secure the unit to
the door frame.
Pre-drill a pilot hole in
the door frame before
driving screw to prevent
splitting the wood (use a
5/64 drill bit).
Step
3
Secure the unit to
the cabinet side
wall. Pre-drill a pilot
hole in the side wall
before driving screw
to prevent splitting
the wood (use a 5/64
drill bit).
OR
Determine Position: position the top bracket
(consists of the bracket and sliding arm). There are
two options to secure the top of the unit:
Do not insert screws at this time. The Vroom will need to
be removed (see step 6).
Check to make sure that there is
clearance for the door and proper
hose operation.
Step

Step
7
Remove the unit
Step
6
Positioning the Base Bracket
Position the unit and make
reference marks for the
bracket. (A piece of masking
tape to mark on works well.)
Step

Step

Dry fit your combination
of fittings/tubing to ensure
good positioning. Remove
your dry fit assembly, glue
assembly and attach to the
trunk line. Do not glue the
vacuum line to the black
fitting on the unit. Be sure
to slide the escutcheon onto
the tubing before gluing.
Attach the low voltage wires
from the Vroom to the low
voltage wires coming from
the trunk line using wire
nuts.
Step
3
To test the unit,
simply lift the
handle out of the
docking station
until you feel the
switch engage (90
degrees). This will
turn on the central
vacuum unit and
activate the Vroom.
Properly installed unit
Locate the path for your vacuum line from the trunk
line and make reference marks for drilling. Drill a pilot
hole to ensure a clear
path below the cabinet.
Check underneath to
ensure there are no
obstructions before
drilling.
Step
1
Using a hole saw bore a
2-1/4” hole through the
cabinet and the floor.
Step
2
Connecting to the Vacuum Line
“Floor” & “Retrofit” installations:
It is always best to accurately measure for drilling
considering all possible obstacles. Drill a pilot hole with
1/8” bit (long) and check from lower level to make sure
you will be clearing those obstacles. Make sure you
have access to the trunk line.
ATTENTION: Do not glue the vacuum line to the black
fitting (provided) on the unit: it is a friction fit for easy
removal.
“Through the wall” installations
ATTENTION: Do not glue
the vacuum line to the
black fitting (provided)
on the unit: it is a friction
fit for easy removal.
Push any
excess wire
through the
escutcheon
plate.
Step
3
To test the unit,
simply lift the
handle out of
the docking
station until you
feel the switch
engage (90
degrees). This
will turn on the
central vacuum
unit and activate
the Vroom.
Dry fit your assembly with the escutcheon plate (label
side down) and wire in place (the escutcheon plate is
notched for the wire
to run through it along
side the tubing). Glue
and assemble your fittings/tubing and attach
to the trunk line. Do
not glue the vacuum
line to the black fitting
on the unit. Attach the
low voltage wires from
the Vroom to the low
voltage wires coming
from the trunk line
using wire nuts.
With the unit in place
trim out the stub
(from your trunk line)
by using tubing to tie
into the Vroom.

CHANGING THE BAG
In order to keep your Vroom Solo operating at peak performance it is necessary to perform
simple, routine maintenance to the system. The Vroom Solo is equipped with a one gallon
capacity bag and secondary filter & support (see illustration below for replacement reference).
The collection bag needs to be replaced at regular intervals based on how frequently the system
is used. To maintain vacuum power, replace the bag (part number 7797-V) when it is 2/3 to 3/4
full.
TO CHANGE THE FILTER BAG: (Replacement bag 7797-V)
Locate the Vacuum Canister. Remove the lid by placing fingers in hand-hold of lid. Now the
bag is visible. Pull the bag collar off the connector and dispose of bag. Check to be certain the
filter and filter supports are positioned correctly (see Filter and filter supports instructions below).
Open the new bag (part number 7797-V) by gently expanding the pleats on the bag. Slide the
bag collar securely onto the connector. Replace the lid. Do not operate the Vroom Solo without
the proper bag and filters installed.
FILTER AND FILTER SUPPORTS
(Filter Supports part number 4934/4928: Filter part number 4929)
The secondary filters and filter support are in place to insure proper airflow around the collection
bag. It is usually not necessary to replace these parts, but it is important to check that they
are located properly each time your replace the collection bag. (See illustration for proper
positioning)
NOTE: This appliance has a
THERMAL PROTECTOR built into
the motor to prevent overheating. If
motor will not operate, wait until the
motor cools, then pull power cord
plug out of receptacle– re-insert to
reset. If motor brushes or bearings
are worn out, the thermal protector
will trip off again after a short period
of time. If this happens, service for
this and any other servicing should
be performed by an authorized
dealer.
To order replacement parts (7797-V, 4934, 4928, 4928) go to www.centralvachq.com or call
H-P Products at 1-800-822-8356.
