NOTES
INTRODUCTION
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 around your home. You attach cleaning tools to the
system's hose and insert the hose into the inlet. Inserting the hose
automatically turns on the power unit.
OPERATION
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, never use hose and tools on a
wet surface. To avoid fire hazard, do not use vacuum to pick up
matches, fireplace ashes, or smoking material.
When you are ready to clean, attach the wands and cleaning tool onto
the end of the hose. Open the inlet cover and insert the end of the hose
into the inlet.
For non-switched hoses: inserting the hose automatically turns on the
power unit; removing the hose shuts off the power unit. Some hoses have
switches which can be used to activate the power unit. NOTE: The inlet
located on the power unit does not automatically work when the hose is
inserted. To turn on the power unit inlet, use the rocker switch located on
the front of the power unit.
Use the cleaning tools as you would for any other vacuum cleaner.
Avoid picking up pine needles, popsicle sticks, and other similar objects.
These kinds of objects may become lodged in the hose or tubing.
VACUUM POWER CONTROL
The wand ends of the deluxe hoses are equipped with a control ring to
regulate suction. The control ring covers a “bleeder” hole. Open the hole to
reduce the suction for cleaning draperies, small rugs, and other light
fabrics. Some very thick, plush carpets with high density yarns also require
reduced suction to make the nozzle easier to push. Be sure to close the
control ring completely over the hole to produce the maximum power
required for most other cleaning tasks. (The economy hose does not have
a control ring.)

POWER & TURBINE BRUSHES AND HOSES
BAG REPLACEMENT
An extra disposable bag is located in the lower receptacle section of the
Power Unit. With a six gallon 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 correct the problem.

TOOL SETS & ACCESSORIES
CLEANING THE SECONDARY FILTER
NuTone offers a choice of three Tool Sets, each containing: Combination Floor/Rug Tool, Wand(s),
Dusting Brush, Upholstery Tool, Crevice Tool and Tool Caddy. These tools are similar to the tools
provided with any vacuum cleaner and are used for similar cleaning chores. Used with the Central
Cleaning System Hose, they allow you to conveniently and efficiently clean numerous areas in your
home, including walls, and surfaces above the floor.
A secondary safety filter, located between the motor and the soil bag,
provides protection against dirt being pulled into the motor if the disposable
bag should accidentally be torn. This filter should be checked and cleaned,
if necessary, when replacement bags are installed. Simply brush filter clean.
If the filter is excessively soiled, wash in a mild detergent and thoroughly dry
before replacing.
The Floor Rug Tool provided with the Deluxe Tool Set moves from carpeted to non-carpeted areas
without adjustment. With the Standard and Basic Tool Sets, a single-pedal toe-touch lever raises or
lowers the brush as you go from carpets to bare floors and back again. Each Floor/Rug Tool has a
360° universal swivel to permit you to move the tool freely and easily as you clean under, around and
on top of surfaces. Tools are handsome European styling in black or gray as shown.
IMPORTANT: Operation of the Power Unit without the secondary safety
filter installed will void the warranty.
REMOVING FILTER
Remove lower receptacle and
disposable bag. Using tab on edge
of filter, pull and loosen filter from
canister wall. Then, carefully pull
filter off of bag adapter.
