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.
WHEN TO EMPTY THE
DEBRIS PAIL
Broan model VX3000C has a single indicator light that
remains green. The level of pail fill for this model can be
determined by either viewing through the window on the pail or
releasing the carry handles and checking the level of debris in
the pail.
Broan models VX6000C & VX12000C have the LED indicators
that show the status of the level of debris in the pail. The first
three lights remain green as pail fills. The fourth light is amber
and will come on to alert you that the pail is nearly full. When
the fifth light turns red it is time to empty the pail (see
CONTROL PANEL DIAGRAM A below).
EMPTYING THE
DEBRIS PAIL
Your power unit has a permanent filter that is self cleaning
under normal conditions. The filter protects the motor and
stops small dirt particles from escaping to the outside of the
power unit. The filter cleans itself by moving up when the
power unit starts, and dropping down when the unit is turned
off. The filter can be removed by means of a pull-tab for
cleaning if desired. Be sure to reinstall properly. Correct
placement is critical to insure proper protection for the motor.
1. Release both carry handles on side of the unit by pulling
out and then pushing up. (FIGURE 14). Holding the pail by
the handles, lower it from unit (FIGURE 15).
2. Carry pail to trash receptacle and empty.
3. Reattach pail using handles.
4. Push Reset button on control panel. Light on control panel
will change to green on Broan models VX6000C
& VX12000C.
CLEANING THE
INTERNAL FILTER
When emptying the debris
pail, it is a good idea to also
clear any dust and dirt that
may have accumulated on
the internal filter media. To
do this, simply open the
direct door, reach in and tap
the top of the internal filter
(FIGURE 16). This will
release any loose debris into
the pail. You may empty the
pail again at this point but it
is not necessary as any
amounts of dirt and dust will
be minimal. Close the door.
