Beam Electrolux Platinum - Manual (Page 9)

Instructions provided in the booklet serve as
a guide to routine maintenance. Proper airflow
and suction can be maintained by keeping the
dirt receptacle and filter clean and the plastic
tubing and hose free from clogs.
Dirt Receptacle and Filter
Reduced airflow or suction indicates the central
vacuum system is not operating at maximum
efficiency. If the dirt receptacle is full and the
filter is clogged, no air can pass through the
unit and no cleaning can take place.
CAUTION: Disconnect power cord from
electrical outlet before removing the dirt
receptacle.
Some models feature see-through windows
on the receptacle to tell at a glance when the
receptacle should be emptied. To remove the
receptacle, grasp the handles and turn the
receptacle to the left. Remove and empty the
contents. Return the receptacle and turn it to
the right (refer to figure 6). To avoid suction
leakage make sure the receptacle is securely
attached.
Filter maintenance
BEAM’s exclusive filter is permanent and self-
cleaning. However, if cleaning is desired, follow
the steps listed below:
NOTE: Do not operate this unit without the
filter in place.
CAUTION: Disconnect power cord from
electrical outlet before removing the dirt
receptacle.
Remove the dirt receptacle. 1.
Wrap a large plastic bag around the lower 2.
portion of the power unit and hold firmly in
place.
Grasp the sewn-in weight at the bottom
3.
of the filter through the plastic bag. Shake
vigorously. Dirt will fall into the bag.
Carefully remove the bag from the unit.
4.
Place the empty dirt receptacle on the
power unit.
Cleaning Instruction Notice: Do not brush filter
Hint: Spilled dirt can be easily be vacuumed
by attaching the hose to the utility inlet on the
power unit and activating the manual switch.
