Electrolux Quiet Clean PU3650, Installation Manual

Remember: Apply glue only to the outside of the tubing.

Hint: When upstairs, remember to aim the elbow 

downward.

 Other ways to reach the upstairs in your 

home are through the interiors of closets or pantries, 

beneath a staircase, or with fl oor inlets. If the inlet 

valve will be serviced from the attic, shorter pieces of 

tubing joined by couplings may be required because of 

overhead space restrictions. Again, measure and test 

fi t. When gluing, work quickly to prevent the glue from 

drying before the tubing reaches the inlet valve.

Installing an automatic sweep inlet.

An automatic sweep inlet — an automatic dustpan — 

a very popular option for the kitchen, mudroom and 

bath. Here are some pointers for installation. First,

determine the best place to install the sweep inlet —

usually beneath a cabinet — and remove any shoe 

molding. Drill a pilot hole

using a length of wire coat hanger

and fi nd the wire in the ceiling

below. Drill up through the fl oor

beneath the cabinet to check

for obstructions and make sure

you can connect the tubing to the main line. If there

are no obstructions, enlarge the hole in the fl oor

beneath the cabinet and check the clearances.

Now, return to the kitchen/mudroom/bath to measure 

and saw the rectangular hole for the sweep inlet and 

fasten the inlet into place. In the basement, attach 

the tubing and string the low-voltage wire just as you 

would for any inlet. 

Hint: See sweep inlet manual for 

details.

New construction inlet valve installation.

Select a site for the inlet valve and drill a pilot hole 

through the fl oor. Go below to check that the tubing 

path is clear of present, or future, obstructions such as 

fl oor joists, heating ducts, plumbing, wires, etc. At the 

inlet valve location, drill a 2-1/4" (5.7cm) diameter hole 

through the sole plate. The hole should be 2" (5.1cm) 

from the side of the stud and centered between the 

front and back edges of the sole plate 

(Fig. 05)

Glue a length of tubing into a stud-mounting bracket

assembly. Cut a length of low-voltage wiring, bring 

approximately 6" (15.24cm) through top wire guide 

hole in stud bracket assembly and double it back into 

elbow hole. Tape wire to tubing at assembly elbow

and again close to end, and tuck remaining wire into 

bottom of tubing. Screw plaster guard onto face of

assembly
