VAC3 - Central Vacuum System

9. PROBLEM SOLVING
When the appliance has been used for some time and you notice that the suction power is weaker than
before or that there is no suction at all, take the following steps:
a) First check the dust container and empty it. After emptying the container, if suction remains weak,
clean the filter as well. The machine should work satisfactorily after carrying out these steps.
b) If some inlet valves work whilst others don’t, this could be explained by blockages in the ducting.
c) If there is no suction at any of the inlet valves unplug the air inlet connection from the central vacuum
unit.
If there is suction from the central vacuum unit, it means that there is an air leak or an obstruction close
to the central vacuum unit. Check all the inlets to find the point of the leak. If you cannot locate this,
contact your service engineer.
d) If the central vacuum unit still provides no suction, this suggests there is a problem with the motor.
Contact your service engineer.
