4 SAFETY DEVICES
The central units are equipped with safety devices that stop the unit in case of a
malfunction. If the issue causing the safety devices to trip is not resolved and the
system is used regardless of the malfunction, damage to the system may occur.
This is why the safety devices should not be considered as indicators of when the
dust canister requires emptying or when the lter needs servicing, or otherwise as
means of enabling the system to be used or installed in a manner contradictory to
the instructions.
The central unit is equipped with an overload protector that stops the unit in case of an electrical
overload or malfunction. The overload protector cannot be reset and must be replaced by a qualied
electrical engineer. In connection with replacing the overload protector, the cause of tripping must be
investigated and resolved along with any other faults.
3.2 Servicing the Filter (Figure 1)
The central unit is equipped with a lter (2) that protects the turbine against dust. The lter must be
intact and correctly in place. New lters can be purchased from all leading retailers and authorised
Allaway service dealers.
Unplug the power cord (6) from the wall socket. Remove and empty the dust canister (5). Remove
the sealing cone (sealing and cone). Remove the lter cover carefully if the cover is in use. Open
the fastening nut (3) below the lter and remove the lter carefully. Clean the lter by brushing it
carefully. Replace the lter with a new one if suction power has diminished or the lter is damaged.
Do not allow dirt to get inside the lter.
Never clean the lter with water, compressed air or by beating it.
Remove any loose dust from the lter chamber. Replace the lter and fastening nut (3). Tighten the
fastening nut by hand. Clean the sealing surfaces of the sealing cone carefully. Replace the sealing
cone. Replace the dust canister. Plug the power cord into the wall socket.
We recommend that the lter is replaced at least every 3 years. If a dust bag is used,
only replace the lter when necessary.
3.3 Cleaning Accessories
Tell children how to use the system and supervise them while they do so! The speed
and vacuum power of the airow in the suction hose and the nozzles are so great
that they could, if used carelessly, cause damage to eyes and ears, for example.
The cleaning accessories are subject to wear and tear, and they must be replaced when necessary. Their
life can be extended signicantly by cleaning them from accumulated dirt after use and by storing them
appropriately.
After vacuuming, detach the telescopic wand and the nozzles from the handle, and store them in the
nozzle holder with the brush of the oor/carpet nozzle retracted. Avoid storing the cleaning accessories
in direct sunlight, as long-term exposure to UV light makes the plastic parts, and especially the hose, go
brittle, thus shortening their serviceable life. Store the hose in the suction hose stand.
Separate instructions for use and maintenance are supplied with cleaning sets that are sold individually.
5 USEFUL TIPS
5.1 What to Do if the Central Unit Will Not Start
Check that the 230V power supply is intact.
Check whether the central unit can be started from the other wall
inlets.
 Check that the low voltage wires (gure 1; 7) are connected correctly
to the central unit.
Check whether the central unit can be started via the low voltage
connector (gure 1; 7) of the central unit by closing the start circuit
with a piece of metal wire (as shown in gure 2 depending on the central
unit model).
In case of suction hoses that are equipped with a handle start mechanism,
check that the start circuit inside the hose is intact. If the central unit
can be started by connecting the contact pins with a piece of metal wire,
for example, but not with the control switch on the handle, the fault is
Figure 2
either in the hose or in the switch.
 If the central unit can be started via the low voltage connector but not by opening a wall inlet,
check that the low voltage wires are connected to the central unit and the wall inlets and that there
are no breaks in the wires.
Check whether the overheat protector inside the unit has tripped as a result of the turbine
overheating. If this is the case, wait for the turbine to cool down sufciently (approximately 15
minutes) and then check that the lter is not blocked, the dust canister or the dust bag are not full,
and that there are no blockages in the wall inlets, the exhaust pipe or the cleaning accessories.
 Check whether the overload protector has tripped. If this is the case, the start relay of the central
unit will make a clicking sound but the motor will not start; contact an authorised Allaway service
dealer.
The overheat protector of the turbine is located inside the unit and it stops the central unit in case the
turbine overheats. Wait until the turbine has cooled down and the overheat protector has been reset
(approximately 10-15 min.). Find out why the overheat protector has tripped and eliminate the cause (e.g.
full dust canister, blocked lter, blockage in the pipe system, wall inlet, exhaust pipe, cleaning accessories
or the blow-out grating). If whatever it is that causes the safety devices to trip is not resolved and the
system is used regardless of the malfunction, damage to the system may occur.
There are no parts for the user to maintain inside the central unit’s motor housing
(gure 1; components 8 and 9). We recommend that the need for maintenance
and replacement for the electric motor’s turbine and other parts inside the motor
housing are estimated by an authorised Allaway service dealer after approx. 600
hours of use. This corresponds to approx. 8 years when the device is used an average
of an hour and a half per week.
