Installation guide

1 INSTALLATION

1.1 POSITIONING OF THE CENTRAL UNIT

l For detailed instructions for installation, please refer to the separate instructions for installing Allaway

central vacuum cleaning systems, which are supplied as standard with pipe kits PPK-44 and PPC-44 and

can also be ordered separately. The instructions can also be found on our website at www.allaway..

n Please follow local regulations for installations.

n The room in which the central unit is installed must be sufciently spacious and dust-free to allow

for the cooling air required for the motor.

n The temperature of the room in which the central unit is located must not drop below +5 ° C or

rise above +35 °C, even while the unit is operational. The heat produced by the motor of the central

unit is released into the room. It is therefore important to ensure that air can circulate freely around

the unit and that the unit is not covered with textiles, for example, and that the room is adequately

ventilated.

n In addition to storerooms and other utility facilities, the TE-series central units can also be installed

within the actual living quarters, such as in the utility room, a den or a cupboard. Furthermore, C

30 and C 40 can also be located in damp or even wet areas, such as the washroom, thanks to their

high drip-proof casing class (splash-proof IPX4). C 30, C 40 = double insulated, protection class II.

C 40 LCD = earthed, protection class I.

n The central unit is connected to a 230V power socket protected with a slow fuse of at least 10 A

or an automatic fuse of at least 16 A.

Never store or handle fammable or corrosive materials in the room where

the central unit is located.

n The exhaust pipe of the central unit is always led outside. We recommend that a mufer (accessory)

be tted onto the exhaust pipe. The mufer should be positioned as close to the end of the exhaust

pipe as possible for maximum power. Mufers must not be installed on the suction side.

2 MAINTENANCE

2.1 EMPTYING THE DUST CANISTER

The dust canister’s volume is approximately 13 or 20 litres depending of the model. The intervals for

emptying the dust canister can be established with experience. The guideline is that in domestic use the

dust canister should be emptied every three months or so. The canister must be emptied before the

level of dust reaches the bottom of the quick release clips. This helps to prevent dust seeping over the

edges of the canister in connection with emptying it.

Undo the quick release clips (1) of the dust canister. The dust canister (2) is now suspended inside the

central unit. Take hold of the clips and pull the dust canister outwards to empty it. Carefully clean the

sealing (3) and then ret the dust canister into place.

It is recommended that the dust canister be washed with a mild detergent once a year. Make a note of

any maintenance you perform in the Maintenance Log on page 37 to help keep track of maintenance

intervals.
