INSTALLATION

Your home is most likely already fi tted with the system of plastic
pipes and inlet valves and you are ready to install the central power
unit. If your home is not fi tted for a central vacuum system, you can
contract to have the Electrolux Central Vacuum System installed
by a professional by contacting your local dealer or distributor or
choose to do-it-yourself.
The central power unit should be located as far away from the general
living area as possible, yet accessible so you can remove the dirt
receptacle, reach the filter, and inspect the central power unit.
A typical location would be in a garage, where you could vacuum
your car or garage area, and where emptying the dirt receptacle
and cleaning the filter would be more convenient. Other suitable
locations are in the basement, laundry room, or ventilated
storage room.
CAUTION
Use caution when drilling holes in walls as gas pipelines and water
pipes and electrical wires may be present. Holes in the masonry
are only allowable if through it its standing stability is not impaired.
Holes in wood studs should be drilled. Depending on what material
your home is built with, use the appropriate anchors to hang your
power unit. Power unit simply slides onto mounting bracket and
clicks into place.

• Place the central power unit in a place that is removed from
the general living area. The exhaust should be easy to connect
to a ventilation pipe. This can be done regardless of the house's
construction material.
• Locate the two low voltage wires near the main pipe. Remove
the insulation from the low volt wire. Insert the low volt wire into
the spring loaded low volt connectors. Be certain you comply
with your local electrical codes and regulations.
Refer to page 7 - Image 4
• Make sure there is a dedicated electric socket for the power unit.
• Plug in your CVS with the supplied power cord.
Your Electrolux Oxygen CVS does not require the assembly of a
muffl er. Your CVS has the muffl er installed internally. You may however
desire to exhaust the air outside. In this case you will need to attach
the exhaust adapter. This will convert the size of the exhaust to the
diameter of the central vacuum pipe.
