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.fi.
Please follow local regulations for installations.
The room in which the central unit is installed must be sufficiently spacious and dust-free to allow
for the cooling air required for the motor.
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.
If the central unit is to be installed in a cupboard, pay particular attention to instructions relating
to the size and arrangement of ventilation holes.
In addition to storerooms and other utility facilities, the V- / DV30 series central units can also be
installed within the actual living quarters, such as in the utility room, a den or a cleaning cupboard.
Furthermore, they 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]. V3, DV30 and V4 are double insulated, protection
class II and V6 is grounded, protection class I.
The central unit is connected to a 230V power socket protected with a slow fuse of at least 10A
or an automatic fuse of at least 16A.
Never store or handle flammable or corrosive materials in the room where the
central unit is located.
The exhaust pipe of the central unit is always led outside. We recommend that a muffler be fitted
onto the exhaust pipe. The muffler should be positioned as close to the end of the exhaust pipe as
possible for maximum power. Mufflers must not be installed on the suction side.
2 MAINTENANCE
2.1 Emptying the Dust Canister
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.
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 29 to help keep track of maintenance intervals.
