The 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
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 con-
venient. Other suitable locations
are in the basement, laundry room, or ventilated storage
room. It is recommended that the exhaust be vented outside;
never into a wall, a ceiling, or a concealed space in the house.

Place the power unit within six feet of a dedicated,
grounded electric outlet. The unit requires 120 volt,
60 cycle AC power. Be sure you will not overload the circuit.

You are now ready to install the power unit. Be sure
the power unit will be located at least 12 inches from the
ceiling and any adjacent walls and at least 12 inches from
the floor. The motor hood ventilation should never
be obstructed. Check to be sure you will be able to
occasionally remove the dirt receptacle, reach the filter,
and inspect the power unit.
In the chosen mounting loca-
tion, compare the distance
between the wall studs and the
power unit mounting bracket. If
the mounting bracket cannot
mount on one of the wall studs,
mount two boards horizontally
between the studs and then
attach the mounting bracket to
these.
Once the bracket is on the wall,
you can now hang the power unit. With the unit on the
wall, align the power unit intake fitting with the main pipe
projecting from the wall and connect these together.

Locate the two low voltage wires near the main pipe and
attach them to the control panel on the power unit using
the provided low volt connections. Be certain you comply
with your local electrical codes and regulations. Plug the
unit into the electrical outlet. You are now ready to check
the installation of the unit:
• Plug the hose into each inlet valve to be sure
the electrical contacts operate properly.
• Check each inlet valve for air leaks
• Check each pipe connection for air leaks.
• Be sure the dirt receptacle is properly secured
to the power unit.
• Be sure the filter is properly installed
in the power unit.
Your cleaning system is ready to use.

The Kenmore Vacuum System is designed to provide the
utmost in dust-free, quiet cleaning. The power unit, which
is mounted in a remote area of your home,
is connected to centrally located inlet valves with
a system of lightweight plastic pipes. Using the cleaner
is as simple as inserting the vacuum hose into an inlet
valve after attaching the appropriate tool.

The built-in vacuum system features an overload
protection device which can be reset should the motor be
overloaded causing the circuit to open. Should this
happen and the power unit fails to operate, unplug power
cord from receptacle to power down, then plug the unit
back in to receptacle. If the protector continues to trip,
contact the authorized service center nearest you.
