INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of a new Beam

Central Vacuum System. It is the built-in cleaning

appliance designed to help you clean your home

efficiently and effectively. Unlike conventional

vacuums that can recirculate dust, a Beam

system lifts dirt, dust mites, pollen, dander and

other allergens from floors, curtains, furniture

and other surfaces, and carries them away from

living areas to help improve indoor air quality.

It has been clinically proven to relieve allergy

symptoms.

To obtain the maximum benefit from your Beam

System, please read this manual carefully prior

to use. Then enjoy cleaner, healthier living and

years of trouble-free performance.

To reduce the risk of ﬁre, electric shock or injury:

• Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.

• Do not block the motor hood ventilation openings

and duct on the top of the power unit. Lack of

ventilation airﬂow will cause the motor to overheat.

• Do not locate the power unit in a high temperature

area or where it is inaccessible, for example, an attic

or crawl space.

• Mount the built-in vacuum system power unit no less

than 30cm from the ceiling or any adjacent wall and

at least 70cm from the ﬂoor. If the unit is not

exhausted outside, make sure the adjacent wall is at

least 30cm from the exhaust port. DO NOT exhaust

into a concealed area.

• Do not leave vacuum cleaner when plugged in.

Remove hose from inlet valve and unplug from outlet

when not in use and before servicing.

• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is

necessary when used by or near children.

• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.

• Use only as described in this manual. Use only

manufacturer’s recommended attachments.

• Some hoses contain electrical wires. Do not use if

damaged, cut or punctured. Avoid picking up sharp

objects.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The built-in vacuum system is designed for dry pick up of household dirt and dust. Avoid vacuuming up

hard or sharp objects to prevent hose and plastic pipe clogs or damage.

• Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If vacuum

cleaner is not working as it should, has been

dropped, damaged, left outdoors or dropped into

water, return it to a service center.

• Connect to a properly grounded (earthed) outlet only

(see grounding/earthing instructions).

• Do not use extension cords or outlets with

inadequate current carrying capacity.

• Turn off all controls before unplugging.

• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

GROUNDING (EARTHING)

INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded (earthed) and

is equipped with a cord having an equipment-

grounding (earthing) conductor and grounding

(earthing) plug. The plug must be plugged into an

appropriate outlet that is properly installed and

grounded (earthed) in accordance with all local

codes and ordinances.

DANGER

Improper connection of an equipment-grounding

(earthing) conductor can result in risk of electric

shock. Do not modify the plug provided with the

appliance. If it will not fit the outlet, have proper

outlet installed by a qualified technician. This

appliance is for use in a regular electrical circuit,

corresponding to the electrical standard in your

country.

PLANNING

If your home already has a system of plastic

tubing and inlet valves, you are ready to install

the power unit (refer to Power Unit Installation

section). If not, you may have the system installed

by a professional or you may choose to do it

yourself. If you install the system yourself, it is

important to carefully plan the location of each

inlet valve, the power unit, and the network of

plastic tubing. This booklet deals only with the

installation of the power unit; “How-To” booklets

generally are included with installation kits.

Power Unit location

The power unit is connected to inlet valves via a

system of lightweight plastic tubing installed in the

walls of your home.

The power unit should be located as far from the

general living area as possible, yet accessible

so you can remove the dirt receptacle, reach

the ﬁlter, and inspect the unit. Typical locations

are utility room, basement or garage. It is

recommended that the exhaust be vented outside;

never into a wall, a ceiling, or a concealed space

in the house.

Power Unit wiring

The power unit must be mounted within 1.8m of

a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet. The unit

requires regular electrical power. Be sure you will

not overload the circuit.

Power Unit installation

The power unit hangs on a mounting bracket

which is screwed to the wall. The bottom screws

of the mounting bracket should be about 1.2m up

from the ﬂoor for convenient removal of the dust

receptacle (or at least 70cm from the ﬂoor). For

proper motor cooling, mount the power unit at

least 30cm from the ceiling and any adjacent wall.

Mounting the Power Unit

When you have chosen a mounting location, you

can install the mounting bracket using the enclosed

screws. Drill the holes and tighten the screws to

hang the power unit. Please make sure to consider

the wall type when attaching the mounting bracket.

Align the power unit intake ﬁtting to the main trunk

line projecting from the wall. Securely tape each

joint, using duct or electrical tape. DO NOT GLUE.

Attach the exhaust pipe to the motor exhaust if

exhausting outdoors. Connect the two low voltage

wires located on the backside of the power unit

to the wires installed with the main trunk line. It

is recommended you secure the connection with

wire nuts. Be certain to comply with local electrical

codes and regulations. Plug the unit into a regular

electrical outlet. You are now ready to check the

installation of the unit:

• Be sure the ﬁlter is properly installed in the

power unit.

• Be sure the dirt receptacle is properly secured

to the power 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.

OPERATION

Your central vacuum system starts

and stops automatically. To turn the

system on, plug the hose into a wall

inlet valve. To turn it off, remove the

hose from the valve.

The hose handle may be equipped

with an optional on-off switch. It is

used to control the start and stop

of the power unit while the hose is

plugged into an inlet valve. This allows you to

control the system without unplugging the hose.

Overload-protection reset button

The central vacuum system features an overload

protection (circuit breaker) which can be reset

should the motor be overloaded causing the circuit

to open. If this occurs and the power unit fails to

operate, depress the reset button which is located

on the side of the power unit. If the protector

continues to trip; contact the authorized service

center nearest you.

Inlet valves

Plugging the hose into an inlet valve completes

a low-voltage (24-volt) electrical circuit which

activates a relay and turns on the power unit. To

turn off the power unit, unplug the hose from the

inlet. When unplugging the hose, hold the inlet

cover open for a few seconds to allow suction to

decrease and protect the inner seal.

An obstruction in the inlet valve may cause the

power unit to continue to run after the hose has been

removed from the inlet. To shut down the power unit,

check all the inlet valves and remove obstructions.

Hose use and care

The hose should be used and stored at

temperatures above 5°C. When not in use, hang

the hose on the hanger supplied. If the hose

becomes clogged, insert the wand end into the

utility inlet on the power unit. Turn on the power

unit using the manual switch and seal the extra

air-space by holding the hose ﬁrmly. This should

remove the obstruction. If the hose remains

clogged, insert an electrician’s ﬁsh tape (wire)

or garden hose through the hose to remove the

obstruction, being careful not to puncture the hose.

Disconnect hose handle from wands before storing.

Cleaning tools

The Beam hose and attachment set comes with

a telescopic wand and a variety of cleaning tools

allowing you to clean virtually any surface from

ﬂoor to ceiling. The tools can be used with the

wand or directly on the hose handle.

The combo tool is used for

all-around ﬂoor and general

cleaning and is used about

80% of the time. It allows

you to move from carpets to

hard ﬂoor surfaces without

stopping by switching the convenient toe switch

on top of the tool.

The round dusting brush

makes dusting quick and

easy. It can be used for

furniture, counters, wall

decorations, window areas, lamp shades or

wherever dusting is needed.

The upholstery nozzle

with slip-on brush is

convenient when cleaning

walls, furniture, curtains

or mattresses. It can be used with or without

the slip-on brush.

The crevice tool is ideal for

tight spaces and corners,

such as in the kitchen and

beneath/around cabinets. It is designed for narrow

spaces, crevices, along edges or other hard-to-

clean areas.

The snap-on, three-tool caddy

allows you to carry your most-

used tools directly on the

wand.

The hose hanger is used to

easily coil and store the hose

in a closet.

MAINTENANCE

Instructions provided in the booklet serve as a

guide to routine maintenance. Proper airﬂow or

suction can be maintained by keeping the dirt

receptacle and ﬁlter clean and the plastic tubing

and hose free from clogs.

Dirt Receptacle and Filter

Reduced airﬂow or suction indicates the central

vacuum system is not operating at maximum

efﬁciency. If the dirt receptacle is full and the ﬁlter

is clogged, no air can pass through the unit and no

cleaning can take place.

Emptying the dirt receptacle

Beam power units feature see-through windows

on the receptacle to tell at a glance when the

receptacle should be emptied. To remove the

receptacle, grasp the handles and turn the

receptacle to the left. Remove and empty the

contents. Return the receptacle and turn it to the

right. To avoid suction leakage make sure the

receptacle is securely attached.

Filter maintenance

Beam’s exclusive ﬁlter is permanent and self-

cleaning. However, if cleaning is desired, just

follow the steps listed on the next page:

NOTE: Disconnect power cord from electrical outlet

before cleaning the ﬁlter.

1. Remove the dirt receptacle.

2. Wrap a large plastic bag around the lower

portion of the power unit and hold ﬁrmly in

place.

3. Grasp the sewn-in weight at the bottom of the

ﬁlter through the plastic bag. Shake vigorously.

Dirt will fall into the bag.

4. Carefully remove the bag from the unit. Then

empty the dirt receptacle into the bag.

5. Replace the dirt receptacle on the power unit.

Cleaning Instruction Caution:

Do not brush ﬁlter.

Hint: Spilled dirt can easily be vacuumed by attaching

the hose to the utility inlet on the power unit and

activating the manual switch.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING

If you experience trouble with your central

vacuum system, follow the suggestions below

before calling for service.

Partial/total loss of suction power

• Be sure lid is on properly.

• Empty dirt receptacle.

• Clean cartridge ﬁlter.

• Be sure each inlet valve is properly closed.

• Check for hose obstruction.

Plug hose into any inlet valve. Then, as you check

each of the other inlet valves, raise the inlet cover

and hold your hand over the opening to check for

suction. If there is normal suction at each inlet,

then insert the hose into one of the other inlets. If

there is no suction through the hose at the second

inlet, the blockage is in the hose. To clear the

hose obstruction, insert a blunt instrument into the

hose (garden hose, wood dowel). If there is one

inlet valve without normal suction and you have

checked for hose blockage, then the blockage is

in the pipe system between the blocked inlet valve

and the power unit (see instructions below).

Clear blockage in pipes

Insert the hose into the inlet valve where there

is no suction; hold your hand over the hose end.

Release hand quickly. Repeat several times. If

blockage does not clear, contact your nearest

dealer/distributor.

Power unit will not start

• Push the safety overload protection reset button.

NOTE: The safety device breaks the circuit if the

motor is overloaded.

• Check for blown fuse in main house electric supply

box.

• Unplug the power unit from the electric supply

and check all wall inlet and motor wiring

connections for loose wires.

NOTE: The motor compartment is removable for

servicing; refer to the assembly instruction sheet for

procedure.

Power unit will not stop

• Check inside each inlet valve for obstruction of

low-voltage contacts. If no visual obstruction can

be detected, disconnect the cleaner from the

power receptacle and contact your nearest

service station/dealer.
