Broan VX12000C manual Vacuum Power Control, When to Empty the Debris Pail, Emptying Debris Pail

VACUUM POWER CONTROL

The wand ends of the deluxe hoses are equipped with a control ring to regulate suction. The control ring covers a “bleeder” hole. Open the hole to reduce the suction for cleaning draperies, small rugs, and other light fabrics. Some very thick, plush carpets with high density yarns also require reduced suction to make the nozzle easier to push. Be sure to close the control ring completely over the hole to produce the maximum power required for most other cleaning tasks.

WHEN TO EMPTY THE DEBRIS PAIL

Broan model VX3000C has a single indicator light that remains green. The level of pail fill for this model can be determined by either viewing through the window on the pail or releasing the carry handles and checking the level of debris in the pail.

Broan models VX6000C & VX12000C have the LED indicator that shows the status of the level of debris in the pail. The first three lights remain green as pail fills. The fourth light is amber and will come on to alert you that the pail is nearly full. When the fifth light turns red it is time to empty the pail (see

CONTROL PANEL DIAGRAM A).

EMPTYING THE

DEBRIS PAIL

Your power unit has a permanent filter that is self cleaning under normal conditions. The filter protects the motor and stops small dirt particles from escaping to the outside of the power unit. The filter cleans itself by moving up when the power unit starts, and dropping down when the unit is turned off. The filter can be removed by means of a pull-tab for cleaning if desired. Be sure to reinstall properly. Correct placement is critical to insure proper protection for the motor.

1.Release both carry handles on side of the unit by pulling out and then pushing up. (FIGURE 14). Holding the pail by the handles, lower it from unit (FIGURE 15).

2.Carry pail to trash receptacle and empty.

3.Reattach pail using handles.

4.Push Reset button on control panel. Light on control panel

will change to green on Broan models VX6000C & VX12000C.

When emptying the debris pail, it is a good idea to also clear any dust and dirt that may have accumulated on the internal filter media. To do this, simply open the direct door, reach in and tap the top of the internal filter (FIGURE 16). This will release any loose debris into the pail. You may empty the pail again at this point but it is not necessary as any amounts of dirt and dust will be minimal. Close the door.
