WARNING: NEVER OPERATE THE VACUUM WITHOUT THE  
VACUUM BAG AND ALL THE FILTERS IN PLACE.  
3. Take out the HEPA-Type filter.  
HOW TO CHANGE AND CLEAN  
THE HEPA-TYPE FILTER  
4. Vigorously “TapClean” the HEPA-  
Type filter on a hard surface to  
remove any residual dust that  
might still be on the HEPA-Type  
filter.  
Note: The HEPA-Type filter is located  
at the back of the unit. (Fig. 17)  
Important Note: This is a HEPA-  
Type filter, and will stop most of the  
tiniest dust particles from re-entering  
the air you breathe. Because of this  
filtration performance, the filter will  
quickly accumulate many fine dust  
particles inside the white filter folds that  
are difficult to see but which will  
eventually block or reduce your suction  
power if not cleaned properly. Clean  
the filter after each use as described in  
this section.  
2. Before inserting the power plug into  
the wall outlet, make sure that your  
hands are dry.  
5. Do not dispose of or pick up  
anything that is burning or smoking  
such as cigarettes, matches or hot  
ashes.  
5. You can wash the HEPA-Type filter  
by running it under the tap allowing  
the water to run on the dirty side at  
least once a month or when suction  
is decreased.  
6. Do not use without garbage bag,  
filters, and vacuum dust bag in  
place.  
Important Note: We recommend  
washing it once a month or when  
suction is reduced. Always allow 24  
hours for drying before replacing into  
the vacuum. DO NOT USE A  
3. Do not vacuum any liquids.  
WASHING MACHINE TO WASH THE  
FILTER. DO NOT USE A HAIR  
DRYER OR CLOTHES DRYER TO  
DRY THE FILTER.  
The HEPA-Type filter should be  
cleaned after every use. To change  
and clean the HEPA-Type filter,  
perform the following:  
The HEPA-Type filter should however  
be replaced every three (3) to six (6)  
months to ensure peak performance of  
your vacuum.  
1. Unplug unit.  
2. Remove the HEPA-Type filter  
cover. (Fig. 17)  
Warning: Always clean the HEPA-  
Type filter before each use and during  
prolonged usage or risk motor damage.

Using Your Garbage Can & Central Vac System  
as a Traditional Garbage Can  
Turbine  
The Garbage Can & Central Vac System can be used as a garbage can and vacuum,  
or it can be used solely as a traditional garbage can. To use this multi-purpose unit as a  
traditional garbage can, simply leave the unit unplugged from outlet (follow the power  
cord storage instructions), and store the vacuum accessories for future use.  
Fig. 14  
No filters are needed for use as a traditional garbage can, however the use of plastic  
garbage bags are highly recommended for sanitary reasons. The garbage bin fits 8  
gallon garbage bags (not included with unit).  
Maintenance & Cleaning Instructions  
The following instructions should be followed in order to keep the unit clean and  
functioning:  
When garbage bag is full, remove cover and take out garbage bag.  
Should any garbage residue remain in the garbage bin, wipe clean using a damp  
cloth, and then wipe dry using a soft, dry cloth. A mild cleaning product may be used  
to remove persistent garbage residue.  
Before further use of garbage can, replace with a new garbage bag immediately.  
Wipe outer metal enclosure with a damp cloth. Should any garbage residue remain  
on the outer metal enclosure, wipe clean using a damp cloth, and then wipe dry  
using a soft, dry cloth. A mild cleaning product may be used to remove persistent  
garbage residue.

• If clogged hose or filter is found,  
unclog the hose and replace the  
filters.  
3. There may be some dust, lint, hair,  
MOTOR THERMOSTAT  
USING THE UNIT WITH AN  
AIR DRIVEN TURBO BRUSH  
etc on the turbine wheel. Remove  
as much of this as possible.  
Important: This unit is equipped with  
a motor protective thermostat. If for  
some reason the vacuum cleaner  
should overheat, the thermostat will  
automatically turn the unit off. Should  
this occur:  
• Push the power button once.  
• Disconnect the plug from the  
power source.  
Note: Your Air Driven Turbo Brush  
may be used with either the extension  
tubes or the flexible hose. The  
efficiency of your Air Driven Turbo  
brush depends on the bristle brush  
rotating at high speed. Strong air  
suction is needed to accomplish this. In  
order to ensure that maximum air  
suction is maintained, please read the  
following instructions:  
• Wait at least 45 minutes before  
attempting to reuse the vacuum.  
• After unit has cooled down for  
45 minutes, plug in the cleaner  
and push the power button. The  
vacuum should start again.  
• If the vacuum still does not start,  
contact customer service at  
1(800) 798-7398.  
4. You may also use the unit’s hose  
with crevice tool attached and use  
the vacuum to remove any  
additional debris from the turbine.  
5. Ensure that the turbine wheel  
moves freely by rotating it with your  
finger. If the turbine does not rotate,  
call EURO-PRO Customer Service  
for help at 1 (800) 798-7398.  
• Check the source of overheating  
problem (i.e. clogged hose, filter,  
or full vacuum bag).  
6. Once clean, close the top cover of  
the turbo brush and slide the locking  
latch toward the rear of the brush to  
lock.  
1. Change the vacuum bag when full.  
2. Ensure that the rotating brush is  
kept free of hair and string which  
may accumulate and decrease  
brush performance.  
Power Cord Storage  
When the unit is not in use, it is important to follow proper power cord storage  
instructions:  
How To Clean the
