7. PROBLEM SOLVING

1. What to do if the vacuum cleaner experiences a loss of suction.
When the appliance has been used for some time and you notice that the suction power is weaker than
before or that there is no suction at all, take the following steps:
a) First check the dust container and empty it. After emptying the container, if suction remains
weak, clean the filter as well. The machine should work satisfactorily after carrying out these steps.
b) If some inlet valves work whilst others don't, this could be explained by blockages in the
ducting.
c) If there is no suction at any of the inlet valves unplug the air inlet connection from the
central vacuum unit.
If there is suction from the central vacuum unit, it means that there is an air leak or an obstruction close
to the central vacuum unit. Check all the inlets to find the point of the leak. If you cannot locate this
contact your service engineer.
d) If the central vacuum unit still provides no suction, this suggests that there is a problem
with the motor. Contact your service engineer.
RELIEF VALVE
The drawer compartment incorporates a relief valve (safety valve) so that in the event that there is a
blockage in the system your INTEGRAVAC is able to suck in clean air through this valve, thereby
ensuring a free circulation of air to the vacuum's motor, thereby protecting it from damage.
2. What to do if the machine will not switch on.
a) Check that the drawer compartment is completely inserted. Otherwise it will not be possible
to switch the central vacuum unit on.
b) Check the unit has electrical supply
c) If you still cannot turn the unit on, contact your service engineer.
3. What to do if the pipes are blocked
a) Switch the central vacuum unit on and off for a period of 30 seconds The resulting
fluctuation in air flow should dislodge the debris causing the blockage and propel it towards the central
vacuum unit.
b) Unplug the central vacuum unit and unfasten the dust container and remove it. Then
connect a conventional vacuum cleaner to the inlet valve without suction.
c) If the pipe is still blocked, contact your service engineer.
4. What to do if you suck up water
a) In the event that you accidentally vacuum up water it is recommended that you connect the
LIQUID AND ASH SEPARATOR (SACH product code AL7033-SC) between the INTEGRA VAC and the pipe
network and keep it running for 15 minutes to suck up all the water which has entered the pipe network.
b) In the event that water has entered the filter and the central vacuum unit, unplug it from the
mains immediately and contact your service engineer.
