Do not tamper with, bypass or remove the safety devices installed on the system. Failure to observe
these instructions may cause risks for the safety or health of persons.
Safety during maintenance
Personnel carrying out any kind of routine maintenance on the system during its entire lifespan must
possess specific technical skills, special capacities and acquired experience recognized in the sector
in question.
The absence of these requisites may cause risks for the safety or health of persons.
During normal use or during any kind of operations on the system, the safety distances around it
must be maintained in order to avoid causing risks for the safety or health of persons. For some
operations the help of one or more assistants may be necessary.

1.4. Rec mmendati ns f r use
In case of fire do not use water for switching off. Failure to observe this instruction
may expose the operator to the risk of electric shock.
•Vacuum units are destined f r use in residential buildings. Their use during building work may
cause serious deterioration that is not covered by the guarantee. D n t suck up plaster, cement
r rubble. These perati ns can be perf rmed using the liquid cleaner access ry (see accessories
brochure).
•Do not use the machine for inappropriate purposes. Do not suck up glowing embers, cigarette ends
still lit, inflammable products or materials that could cause flames in the dust collection container,
materials with a high risk of explosions or materials that individually are inert but that when mixed
together may cause dangerous chemical reactions.
•It is prohibited to use vacuum units for unintended purposes in industrial facilities in the presence
of values of temperatures, pressure and humidity in excess of those of normal workplaces.
•Do not suck up liquids, ashes in fireplaces, large quantities of flour, printer toner, building site dust,
fine powder, cement or plaster.
•Unplug the unit from the 230V power supply wall socket in these cases:
I. If the main vacuum unit receives an impact.
II. If maintenance or repair operations are necessary, and always before any other kind of work.
III. If the system is not to be used for a long period.
•Do not under any circumstances whatsoever work on the main unit while it is operating.
• Wear protective gloves and a facemask for all maintenance work (emptying of dust container,
cleaning or replacement of filter).
• Use only original spare parts.
• Do not use the main vacuum unit without the filter.
• After all maintenance operations ensure that the filter has been replaced and correctly tightened.
• Do not obstruct air inlets or outlets.
• Do not allow parts of the body to be kept in contact with accessories of the main vacuum unit and
never direct the suction mouthpiece toward persons or animals.

2. Product Description
2.1. Den minati n
The product name of “Residential Vacuum Units” of Series GDA means all equipments realized for the
cleaning of housing, local and private buildings.
Residential Vacuum Units, use a suction turbine with an electric motor that generates low
pressure when switched on. The air sucked in is channelled into a separator, where dust particles
fall into a collection container. Finer particles are drawn towards the upper part of the separator,
where they are trapped by the filter cartridge. The filtered air is then expelled towards the exterior
through the outlet ducts.

3. Handling and unpacking
The vacuum unit is shipped in a cardboard box with appropriate reinforcements to protect it against impact
during transport and delivery. We recommend that you do not remove the packaging until installation to
prevent damage.
Never turn the Central still packed.
Do not use cutters for removing of the package
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage caused by incorrectly opening
packaging.
Handling operations use the appropriate personal protective equipment.
Failure to use the appropriate DPI during handling and unpacking exhibits
the operator to the risk of crushing the foot for stability loss.
Failure to use the glove does not guarantee a secure grip in the handling with the risk of an
accidental fall.
1. OVIM
Upon delivery, you must immediately check the compliance and integrity of the material
with the carrier not to give rise to claims for damages not attributable to transport.

This equipment is designed to be installed by suitably trained personnel and trained.
ATTENTION: The entire system must be installed by qualified personnel in full compliance
with standards of workmanship and with applicable standards and regulations.
4.1. Ch ice f installati n p siti n f r main vacuum unit
The choice of installation position must be based on these criteria:
• The main vacuum unit must be installed indoor in well ventilated rooms, preferably in a service
room on the lowest floor of the building, like garage and technical service room. External places
are allowed, provided that the vacuum unit is always protected from inclement weather.
• The selected position must have a clear space around the main vacuum unit and well lit so as to
make easy maintenance and repair.
• The wall mounts must allow the installation of the main vacuum unit off the ground at varying
heights depending on the model as shown to cap.4.2 that allow easy maintenance.
• The main vacuum unit must not be installed in rooms where:
- There is a source of heat in the immediate vicinity
- The temperature can reach values lower than 5 ° C and above 35 ° C
- The humidity is very high or flooding may occur
- Flammable or explosive products are stored or handled.
• The installation position must permit the fitting of air expulsion pipes no longer than 5 metres
with pipes diam. 50 mm. After this distance, pipes diam. 63 mm must be used.
Please use sensors to detect electrical traces before drilling the wall
