6.2 Place of installation
Before installing the central suction unit, a suction pipes network must be installed by qualified staff.
The qualified operators must also spot the best location to install the suction unit.
Suggestions for a correct installation are detailed here in after:
• If the suction unit has to be installed in a multistorey building, the suction unit must be located at the
lowest level of the building.
• The suction unit can be installed in a service room (for example in a garage or in a storage room),
sheltered from atmospheric agents and protected from moisture and temperature changes.
• Chose a space far from heat sources (burners or radiators).
• Leave free and well it space around the suction unit to allow trouble-free maintenance and repair
operations.
When the vacuum cleaner, for specific installation needs, is installed on the highest floors of the
building with regard to the level where the pipe network is housed (attic, garret etc.), we suggest
you to install a vacuum cleaner featuring a power category higher than the one needed to clean the
desired surface.
