How Does A Beam Central Vacuum System Work? |
| ANSWER |
| To create lightweight, powerful cleaning,
better air quality and less noise, the Beam power unit is
typically located in the basement or garage, and is connected
to convenient inlets throughout the home via vacuum tubing.
Plug the hose into an inlet and the system is turned on with
a switch on the hose handle. Particles are completely removed
from living areas and collected in the power unit's dirt receptacle.

| QUESTION |
| How Does A Beam System Improve Indoor Air
Quality? |
| ANSWER |
| Unlike upright and canister vacuums, a
Beam central vacuum system, with its dirt receptacle located
in the garage or basement, does not exhaust dirty, allergen-laden
air back into the living areas. With up to five times more
suction power, a Beam system removes far more dust, debris
and allergy-causing particles. It's a must in tightly insulated
houses and homes where small children and allergy sufferers
are present. |

| QUESTION |
| Is The Hose Easy To Use? |
| ANSWER |
| Beam hoses are extremely lightweight and
designed for whole-house cleaning from floor to ceiling. Unlike
short, flimsy hoses found on portable vacuums, Beam crushproof
hoses are created to withstand everyday kinks and twists.

| QUESTION |
| How Do I Maintain A Beam System? |
| ANSWER |
| Beam systems are practically maintenance
free. No lubrication or cleaning is ever required. The filter
is permanent and self-cleaning. All you need to do is take
a few moments to empty the dirt receptacle two or three times
a year. |

| QUESTION |
| How Many Inlets Are Needed? |
| ANSWER |
| Most homes require only three inlets to
reach every area with the hose and attachments. Each strategically
located inlet lets you vacuum approximately 40-60 square meters.
The power unit features an extra built-in inlet for easy cleaning
of the area around the power unit. |

| QUESTION |
| Can I Use The System To Clean Hardwood,
Vinyl or Ceramic Tile Floors? |
| ANSWER |
| Yes! Use the bare floor tool or install
one of our most popular options: the VacPan® automatic
dustpan. It's ideal for removing debris from the kitchen,
bath or mudroom. Simply sweep trash towards the automatic
dustpan, touch the toeswitch and use the power of your Beam
to instantly remove it. No more dustpans or stooping over
to pick up swept debris. |
