- Nutone CV350
- Nutone CV352
- Nutone CV353
Important Note on Fit:
Central vacuum filter sizes can vary even within similar models. Before installation, it is highly recommended to measure the dimensions of your existing filter or the filter compartment in your central vacuum unit to ensure this filter (approximately 11 inches in diameter) is the correct size for your specific model. An incorrect fit can lead to reduced performance or damage.
Installation (Setup)
Follow these steps to install or replace the filter in your Nutone central vacuum system:
- Power Disconnection: Before beginning, ensure the central vacuum unit is completely powered off and unplugged from the electrical outlet to prevent accidental startup.
- Access the Canister: Locate the central vacuum power unit, typically found in a utility room, garage, or basement. Open the latches or clamps that secure the collection canister to the motor housing. Carefully remove the canister.
- Remove Old Filter: The old filter will usually be located directly beneath the motor housing, above the collection canister. Gently pull or twist the old filter to remove it. Dispose of the old filter responsibly.
- Clean Filter Area: Wipe down the filter seating area and the inside of the motor housing to remove any accumulated dust or debris.
- Install New Filter: Position the new Nutone 06-2300-08 filter into the designated slot or seating area. Ensure it is seated firmly and evenly, creating a tight seal. The central hole of the filter should align with the intake port.
- Reassemble Unit: Carefully reattach the collection canister to the motor housing, ensuring the latches or clamps are securely fastened.
- Restore Power: Plug the central vacuum unit back into the electrical outlet and restore power.
- Test Operation: Turn on the central vacuum system briefly to confirm proper operation and suction.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance of your filter is essential for maintaining the efficiency of your central vacuum system. This filter is designed for high reusability.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the filter for excessive dirt buildup, tears, or damage. The frequency depends on usage, but a visual check every 3-6 months is recommended.
- Cleaning: If the filter appears dirty but is not damaged, it can often be cleaned. Gently tap the filter against a hard surface (outdoors) to dislodge loose dust. For more thorough cleaning, consult your central vacuum system's main manual for specific filter cleaning instructions, as some foam filters can be rinsed with water and air-dried completely before reinstallation.
- Replacement: Replace the filter if it shows signs of wear, tears, or if cleaning no longer restores adequate airflow. A general guideline for replacement is every 1-2 years, or more frequently with heavy use.
Troubleshooting
If you experience issues after filter installation or during vacuum operation, consider the following:
- Reduced Suction: Ensure the filter is correctly seated and sealed. A loose or improperly installed filter can cause air leaks and reduced suction. Check if the filter is excessively clogged and requires cleaning or replacement.
- Filter Does Not Fit: Double-check the filter dimensions against your central vacuum unit's requirements. Refer to the "Important Note on Fit" in the Compatibility section. If the filter is the wrong size, it will not seal properly.
- Unusual Noises: Ensure no foreign objects are trapped around the filter or in the vacuum's intake. A properly installed filter should not cause unusual noises.
