GROUNDING

INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, ground ing provides a path of least re sis tance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equip-

ment grounding conductor and ground-

ing plug. The plug must be plugged into an ap pro pri ate outlet that is prop er ly in-

stalled and grounded in ac cor dance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING

Improper connection of the equip mentgrounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qual i fi ed electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly ground ed. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it will not fi t the outlet, have a proper out let installed by a qualifi ed elec tri cian.

The Dirt Devil® 390, 590 & 890 ap pli ance is for use on a nom i nal 120 volt circuit and has a ground ing plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig. A.

Make sure that the appliance is con-

nect ed to an outlet having the same con fi g u ra tion as the plug. No adapter should be used with this appliance.

Pro Series Filtered Cyclonic

MODELS: 390, 590 & 890

General Information

Do Not Store Objects on top of the power unit. This will block the motor cooling ventilation. Restricting the cooling airfl ow may shorten the motor life.

The central vacuum is de signed to vac u um ordinary house hold dirt and dust. The system is designed for dry pickup. A Wetvac ac ces so ry is needed if the system will be used for liquid pickup.

The central vacuum system is a network of inlet valves, 2” PVC tubing, and low voltage wiring installed in the walls of your home. To operate the system, simply plug the hose into an inlet valve, attach the cleaning tool to the curved hose end and begin vacuuming. The dirt is transported through the in-wall tube system back to the dirt canister (located on the power unit).

Caution:

Do not allow the motor to remain turned on, unless a hose is con nect ed or an inlet valve is open. If air is not permitted to pass through the fan blades, damage may occur to the motor.

Operating Instructions

Using the Central Vacuum System is easy. Simply raise the inlet valve lid, insert the hose end and attach the desired cleaning tool to the hose wand. The Power Unit is activated when the hose is inserted into the valve.

Emptying the Dirt

Canister & Replacing

The Filter Cartridge

The dirt canister – where the vac-

u umed dirt is deposited – is the removable lower portion of the power unit. The canister needs to be removed and emptied when it is 1/2 - 2/3 full. The fi lter cartridge should be replaced once a year.

When the dirt canister is removed the Cyclonic Cone will be visible.

The cone is designed to stay at tached to the body of the power unit when the dirt canister is re moved. The cone is removable to allow access to the replaceable pleated fi lter. To replace the cone, follow the steps listed under re plac ing the fi lter.
