CONTROLLED OR AVOIDED SUCH AS HEATED GARAGES OR GARAGES LOCATED
IN WARM CLIMATES.
Location & Preparing the Wall Cavity (“ALL” Series units only)
It is important that you select a central location for installing the Doc IT Home Cleaning
Center. The length of the hose allows for cleaning approximately 2,500 square feet.
From the left side of the unit ensure that unit is within 5.5’ or less of a 120Vac receptacle if not hardwiring unit in.
If hardwiring unit in, remove power cord and use appropriate knock-out plugs for wiring and use the proper wire connector in accordance with electrical codes for hardwired appliances.
NOTE: for units without vacuum attached, a knockout is provided for wire entry from the bottom.
This product is designed for Retrofit or New construction installation.

Doc IT ALL® & Doc IT IN®
Installation and Operation Manual
The Doc IT ALL/Doc IT IN system is designed to be installed in a stud cavity in a wall which is clear of
plumbing and electrical wiring. If there is wiring or plumbing present in the cavity, call a qualified contractor to advise you on how to take care of the problem.
14 ½”
Prepare the drywall space by marking and cutting opening as follows:
1. Locate studs and mark a horizontal line at least 1½” above top of base board/trim but not less than 5” from floor between the desired studs.
2. Mark another horizontal line for the top of cabinet 68
½”(57 ½” for IN Hose Management Only) up from the mark in step 1.
3. Carefully cut drywall flush to the inside of studs all the way around to the top and bottom horizontal marks.
4. Mark and cut 2 pieces of 2” x 4” (Support Blocks) such that they are just slightly above drywall edge at bottom of opening.
5. Use Wood Glue or tack these blocks inside the bottom against the exposed side of each stud as shown
(“ALL” Series only). These will provide support for the cabinet until the fasteners are installed. These blocks will support the weight of the cabinet.

Installation and Operation Manual
This concludes preparation of the wall space for both cabinets.
Preparing the Cabinet (“ALL” Series)
For ease of handling, the Cabinet and Vacuum are packaged separately. Carefully unpack and inspect the cabinet and the vacuum unit for damage.
The upper door is packaged separately for left or right hand opening. Remove this from the package and set it aside. This will be the last item installed.
Lay both units “backside” flat on the floor. Refer to the numbers on the drawings and the adjacent instructions for attaching the Vacuum to the Cabinet.
1. Remove two screws as shown.
2. Gently tap the left hand edge of the cover to slide in the direction shown.
3. Lift Access cover vertically away from cabinet to remove from slots. (Do not bend tabs)

Installation and Operation Manual
Hardwired Permanent Installation:
SEE GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS FOR PERMANENT HARDWIRED INSTALLATION
BEFORE PROCEEDING on Page 4.
USE 14AWG approved wiring. For “ALL” Series units, connect to individual branch circuit.
For both series cabinets requiring hardwired installation, remove power cord from cabinet by removing ground lead and Marrette/wire nuts, and remove and keep strain relief (wire connector).
For “ALL” Series cabinets, a knock-out is provided on the left side of the cabinet. Power entry is only permitted from the left side of the cabinet. Knock out left side plug in access area.
Due to space constraints and for retrofit installations, it will be tricky getting the strain relief and the wiring into the access area prior to installing the cabinet. Here is a suggestion:
1. Temporarily install the cabinet into the opening until fully seated.
2. Mark the left 2x4 through the left hand knock-out with a pencil.
3. Remove the cabinet and drill an oversized hole ~ 2” dia where the mark was just made.
4. Loosely attach strain relief and nut so that most of the threads are just inside the access area.
In either case above, it may be necessary drill a ¾” centered in the bottom horizontal stud from below, into the cavity space to the left of the cabinet followed by the use of an electricians fishing tape/line to feed the power cable from the floor stud in through the left wall stud and into the access area of the cabinet.
