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

RUG OR FLOOR.
Ne brancher l'appareil qu'à une prise avec mise à la terre.
INSTRUCTIONS DE
MISE À LA TERRE

Si une défectuosité ou autre survenait, la
mise à la terre offre une voie de moindre
résistance au courant électrique, d'où un
risque moins élevé d électrocution. Cet
appareil est équipé d' un cor don électricque ayant un conducteur et une fi che
de mise à la terre. Cette fi che doit être
branchée dans une prise appropriée qui a
été installée et mise à la terre convenablement en ac cord avec le code électrique
de votre région.
AVERTISSEMENT
Un branchement incorrect de
l'équipement de mise à la terre peut
caus er un risque d'électrocution. Si vous
avez un doute concernant la mise à la
terre de votre prise, veuillez faire vérifi er
votre in stal la tion par un électricien qualifi é ou une personne du service aprèsvente. Ne pas modifi er la fi che fournie
avec l'appareil - si la fi che ne se branche
pas à la prise, faites in stall er une prise
adéquate par un électricien qualifi é.
Les appareils, Dirt Devil® 390, 590 & 890

Dirt Devil® Pro Series Central Vacuum System
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

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.

General Power Unit
Maintenance
The simple care and maintenance
instructions included here will
help ensure trouble-free use of the
central vacuum system.
•Do not place objects on top of the
power unit. The motor could
overheat.
•Do not allow the motor to remain
“on” unless a hose is con nect ed or
an inlet valve is open. If airfl ow is
not per mit ted to fl ow through fan
blades, motor dam age may occur.
•Empty the dirt canister when it is
1/2 - 2/3 full.
• Change the fi lter cartridge once a
year.
• The power unit does not require
any lubrication.
• The ex te ri or of the pow er unit can
be wiped with a clean, dry cloth.
Do not use liquid cleaners or
water as an electrical shock may
occur.
• For additional service contact a
qualifi ed service per son.
Troubleshooting the
system
Motor Fails to Turn On:
• Check the main fuse or circuit
breaker at the main pow er supply
panel of your home. Reset breaker
or replace fuses if nec es sary.
• Check the Power unit reset button
located above the power cord.
Pressing the button should restore
operation.
• If the circuit protector continues to
trip off after a short period of
time, the motor brush es may be
worn out. Call a qualifi ed service
person for service.
Loss of Vacuum
If the system shows a loss of vac u um power, check the fol low ing:
• The dirt receptacle and fi lter may
need cleaned – follow in struc tions
in this guide.
• The hose may be clogged – To
check if there is an ob struc tion,
unplug the hose and insert an
object that is smaller then the
diameter of the hose (A butter
knife works well). Pass the object
completely through the hose, if
it stops that will indicate where
the ob struc tion is located. A dry
garden hose can be inserted into
the hose to help push ob struc tion
through.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• Cyclonic Cone Seal may not be
properly seated – Follow in struc tions
for replacing the dirt canister.
•Tube lines may be obstructed
– First check the 90 degree elbow
lo cat ed directly behind the inlet
valves, if an obstruction occurs
it will usually not make it past
this elbow. If the obstruction is
not visible at the elbow, attempt
to purge the tubing at each inlet
valve. To do this, connect the
