GROUNDING

INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. If it

should malfunction or breakdown, grounding

provides a path of least resistance for electric

current to reduce the risk of electric shock.

This appliance is equipped with a cord having

an equipment grounding conductor and

grounding plug. The plug must be plugged

into an appropriate outlet that is properly

installed and grounded in accordance with

all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING

Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk

of electric shock. Check with a qualiﬁed

electrician or service person if you are in doubt

as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.

Do not modify the plug provided with the

appliance - if it will not ﬁt the outlet, have a

proper outlet installed by a qualiﬁed electrician.

The Model CV1500 appliance is for use on a

nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding

plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig. A.

Make sure that the appliance is connected to

an outlet having the same

conﬁguration as

the plug. No adapter should be used with

this appliance.

Connect to a properly grounded outlet only.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Simply switch on the VacPan automatic dustpan by pushing the raised tab with your foot.

Switching on the VacPan activates your central vacuum. Brush dirt and debris toward

the VacPan. When cleaning is complete, switch off the VacPan and the central vacuum

system by pushing the raised tab with your foot.

1. VACPAN requires a minimum 2-1/4" toe kick height.

2. Once the VACPAN location is determined, cut a 6-3/4" long x 1-3/4" high slot in

the cabinet toe kick to accept the VACPAN.

3. Run vacuum tube piping and low voltage wire from the main piping line to the

VACPAN location.

4. Access for ﬁnal piping connections must be made. From below, cut an access hole

underneath the cabinet, positioned so that ﬁnal piping connections can be made

through the access hole. Allow for 1/2" vertical play in vacuum tube piping at Vac-

Pan location so that ﬁnal piping connections can be made.

5. Attach low voltage wires to the VACPAN terminal connections marked "low voltage

only".

6. Prior to ﬁnal installation, check for an airtight seal between the VACPAN and elbow.

Teﬂon tape may be used if required.

hose as you would with any other standard inlet valve.

1. VacPanII Wall Mount can be installed inside any wall with a minimum stud width

of 2-3/4".

2. VacPanII should be located against wall stud.

3. Once the VacPanII location is determined and prior to applying the wallboard,

attach Standard Mounting Bracket to the wall stud so that the center of the

mounting plate is 4" above the subﬂoor.

4. Attach VacPanII base stopper bracket, thereby allowing appropriated space for

ﬁnal installation.

5. Run vacuum tube piping and low voltage wire from the main line to VacPanII

location and attach to mounting bracket.

6. Snap off two protruding tabs of VacPanII base stopper bracket and discard.

7. Align VacPanII with mounting bracket. Height adjustment may be required

depending on ﬁnished ﬂoor.

8. For VacPanII height adjustment: The body can be shortened by scoring along

Quick-Trim Grooves on back of body. The two-piece front cover can be adjusted

for height by twisting apart and engaging the mating teeth of the two parts. The

VacPanII entrance ramp can be slid on mating body grooves.

9. Attach low voltage wires to VacPanII terminal connections.
