Dirt Devil CV1500 Central Vacuum
Operation:
1. Connect the desired cleaning attachments to the vacu-
um hose and insert the free end of the hose to the wall
mounted vacuum inlet. e power unit is automatically
turned ON when the vacuum hose is inserted into the
wall xture.
2. Vacuum up dirt and debris, being cautious to not
vacuum-up large or sharp objects that would potentially
clog the vacuum hose.
3. If the vacuum unit is not picking up dirt and debris as
it normally would, it is likely that either the dust bag is
full and needs to be replaced, or there is a clog in the
vacuum hose or the vacuum line leading from the wall
inlet to the power unit. Cease operating the unit until
the vacuum hoses are unclogged or dust bag is replaced.
4. When the cleaning job is done, simply disconnect the
vacuum hose from the wall inlet and stow away the hose
and cleaning attachments.
Changing the Dust Bag:
1. e dust bag is housed inside the power unit. Remove
the end cap of the power unit.
2. Slide the bag collar o the inlet, remove and dispose
the dust bag.
3. While the dust bag is out of the unit, inspect the lter. If
it is loaded-up with dust, remove it and wash it in warm
water with mild detergent. Wring out excess water and
let it the lter element completely dry before re-installing
it into the vacuum canister.
4. Open a new bag and expand the pleats by gently pulling
on the corners of the bag.
5. Slide the bag collar securely onto the vacuum inlet.
6. Replace the end cap onto the power unit.
NOTE: This appliance has a thermal protection device
built into the motor to prevent overheating. If the motor
will not operate, pull the power cord from the power
receptacle, then re-insert the power plug back into the
receptacle. Doing so should reset the thermal protection
device.
NOTE: Refer to the manufacturer's instructions (available
through your TMC Owners Resource on-line account)

ing information.
