GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS for CM120 and F120 ONLY, WHEN PERMANENTLY WIRED
This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system; or an
equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected
to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.
WARNING:
The four mounting holes in the outer corners of the flange of the Vacuum Cleaner must be drilled
from the back of the unit with a 3/16” drill bit when the unit is to be recessed into a wall.

To reach with the vacuum hose as far as possible, choose a wall or surface that is centrally located and has an
electrical outlet or switch from a 16 amp circuit breaker. Make sure the wall is hollow and there are no pipes or
other obstructions in the section you choose.
Locate a space between the mounting stud and the next stud over. Make sure an electrical outlet box, a switch or
wires from a circuit breaker cable are between the studs and easy to reach from the vacuum cleaners access hole.
Tape the template against the wall at a comfortable operating height (or a minimum of 6 inches off the floor) either
at the edge of the 2X4 (use the vertical cut-out line from the template and align with the edge of the 2X4) or
somewhere in between the studs.
Refer to the paper template #W601 or B040 for the cut out
Use only 2 of the 4 anchors when installing against a 2X4. Use all 4 anchors when installing somewhere between
the studs.
Install 14 or 16 gage AWG, 300V minimum Romex cable (use wires rated for at least 95C) from the electrical power
supply and pull the power cable through the wall cut-out.
Same procedure as above, but do not use the drywall anchors. Pre-drill the 4 outer holes 3/32 dia. and secure
vacuum cleaner with the 4 painted screws.

Drywall installation: with a 3” dia. hole saw, cut a hole first and check for obstructions! It is easier to
re-plaster the 3” dry-wall slug than a large cut-out if you do encounter an obstruction.
The vacuum cleaner can be mounted to the side of a 2X4 wall stud or in between 2 studs. No electrical
switches or outlet should be on the installation side when mounted to a 2X4.
After inserting the anchors insert the red key-pin and push hard to toggle the anchor open behind the
dry-wall, remove red key.
) Open the 2 3/4" x 1 3/8" side cover and pull the 3 inside wires through the opening.
) Insert your 120 volt power supply cable through the Romex clamp and out of the side opening.
) With 3 wire nuts connect , and to wires.
) Tighten the Romex clamp and replace the side cover.
Slide the unit, bottom first, into the opening and secure with the four painted screws. If installed against a 2X4
use 2 screws for the 2X4 and 2 screws for the 2 anchors. Do not over-tighten.
Check to be sure dust bag and motor filter (under dust bag) are in place.
