Frequently Asked Questions - CI390W NuTone

How do I empty the dust canister?

Turn off the unit and unplug it. Remove the canister by pressing the release lever. Empty into a trash bag and wipe the canister with a damp cloth. Allow to dry completely before reinstalling.

How often should I replace the HEPA filter?

Replace the HEPA filter every 6 to 12 months, depending on usage. A clogged filter reduces suction power and motor life.

My vacuum has lost suction. What should I check?

First, check if the canister is full. Then inspect the filter for clogs and clean or replace it. Also check the hose and attachments for blockages.

Can I use third-party accessories with this unit?

For optimal performance and safety, use only NuTone approved accessories. Third-party items may not fit properly or could damage the system.

What safety precautions should I take?

Always unplug the unit before servicing. Do not vacuum liquids, hot ashes, or sharp objects. Keep the area around the unit clear for proper ventilation.

How do I install the power unit?

Mount the unit on a sturdy wall or place it on a level floor. Connect to a dedicated 120V outlet. Attach the inlet pipe and wiring per the installation manual.

The unit shuts off automatically. Why?

This is likely due to thermal overload protection. Let the unit cool for 30 minutes, then check for blockages or a full canister. If it persists, contact customer support.

How do I clean the motor brushes?

Motor brushes should be inspected annually. Disconnect power, remove the brush cover, and slide out the brushes. If worn below 1/4 inch, replace them.

What is the warranty period?

This unit comes with a 1-year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. Proof of purchase is required for service.

Where can I find replacement parts?

Replacement parts and filters are available through NuTone authorized dealers or online. Use the model number CI390W to find compatible parts.

Electrified Inlet (with 12 AWG Wire) NEW HOME INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

(For Household Use)

1. Fasten the mounting plate to a stud within three studs (48") of an electrical outlet box. Measure and mark the wire 10" from the plug (A), Feed the wire through the top hole in the mounting plate (Just above the circular opening). Snap the molded plug into the mounting plate as pictured (B). This will keep it secure and out of harm's way during drywalling and finishing. Line up the wire at the previously measured 10" mark with the strain relief channel on the back of the mounting plate. Secure it in place with the supplied wire tie (C).

2. Run the inlet wire to the adjacent electric box. If you must run wire through a stud, drill directly through the center of the stud (D).

3. Place the exposed ends of the two wires into the electrical box through a strain relief channel (E). Tighten the strain relief (do not overtighten) on the white sheathing leaving 1/2' of this sheathing exposed inside the outlet box.

Fold the 6" of black and white wire into the outlet box. Leave the wires to be connected by the electrician when plug receptacles are being installed. (Attention: Power tools such as routers are not recommended for use with the inlet installation, as removal of drywall with these devices may cause damage to the mounting plate and/or inlet plug.)

1. Once drywall and finishing processes have been completed, remove molded plug from mounting plate (with the aid of a slot screwdriver) and snap it into the wing slot at the back of the inlet (F). (Please note: molded plug fits one way only, with the narrow opening at the top.) Insert inlet into mounting plate and secure inlet to mounting plate with screws provided.

NOTE: All electrical devices such as the electrified inlet should be reported to the construction electrician for listing on the inspection report for building inspection purposes.

NOTE: Plumb inlet to tubing using NuTone Model 382-S 90° Ell fitting.
