6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your ash vacuum canister.
- Emptying the Canister: Completely empty the ash container every time you finish using it. Dispose of ash safely.
- Cleaning the Canister: If necessary, clean the interior of the canister with water. Ensure it is thoroughly dried before next use. Do not use cleaning products or solvents.
- Filter Cleaning: The disc filter should be regularly cleaned. Tap it gently to dislodge ash, or rinse with water if heavily soiled. Ensure the filter is completely dry before re-installing. A clogged filter will reduce suction power.
- Storage: Store the ash canister in a dry, clean place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
