4. Operating Instructions
- Safety Check: Before each use, ensure the ashes to be vacuumed have cooled down to a maximum of 40°C (104°F). Inspect the hose and nozzle for any blockages or damage.
- Power Connection: Plug the 3-meter power cable into a suitable electrical outlet.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your ash vacuum cleaner.
- Emptying the Tank: Empty the 20-liter collection tank regularly, especially after each use, to prevent buildup and maintain suction power.
- Cleaning the HEPA Filter: The HEPA filter is washable. After several uses or when suction power decreases, remove the filter and clean it. You can gently tap it to dislodge dust or wash it with cold water. Ensure the filter is completely dry before re-installing it.
- Cleaning the Unit: Wipe down the exterior of the vacuum cleaner with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: The power cord and accessories can be stored compactly in the accessory holder or inside the 20-liter tank, saving storage space. Store the appliance in a dry, safe place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
