6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your ash vacuum cleaner.
- Emptying the Tank: After each use, or when the tank is full, unplug the appliance. Detach the motor unit from the tank and carefully empty the collected ashes/debris into a suitable waste container.
