Operation
m
WARNING! The vacuuming of glowing embers and
materials that are combustible, explosive or harmful to your
health is prohibited. Failure to adhere to this warning could
result in severe personal injury.
• Place the equipment on a level surface that is not heat
sensitive.
• Always use the suction tube for vacuuming. Hold the suction
tube at a distance of approximately 0.4 in. (1 cm) above the
ash.
• Vacuum only cooled ash that is less than 100°F (40°C).
• When vacuuming, check the metal container and suction
hose periodically to ensure there is no rise in temperature.
• In the event of a rise in temperature, switch off the
equipment and disconnect the plug. Place the equipment
outside and monitor it as it cools.
• During rest periods, use the accessory holder located on the
container lid to secure the suction tube.
• Always use the carry handle for transporting the equipment.
• In order to ensure that the pleated lter remains clear, ll
the metal container no more than halfway.
• Empty the container outside in order to avoid a mess (see
“Cleaning/Maintenance”).
• Clean the pleated lter (see “Cleaning/Maintenance”) if the
suction performance deteriorates or when the inspection
window blockage indicator on the container lid turns red.
Cleaning/Maintenance
Disconnect the extension cord before performing any
maintenance task. If the extension cord is plugged into the
unit, someone could accidentally operate it while you are
performing maintenance on it, resulting in serious personal
injury.
mWARNING! Never hose the appliance down with
water. Never use aggressive cleaning agents or solvents.
These substances can damage the appliance.
