5. Place the top part on the ash tank (10) and lock the
lid with the clamps (9). The ash vacuum is now
ready for use.
Make sure the suction opening of the aluminium
tube (6) is not blocked. A blockage may damage the
appliance.
Switching ON and OFF
1. Before use the ash vacuum must be equipped with a sufficiently
charged battery.
2. Switch on the ash vacuum by pressing the ON/OFF button (4).
3. To switch off the appliance, press the button again. Always pull the
power plug from mains when not using the appliance.
When using the suction hose make sure the hose is not bent. This
will damage the suction hose and the ash vacuum will lose its suc-
tion power. The suction hose must be placed that way so that it
forms a natural curve while sucking.

Emptying the Ash Tank and Cleaning the Filter

Clean the filter after each use. Empty the ash tank when the appliance
loses its suction power. Please note that cold ashes become incrusted
on the filter during vacuuming. This will block the filter and the motor
will not be properly aired.
1. First switch off the ash vacuum and pull the power cord before
opening the ash tank.
2. Tap the filter carefully to remove the ash from the surface. Prefera-
bly clean the filter outdoors by using a hand broom, compressed air
or similar.
