Safety Instructions

Read and understand all manual instructions before operating or servicing this device.
Improper use may result in fire or injury.

This appliance is intended to pick up cold ash from fireplaces, chimneys, ovens, ash-trays and similar places of ash accumulation.
WARNING: Risk of fire

Do not pick up hot, glowing or burning ash. Pick up cold ash only.
The dust container must be emptied and cleaned before and after each use.
Do not use paper dust bags or bags made from similar flammable materials.
Do not use any other vacuum cleaner to vacuum ash.
Do not rest the ash vacuum cleaner on flammable or polymeric surfaces, included carpeting and vinyl tile.

Class II equipment.

Substance to be vacuumed – cold ashes from fireplaces, wood/coal stoves, ashtrays, grill.
“Cold Ash” is ash cooled down for a sufficient time without any pockets of embers inside. This can be confirmed by scouring the ash for pockets of embers by using metal tools before using the ash vacuum cleaner. Cold ash does not emit any recognizable heat.
Empty and clean vacuum cleaner before and after vacuuming to avoid the collection of materials that could pose a fire hazard in the vacuum cleaner.
Vacuum only ashes from admissible fuels.
Do not vacuum any hot, burning or glowing objects.
Do not vacuum any flammable substances.
This device can be used by children aged from 8 years and above, and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the device in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the device. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
The appliance may only be connected to alternating current. The voltage must correspond with the type plate on the appliance.
Never touch the mains plug and the socket with wet hands.
Do not pull the plug from the socket by pulling on the connecting cable.
Check the power cord with mains plug for damage before every use.
If the external flexible cable or cord is damaged, it shall be replaced by a special cord or cord exclusively available from the manufacturer or his service agent.
To avoid accidents due to electrical faults we recommend the use of sockets with a line-side current-limiting circuit breaker (max. 30 mA nominal tripping current).
Turn off the appliance and remove the mains plug prior to any care and maintenance work.
Repair works may only be performed by the authorised customer service.
Keep packaging film away from children – risk of suffocation!
Switch the appliance off after every use and prior to every cleaning/maintenance procedure.
The appliance may not be used in areas where a risk of explosion is present.
The ash and dry vacuum cleaner must not be used for the separation of hazardous substances.
Only ashes from permissible fuels (e.g. natural wood, wooden briquets, wood pellets, lignite and hard coal) must be vacuumed.
Do not vacuum up soot.
Vacuuming material, which appears to have cooled down from the outside may still be very hot inside. Hot ash particles may ignite again in the airflow. Stir up the ashes with a metal object to check whether the ashes are still hot.
Please make sure that the oven is cold before you vacuum clean ovens.
Wait until the ashes have cooled down before you begin with the cleaning. We do not recommend extinguishing the fire rapidly with water. The chimney material will not withstand the quick temperature changes and may crack.
Continuously check hoses and vacuum cleaner for heat while vacuuming ashes. If you notice a temperature rise, switch off the vacuum cleaner immediately. Pull out the mains plug. Remove the vacuuming material from the ash and dry vacuum cleaner. Allow device to cool down outside under supervision.
Completely empty the container before and after vacuuming ashes.
The use of dust collection bags is not permitted.
Immediately switch the appliance off or pull the power plug if foam forms or liquids escape!
Do not use abrasives, glass or universal cleaners! Never immerse the appliance in water. Certain materials may produce explosive vapours or mixtures when agitated by the suction air! Never vacuum up the following materials:
- explosive or combustible gases, liquids and dust particles (reactive dust particles)
- reactive metal dust particles (such as aluminium, magnesium, zinc) in combination with highly alkaline or acidic detergents
- undiluted, strong acids and alkali
- organic solvents (such as petrol, paint thinners, acetone, heating oil)
- hot, burning or smoldering objects with temperatures higher than 40 °C. Temperatures above 40 °C represent a fire hazard.
Not suitable to separate health-hazardous dust (dust classes L, M, H). In addition, these substances may cause the appliance materials to corrode.
