If the appliance is not functioning properly, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or immersed in liquid, do not use it, contact DOMU Brands Customer Services.
Do not use the appliance if any parts appear to be faulty, missing, or damaged.
Ensure all parts are securely attached before using the appliance.

Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
Do not pull the cable around sharp edges or corners.
Do not run the Ash Vacuum over the cord.

Do not use a damaged cable or plug. If the supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified engineer or authorized service agent in order to avoid a hazard.

RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY.
Never use the Ash Vacuum without both the Fabric Filter and HEPA Filter correctly and securely in place.
Do not use any filter other than those supplied with the Ash Vacuum.
Do not use the appliance in areas where flammable or combustible liquids may be present.
When using this appliance for the first time, a smell or vapor may be given off. This will dissipate after a few uses.
Only use the Ash Vacuum to vacuum the following substances:

• Ashes from admissible fuels
• Cold ashes from fireplaces, wood/coal stoves, ashtrays, or grills

NOTE: The term “cold ash” refers to ash that has been left to cool down for a sufficient time and is free of any embers. This can be confirmed by scouring the ash for pockets of embers using metal tools before using the Ash Vacuum. Cold ash does not emit any recognizable heat.
In order to prevent damage to the product and reduce the risk of fire and/or personal injury, the following objects are strictly prohibited from being sucked up:

• Anything that is burning or smoking such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes

CLEANING, STORAGE, AND MAINTENANCE.
Empty and clean the Ash Vacuum before and after use to avoid the collection of materials that could pose a fire hazard.
In order to maintain performance, it is essential that the Ash Vacuum is cleaned regularly and that any blockages are prevented or cleared immediately.

THERMAL CUT-OUT.
This appliance is fitted with a safety thermal cut-out which will switch off the Ash Vacuum automatically should it overheat.
The Ash Vacuum may overheat if the Filters are clogged, the Flexible Hose is blocked or the tank is full.

The Ash Vacuum will become operational again after allowing 30-60 minutes to cool down.

SPECIFICATION

USAGE

To assemble the Ash Vacuum, insert the screw end of the Flexible Hose (3) into the Vacuum Inlet (10). To insert, align the notches and twist to secure them into position Fig 1.
NOTE: If the area you are to vacuum contains large pieces of debris it is advised you attach the Debris Filter (1) to avoid clogging up the Vacuum.
To use the Debris Filter, loosen the screw and slide the Debris Filter over the Metal Tube (2), re-tighten the screw to secure it into place. Fig 2.

NOTE: Leave a small distance between the end of the Debris Filter and the Metal Tube.
To power on the Ash Vacuum, press the ON/OFF switch (7) located on the top of the Main Unit (6).
To power off, press the ON/OFF Switch to the off position.
To power on the Ash Vacuum, press the ON/OFF switch (7) located on the top of the Main Unit (6).
To power off, press the ON/OFF Switch to the off position.

CAUTION: Always ensure that both the Fabric Filter (4) and the HEPA Filter (5) are in place before operating the Ash Vacuum.

WARNING! Never vacuum hot embers. Always ensure that the ashes have been left too cool for approximately four days. Always use metal fireplace tools to sift the ash to check for embers.
CAUTION: Ensure the outside of the Flexible Hose does not come into contact with any hot surfaces. Although the center is lined with a metal lining, the outer is plastic and this could cause damage.

REMOVING THE FILTERS

The Ash Vacuum has 2 filters: a Fabric Filter (4) located inside the Main Unit, and a HEPA Filter (5) attached to the lid of the Main Unit.

To access the Filters, remove the lid by unclipping both Release Clips (8) located on the sides of the Main Unit (6). To release the catch, lift up the handle on the bottom of the Release Clips.

IMPORTANT: We recommend that the Fabric Filter and HEPA Filter are removed and washed every 2-3 uses.

CLEANING THE FILTERS

Simply lift out the Fabric Filter (4) and clean using warm water and mild detergent.
IMPORTANT: Always allow the Fabric Filter to air-dry completely before returning to the Ash Vacuum.

To remove the HEPA Filter (5), twist and lift to remove it from the top of the Ash Vacuum.
Clean the HEPA Filter from the inside outwards; this will ensure the removal of debris and ash.
Ensure the HEPA Filter has been air-dried completely before replacing it.

TROUBLESHOOTING
