MAINTENANCE
1. Inspect the cartridge filter regularly and clean it when necessary. Remove
the lid and twist the mesh cartridge filter off the housing.
2. Dislodge as much imbedded debris as possible before washing the filter
with tap water before drying it completely.
3. Reposition it, ensuring it is in place by engaging the three retaining tabs
into the fixings on the tank cover and twisting the canister clockwise.
Important: cleaning should not use chemicals or compressed air.
4. Always ensure that the sponge filter covering the motor fan is in good
condition and not blocked. Lift it away and wash it in water if required
and allow it to dry completely before use.
5. Ensure the hose is kept in good condition.
•
A damaged hose will seriously effect the efficiency of the ash can and
should be replaced.
6. Contact your CLARKE dealer for replacements.
CARE & STORAGE
1. When not in use, turn off using the switch on top of the ash can, then
remove the plug from the mains power supply.
2. When you have finished with the ash can, ensure the electric cable is
stowed away by winding it around the handle, and not left as a hazard for
others to trip over.
3. Do not change filters, or carry out any cleaning or servicing, without first
disconnecting the ash can from the power supply.
4. Keep the external surfaces clean. Avoid impact damage & do not allow
the ash can to come into contact with abrasive or corrosive materials.
5. Do not use solvents, thinners or alcohol to clean the ash can, as these
chemicals will damage the finish. With the ash can unplugged from the
power supply, use a dry cloth to wipe over the casing.
6. When not in use the ash can should be stored in a secure, dry place, out
of the reach of children. DO NOT leave it exposed to the elements and
avoid direct sunlight, direct heat, rain/moisture etc.
7. Only use parts and accessories recommended in this manual. The use of
unauthorised accessories or attachments is not permitted and may result
in personal injury or damage to the ash can.
8. Do not attempt to repair or modify the ash can. Do not attempt any
electrical repair yourself. Consult a qualified electrician or the Clarke
Service Department on 020 8988 7400.
