Operation
Dry vacuum cleaning
ATTENTION
Vacuuming cold ashes
Device damage
Only vacuum cold ash with an ash pre-separator.
ATTENTION
Defective or wet non-woven filter bag
Device damage
Before starting up, check the non-woven filter bag for
damage, and replace it if necessary. Only vacuum with
a dry non-woven filter.
Depending on the equipment variant, a non-woven filter
bag is included. Always use the filter bag in addition to
the non-woven filter bag when dry vacuuming.
Filter bag
Note
Replace the filter bag in good time, as filter bags that are
too full can be damaged. The fill degree of the filter bag
depends on the amount of dirt vacuumed. The filter bag
should be replaced more frequently when vacuuming
fine dust, sand, etc.

the device capable of vacuuming again, set up the de-
vice, switch it off, wait 5 seconds and then switch it on
again.

cluded.
