1) Before connecting the power cord to power source, make sure the vacuum is
properly assembled with HEPA cartridge filter, hose and aluminum nozzle
installed.
CAUTION: NEVER
use the Ash Vacuum without the HEPA cartridge filter or
aluminum nozzle installed.
2) Make sure the On/Off switch is in the “O” (OFF) position.

5) Using the aluminum nozzle only, begin vacuuming the ash.
6) As you vacuum, constantly check the nozzle, hose, tank, and motor for excessive temperatures. If you notice an increase in temperature, turn
off the vacuum immediately. Unplug the vacuum and remove the vacuumed material from the tank and HEPA cartridge filter.

MAINTENANCE
Warning! To reduce the risk of injury and electrical shock, unplug the power cord from the power source. Airborn dust will be
produced when cleaning, wear dust mask!
To maintain peak vacuum performance, the HEPA cartridge filter must be cleaned often.
General Maintenance and Inspection
The inside of the tank, hose and aluminum nozzle should be cleaned after every use, this cleaning should only be done outdoors with the power
cord disconnected from the power source. Check the condition of the power cord and make sure it is not damaged.
HEPA Cartridge Filter Maintenance
Inspect the HEPA cartridge filter for tears or holes; if any are found, replace the HEPA cartridge filter before reassembly of the Ash Vacuum. A
replacement HEPA cartridge filter (model KVAC-1142) is available. Contact your nearest King Canada distributor for more information.
DRY CLEANING METHOD ONLY. DO NOT
hand wash with water or mild detergent. DO NOT machine wash/dry the HEPA cartridge filter!
To limit airborn dust, place HEPA cartridge filter inside a plastic bag. To clean HEPA cartridge filter tap it gently against a hard surface. Remove
HEPA cartridge filter from the plastic bag and inspect it. Dust lodged within the filter pleats may require gentle flexing of the HEPA cartridge filter
pleats to get deeply set dust out.
Cleaning the tank
1) Dump the cold ash inside the tank into an appropriate disposable container such as a plastic or paper trash bag.
2) To remove ash clinging to the tank interior, lightly wipe off the dust with paper towels or cloth rag.
3) Do not wash the tank with water, cleaning agent, or other liquid.
