Fitting the Suction Hose and Tube

1.  Connect the suction hose to the metal container by 

screwing the rotatable plastic end piece of the suction 

hose (the end with the printed symbol) into the hose 

connection.

2. 

Check that the suction hose is securely affixed to the 

metal container via this bayonet connection (Fig. 6).

  NOTE: When assembling/detaching the suction hose, 

hold the black plastic end piece, not the metal suction 

hose. Twisting or bending the hose could damage it.

3.  Insert the suction tube into the rigid end piece of the 

suction hose (Fig. 7).

Switching ON/OFF

1.  Connect the mains plug.
  NOTE:

 The equipment is fitted with a safety stop switch, 

which allows for operation only when the pleated filter and 

wire filter basket are installed correctly.

To switch the unit on: 

Set the On/Off switch (Fig. 8) to position “

 –”. 

To switch the unit off:

 

Set the On/Off switch to position “

o”.

Operation

WARNING! 

The vacuuming of glowing embers and 

materials that are combustible, explosive or harmful to your 

health is prohibited. Failure to adhere to this warning could 

result in severe personal injury.

• 

Place the equipment on a level surface that is not heat 

sensitive.

• 

Always use the suction tube for vacuuming. Hold the 

suction tube at a distance of approximately 0.4 in. (1 cm) 

above the ash.

• 

Vacuum only cooled ash that is less than 100°F (40°C).

• 

When vacuuming, check the metal container and suction 

hose periodically to ensure there is no rise in temperature.

•  In the event of a rise in temperature, switch off the 

equipment and disconnect the plug. Place the equipment 

outside and monitor it as it cools.

• 

During rest periods, use the accessory holder located on 

the container lid to secure the suction tube.

• 

Always use the carry handle for transporting the 

equipment.

•  In order to ensure that the pleated filter remains clear, fill 

the metal container no more than halfway.

• 

Empty the container outside in order to avoid a mess (see 

“Cleaning/Maintenance”).

•  Clean the pleated filter (see “Cleaning/Maintenance”) if the 

suction performance deteriorates or when the inspection 

window blockage indicator on the container lid turns red.
