Unpack the device and remove all packing material.

This ash vacuum cleaner is not only a high quality and highly reliable product, but is also easy to use and safe with a long life. It is designed to vacuum only cold ash (up to 50 °C), but also sand, coal pellets, etc.

It is not suitable for boilers or fuel oil stoves and cannot be used for cement and gypsum dust.

Battery charge

Charge the supplied battery for about 5 hours before first use (and then whenever the battery runs out).

A fully charged battery allows up to 50 minutes of continuous vacuuming. The battery charges the removed top assembly.

Connect the AC adapter's power cord to the selected battery into the battery connector, and then connect the AC adapter to a wall socket.

Notes and advice

• The AC adapter and battery may become warm during charging.
  It is normal. When the charging process is complete, they will cool down.
• If the engine turns slower (weaker), it is necessary to fully charge the battery.
• It is advisable to discharge the battery from time to time (approximately once a month) and then fully charge it to maintain optimal performance and condition.
• Charge the battery after each use.

Note about charging

If the battery surface temperature is above 55 °C or below 0 °C while charging, or if the battery enters self-protection mode, try to stop charging until the battery surface temperature returns to 0 to 55 °C .

If the battery surface temperature exceeds 70 °C during battery operation, it may switch to self-protection mode and disconnect the power to the vacuum cleaner.

When the battery surface temperature drops to 65^ C, the battery and vacuum cleaner will operate again.

Vacuum cleaner assembly

Do not remove the battery before attaching or removing accessories.

1. Insert the filter

Loosen the retaining clips on the top cover and remove the top assembly from the ash container. Replace the filter on the bottom of the top assembly and put the entire assembly back on the container.

Then secure the clips.

After vacuuming

1 Press the I/O (on/off) switch on the device to turn off the vacuum cleaner.
2 Remove the battery from the top assembly.
3 Pull the suction hose out of the suction opening and disconnect the tube from the hose. Then clean and store the suction cup and accessories.

Emptying the ash container

Warning!

Remove the battery before emptying.

Note:

When vacuuming larger amounts of ash, the container may fill up faster, so check with the filter more often.

Never vacuum with a container other than the original container and the original filter.

1 Remove the battery.
2 Pull the suction hose out of the suction opening.
3 Loosen the retaining clips on the top cover and remove the top assembly from the ash container.
4 Empty the ash container, wash the container, then wipe it with a dry cloth and allow it to dry freely.
If necessary, remove the filter and clean it as described in the filter cleaning section.
5 Replace the filter on the bottom of the top assembly and replace the entire assembly on the container.
Then secure the clips.

Warning!

Before closing the cover, make sure that the filter is correctly inserted and that nothing prevents the cover from closing properly.

Filter cleaning and replacement

If the vacuum cleaner is of poor performance, the HEPA filter should be cleaned. If the suction power is greatly reduced, check that the suction nozzle or hole is not blocked.

The filter should be cleaned or replaced regularly, depending on the intensity of use. Failure to do so may result in reduced device performance and / or reduced filter life.

Filter cleaning/replacement

1 Remove the battery.
2 Pull the suction hose out of the suction opening.
3 Loosen the retaining clips on the top cover and remove the top assembly from the ash container.
4 Empty the ash container, wash the container and allow it to dry freely.

5 Remove the filter and clean it first by tapping it, then with a lukewarm shower from the inside as shown and dry it in the air.

6 After thoroughly drying the filter, replace it on the bottom of the top assembly and replace the entire assembly on the container.

Then secure the clips.

Warning!

If the filter is very dirty, replace it with a new one. (Check with your dealer.)

Warning!

Never insert a wet filter into the vacuum cleaner as this may damage the vacuum cleaner or cause an electric shock.

Cleaning the suction opening

If there is an object clogging the suction opening of the vacuum cleaner, proceed as follows:

1 Pull out the hose.
2 Remove the sucked obstruction from the suction port.
3 Attach the hose.

Cleaning and maintenance

• Never wash the engine top assembly under running water or immerse it in water.
• Clean the equipment and accessories with a soft cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners for cleaning.
• The device must remain completely dry after cleaning.

Battery and motor protection function

The device is equipped with a battery protection function to prevent overloading and overheating and damage the batteries and the device itself. This can happen if the hole or nozzles are blocked. If the device turns itself off in the middle of operation without the battery running out, this is due to the battery and motor protection function.

If the battery surface temperature exceeds 70 °C during operation, the battery may switch to self-protection mode and disconnect power to the vacuum cleaner, the vacuum cleaner will shut itself off.

Turn the power switch off and wait at least until the battery or engine has cooled. When the battery surface temperature returns to 65 °C , the battery and vacuum cleaner will operate again. If the cause of the overheating is a clogging of the suction port, eliminate any possible cause of blockage of the port or nozzles, empty the garbage container and clean the filters. After the engine has cooled down and the cause of the blockage has been eliminated, turn the device on again. If the device still does not work properly, contact the service center.
