WARNING
Risk of fire!
 Do not pick up hot, glowing or
burning ash.
Pick up only cold ash.
 The dust container must be
emptied and cleaned before
and after each use.
 Do not use dust collection
bags made of paper or bags
made of similarly combustible
materials.
 Do not use customary vacu-
um cleaners to vacuum ash-
es.
 Do not store the ash vacuum
on combustible or polymeric
surfaces such as carpet or vi-
nyl tiles.
 Only ashes from permissible
fuels (e.g. natural wood,
wooden briquets, wood pel-
lets, lignite and hard coal)
must be vacuumed.
 Do not vacuum up soot.
 Vacuuming material which
appears to have cooled down
from the outside may still be
very hot inside. Hot ash parti-
cles may ignite again in the
air flow.
 Stir up the ashes with a metal
object to check whether the
ashes are still hot.
 Please make sure that the
oven is cold before you vacu-
um clean ovens.
 Wait until the ashes have
cooled down before you be-
gin with the cleaning. We do
not recommend extinguishing
the fire rapidly with water. The
chimney material will not
withstand the quick tempera-
ture changes and may crack.
 Continuously check hoses
and vacuum cleaner for heat
while vacuuming ashes. If
you notice a temperature rise,
switch off the vacuum cleaner
immediately. Pull out the
mains plug. Remove the vac-
uuming material from the ash
and dry vacuum cleaner. Al-
