stances.
The machine may only be used in the intended man-
ner. Any use beyond this is improper. The user/opera-

Cold ash is ash that has cooled down sufficiently and
no longer contains any glow nests. This can be de-
termined by going through the ash with a metal tool
before using the device. No perceptible heat radiation
emanates from the cold ash.
Certain substances can form explosive vapours or
mixtures when they are swirled with the suction air!
Never vacuum the following substances:
• Explosive or flammable gases, liquids and dusts
(reactive dusts)
• Reactive metal dusts (such as aluminum, magnesi-
um, zinc) combined with strongly alkaline and acidic
cleaning agents
• Undiluted strong acids and alkalis
