INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
IMPORTANT NOTES:
* Each use, verify that HEPA fi lter is in place and that HEPA seal plate
wing nut is tight. Always test seal by vacuuming up a small amount of
ash while located away from living areas
** Do not attempt to use vac to remove large piles of ash from a fi replace
or wood stove. Instead remove bulk of ash with a shovel and ash can
(or hod) and then use the ash vac for fi nal cleanup.
1. Plug cord into outlet, (see photo 1 bellow).
2. Press the on/off button to switch the appliance on (see photo
2 bellow).
3. For fi replaces and wood burning stoves see "important
note **", above. Place nozzle in fi rebox. Keep nozzle pressed
against the fl at surfaces of stove or fi replace to limit entrance
of large chunks into pickup tube. Use the built-in vibrating
fi lter cleaning feature after approximately each 1 cup of ash
is removed or when suction is reduced. Shaker instructions
are below. If large chunks are picked up, turn off machine to
dislodge.

HOW TO USE THE BUILT-IN VIBRATING FILTER CLEANING

removed use the vibration knob to help remove ash from fi lter
without taking off the lid.

B. Hold can down and retract shake off knob fully.
C. Release so knob bangs top lid.

6. Release the fl exible hose from the air intake duct. A Small
amount of ash may be generated so be carefull (see 6
following).

7. Verify ash is cold! Allow to cool further if needed, then dump
debris. Ash is a great garden supplement!
8. Every 3 to 5 uses, clean HEPA fi lter while outside and away
from valuables. Screw off the fi lter wing nut and HEPA seal
plate (not shown). Take the fi lter out for cleaning (see step
below) or change. Follow the three steps below for taking off
the fi lter.
NOTE: This process will be dusty. Pictures depict a clean machine
for illustrative purposes.
9. Cleaning fi lter - to limit dust place HEPA fi lter inside a plastic
bag (not included). To clean fi lter, tap gently against a hard
surface. Empty plastic bag and inspect fi lter. Dust within
the fi lter pleats may require gentle fl exing of the fi lter by
squeezing the fi lter's rubber seals so as to make the fi lter oval
instead of round. Tap fi lter while "Out of round" to get deeply
set dust out of pleats.
Follow steps below for re-assembly of the fi lter :

10. IMPORTANT - with fi lter installed and lid in place turn
vacuum on at a dry outside location to test fi lter seal. Look
for dust at the exhaust port. A small amount is normal after
cleaning fi lter. Vacuum up a small amount of ash while still
outside to give fi nal assurance of a good seal and to verify
fi lter integrity. Replace fi lter if dust passes though at this point.
SootStop Pre-fi lter extends the life of HEPA fi lter. Most helpful
with pellets stoves.

FILTER CARE: Filter may be washed or simply shaken out. Replace
if holes in fabric develop.
