GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
1. This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance, if will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified technician.
NOTE: Static shocks are common in dry areas or when the relative humidity of the air is low. This is only temporary and does not affect the use the Ash Vacuum. To reduce the frequency of static shocks in your home, the best remedy is to add moisture to the air with a console humidifier.
FEATURES:
•A patented double filter system allows ash to be removed from wood stoves, pellet stoves or fireplaces without emitting dust.
•The outer and inner filters may be cleaned without removing the lid. Agitation of the filter support basket, located between the outer and inner filters allows both filters to be cleaned without removing the lid.
•The outer filter is fire retardant as a precaution in the event a hot spark should accidentally hit the filter.
•An inner filter traps sub-micron particles that are allowed through the outer filter. The filter covers a spring mounted cage which allows the filter to be cleaned without removing the lid.
•The hose is metal to give you greater flexibility. Only vacuum cold to warm ash. Excessive heat will melt the vinyl coating on the hose.
•The metal nozzle allows ash to be removed quickly while larger particles are left behind to be burned at a later date.
