1. Extinguish the fire. Do not extinguish the fire with water. The cleaner is for dry pick up only,
do not vacuum wet ashes. Wait until the oven and ashes have completely cooled down before
using your cleaner. Ashes that appear to have cooled down may still be hot inside and could
reignite with airflow. Temperature exceeding 100° F (40° C) may damage the cleaner.
2. Turn the unit on and use the metal intake nozzle or metal crevice tool (not standard with all
models) to vacuum up the debris. Never use the cleaner without the intake nozzle or crevice
tool in place. NOTE: To prevent the unit from tipping over, do not pull on the hose.
3. If your cleaner shuts off during operation refer to Auto Resetting Thermal Protective Device
section below.
4. During cleaning, check the hose, filter and cleaner for excessive temperature. If you notice a
temperature rise, turn the cleaner off and disconnect the plug from the wall outlet immediately.
In a safe area outside, empty the cleaner and remove any ashes on the filter. Allow the cleaner
to cool down under close supervision.
5. After you have finished the cleaning job, run the unit for 30 seconds to ensure all debris has
been deposited in the tank.
6. Empty and clean the tank. If there is any debris on the wire screen, located on the tank cover,
carefully brush it off. Clean the cartridge filter following the instructions under the Installing the
Cartridge Filter section in this manual.
NOTICE: Auto Resetting Thermal Protective Device.
This feature protects the unit by shutting off the cleaner should a pre-set temperature be
exceeded. This condition typically occurs due to hot debris being present in the tank.
1. Turn the cleaner OFF and disconnect the plug from the wall outlet.
2. Move the cleaner to a safe area outside, remove the motor housing from the tank cover and
allow to cool down under close supervision.
3. Check for a clogged, dirty cartridge filter. Clean or replace filter, if needed.
4. Check for a clogged, dirty wire screen. Carefully, brush off debris.
5. Check hose for blockage. Remove any obstruction found in hose.
6. The Thermal Protective Device will automatically reset in approximately 10 minutes, if the
motor housing is removed from tank cover.
7. Wait until the oven and ashes have completely cooled down. Turn the cleaner ON and continue
cleaning.
WARNING
– IF THE CLEANER HAS BEEN USED TO
PICK UP ANY DEBRIS OTHER THAN ASHES; THE TANK, TANK
COVER, WIRE SCREEN, CARTRIDGE FILTER AND MOTOR HOUSING
