This document provides comprehensive instructions for the Einhell TC-AV 1720 DW ash vacuum, a specialized appliance designed for the safe and efficient removal of cold ash and material residues. The manual emphasizes safety, proper use, and maintenance to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the device.
The ash vacuum is primarily intended for vacuuming cold ash from fireplaces, charcoal ovens, ashtrays, and barbecues. It is crucial to understand that this appliance is specifically designed for cold ash and material residues, and its use for other purposes, particularly hot or glowing materials, is strictly prohibited due to the risk of fire and damage. The device is not suitable for vacuuming soot or fine dust that could be harmful to health. Users must ensure that the material to be extracted does not exceed a temperature of 40°C. If the temperature is higher, there is a significant risk of fire, and the extractor, ash filter, and hoses could be damaged. Even if the material appears cool on the outside, it may still be hot internally and could reignite in the air current. Therefore, it is imperative to wait at least 24 hours for ash to cool completely before vacuuming. Purging hot ashes with water is also discouraged as the sudden temperature difference can cause chimney ruptures.
Before operating the ash vacuum, users must read and understand all safety regulations and instructions provided in the manual. Failure to comply with these guidelines can result in electric shock, fire, or serious injury. The manual highlights the importance of keeping the instructions in a safe place for future reference and ensuring that they are passed on to any other person using the equipment. The appliance is not to be used by individuals with physical, sensory, or cognitive disabilities, or by those without adequate experience or knowledge, unless under supervision by qualified safety personnel or after receiving proper instructions. Children must be supervised to prevent them from playing with the appliance.
Key safety precautions include checking that the mains voltage matches the rating plate specifications, always pulling out the power plug before making adjustments or performing cleaning and maintenance, and never cleaning the appliance with solvents. The power cable should never be pulled to disconnect the plug from the socket. The appliance should not be left unattended during operation and must be kept away from children. Users must also ensure that the power cable is not damaged by being run over, crushed, or pulled. If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its after-sales service, or similarly trained personnel to avoid hazards. The ash vacuum should only be serviced by an authorized customer service center, and only genuine accessories and spare parts should be used.
The assembly of the ash vacuum involves fitting the appliance head to the container using locking hooks. It is essential to ensure that the locking hooks are correctly engaged. The suction tube is then plugged onto the flexible suction hose, which is subsequently fitted onto the suction hose connector and turned until securely attached.
A critical aspect of the ash vacuum's operation is the proper fitting and maintenance of its filters. The appliance must never be used without the filters, and it is crucial to ensure they are perfectly secure at all times. The filter system includes a pleated filter for fine ash dust and a coarse filter. To remove or fit the pleated filter, the wing nut must first be undone, allowing the pleated filter and filter cage to be pulled out. Assembly is done in reverse order, ensuring the filter is securely seated. The equipment is equipped with a safety switch that prevents it from being switched on if the pleated filter and filter basket are not fitted, emphasizing the importance of correct filter installation. The coarse filter is fitted as shown in the diagrams. Additionally, the wheels need to be fastened to the base of the unit.
The ash vacuum is operated using an ON/OFF switch. The appliance also features a blowing function, which can be activated by connecting the suction hose to the blow connector.
Regular cleaning and maintenance are vital for the ash vacuum's performance and safety. Before any cleaning work, the mains power plug must be pulled out. All safety devices, air vents, and the motor housing should be kept free of dirt and dust. It is recommended to clean the appliance immediately after each use. The appliance head can be cleaned with a damp cloth and soft soap, avoiding cleaning agents or solvents that could damage plastic parts. The container can also be cleaned with a damp cloth and soft soap or under running water, depending on the level of dirt. The filter basket, pleated filter, and coarse filter should be cleaned by tapping, brushing, or blowing out with compressed air at low pressure. At regular intervals and before each use, the filters must be checked to ensure they are securely fitted.
For ordering replacement parts, users should quote the machine type, article number, identification number, and the required part number. Information on the latest prices and parts can be found on the manufacturer's service website.
The equipment and its packaging materials are designed for recycling. The raw materials in the packaging can be reused or recycled. The appliance itself is made of various materials, including metal and plastic, and should not be disposed of with household refuse. Instead, it should be taken to a suitable collection center for proper disposal in accordance with national recycling and waste disposal regulations. The manual also advises keeping the packaging until the end of the guarantee period, if possible.
Storage of the ash vacuum and its accessories should be in a dark, dry place at above freezing temperature, with an ideal range of 5 to 30°C. The electric tool should be stored in its original packaging.
The warranty terms apply to consumers and cover defects due to material or manufacturing faults. The warranty is for 24 months from the purchase date, and claims must be submitted within two weeks of noticing a defect. The warranty does not cover damage caused by failure to follow instructions, incorrect installation, abuse, incorrect use, or normal wear and tear. The manual also clarifies that the equipment is not designed for commercial, trade, or industrial applications, and its use in such settings will void the warranty. Wear parts and consumables, such as the suction tube, pleated filter, foam filter, and coarse filter, are subject to normal wear and tear and are not necessarily included in the scope of delivery or covered by the warranty. For any defects or faults, users are encouraged to register the problem online, providing a precise description and answering specific questions about the malfunction.
