The Valiant ash vacuum is intended for vacuuming cold ashes and fine dust, as well as particles of debris from open fire grates, solid fuel stoves, fire pits or barbecues. The appliance can also be used to blow when needing, for example, to encourage a slow burning barbeque or for dislodging debris from hard-to-reach recesses. Not suitable for vacuuming liquids or glowing embers. Professional use such as vacuuming/blowing heating boilers, oil-burning ovens, micro fine dusts such as soot or cement dust, materials or dusts that are combustible, explosive or hazardous to health (dust classes L, M, H) are also not advised. The ash vacuum cleaner is fitted with a robust metal container with a lid assembly. The vacuum set comprises a flexible metal-lined suction hose and an aluminium inlet tube.
