The hose of my vacuum cleaner is clogged, what can I do? Verified

Detach the hose and look through it to determine if it is actually clogged. If this is the case, you can take a long object such as a broomstick and carefully push it through the hose. This will generally remove any objects that are clogging the hose. If this didn't help you should contact the manufacturer.

It is possible that there is a twist or fold in the cord. Completely roll out the cord a few times and rewind it back into the device under guidance of your hands. If this does not solve the problem, it is possible the mechanism to rewind the cord is broken. In that case, contact the manufacturer or a repair service.

What is HEPA? Verified

Can I use a regular vacuum cleaner to suck up ash? Verified

No, this is absolutely not possible. Ash that seems cooled may still be warm or even hot inside. A regular vacuum cleaner is not designed for this and it can cause a fire. Also, the filters of regular vacuum cleaners are not always suited for retaining extremely small particles such as ash. It can then reach the motor of the vacuum cleaner and cause damage.
