Refractory Replacement
Figure 10
WRT4826WH Shown
The intense heat of the fire will normally cause
hairline cracks in the refractory. These cracks
can be minimized by proper curing as described
in "First Fires". They will not normally dimin-
ish the effectiveness of the refractory. If large
cracks develop, then the refractory should be
replaced. To replace the refractory bricks, follow
these steps (see Figure 10):

Door Frame Care
Use a glass cleaner and a soft cloth to polish
the frame. Do not use abrasives such as steel
wool or steel pads for they may scratch the
door frame finish.
Ashes
Whenever ashes get 3 to 4 inches deep in your
firebox, and when the fire has burned down and
cooled, remove excess ashes. Leave an ash bed
approximately 1 inch deep on the firebox bottom
to help maintain a hot charcoal bed.
Remove ashes only when the fire is out and the
ashes are cold (24 to 48 hours after the fire is
out) Open the bottom louver and the doors,
lift the door trap lever, remove the plug on the
door trap of the ashtray using gloves or a poker.
Sweep the ashes in the opening with a brush or
any similar tool. Reinstall the plug on the door
trap and pull down the lever.
Do not leave the ashes in the house as they give
off carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.
WARNING
Disposal of Ashes: Ashes should
be placed in a steel container
with a tight fitting lid and moved
outdoors immediately.
closed container of ashes should
be placed on a non-combustible
floor or on the ground well away
from all combustible materials,
pending final disposal. If the
ashes are disposed of by burial
in soil or otherwise locally dis-
persed, they should be retained
in the closed container until all
cinders have thoroughly cooled.
