Ash Removal

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. Let the stove cool completely before
removing ashes (wait at least 2 hours after the last coal has extinguished). Ashes should be
placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be
placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, away from all combustible materials,
pending final disposal. The ashes should be retained in the closed container until all cinders
have thoroughly cooled.
Improperly disposed of ashes lead to fires. Hot ashes placed in cardboard boxes, dumped in back
yards, or stored in garages, are recipes for disaster.
Wood-burning appliances are inherently dirty. During cleaning have a vacuum ready to catch spilled
ash (make sure ash is entirely extinguished).
There are vacuum cleaners specifically made to remove ash (even if the ash is warm). Contact your
dealer for details.

Optional Blower Operation

The blower will turn on once the stove is up to temperature. This is typically 15 to 30 minutes after
starting the fire. Follow the directions below to alter the blower speed.
The blower may be used to affect heat output (i.e.: to reduce heat output, turn the blower down).
Route the power cord in a location where it will not come in contact with the appliance or become hot.

Re-Loading the Stove

Follow the directions below to minimize smoke spillage while re-loading the stove.
1. Open the air control all the way (push it in).
2. Open the door slightly. Allow the airflow inside the firebox to stabilize before opening the doors fully.
3. Load wood onto the fire.

Overnight Burn

This stove is large enough to accommodate burn times up to eight hours. Follow the steps below to
achieve an overnight burn.
1. Move the air control to high burn and let the stove become hot (burn for approximately 15 minutes).
2. Load as much wood as possible. Use large pieces if possible.
3. Let the stove burn on high for 15 minutes to keep the stove hot, then turn the air control to low.
4. In the morning the stove should still be hot, with embers in the coal bed. Stir the coals and load small
pieces of wood to re-ignite the fire, if desired.
Differences in chimney height and draft may lower overall burn times.
