Daily Maintenance (while fireplace is in use)

Check Ash, Remove if Necessary

Ash can build up inside the firebox without affecting performance. Generally, remove ash once it has
built up over 1" (or more often if desired). Follow the directions below to remove ash.
1 Let the fireplace cool completely (at least two hours after the last coal has extinguished).
2 Place a cloth or cardboard protector over the hearth to catch ash and protect against scratching.
3 Open the doors. Remove the grate and place it on the protector.
4 Scoop the ash into an air-tight, metal container. Place a lid over the container and take outside. Store
the container away from the structure to ensure the ashes are entirely cold. Then dispose the ashes.
Warning: Improperly disposed ashes lead to fires. Hot ashes placed in cardboard boxes, dumped
in back yards, or stored in garages, are recipes for disaster.
Note: Wood-burning fireplaces are inherently dirty. During cleaning have a vacuum ready to
catch spilled ash (make sure ash is entirely extinguished).
Note: There are vacuum cleaners specifically made to remove ash (even if the ash is warm).
Contact your Fireplace Xtrordinair dealer for details.

Clean any Gold Surfaces if Necessary

With the fireplace cool, clean any gold surfaces. Any marks left on the gold may become etched-in by
the heat of the fireplace. Use denatured alcohol and a soft cloth to clean.
