Ash Disposal; Fan (Blower) Operation - Drolet NG1800 Austral Owner's Manual

ASH DISPOSAL

Ashes should be removed from the stove every few days or when ashes get to 2 to 3 inches
deep. Always empty the stove when it is cold, such as in the morning.
Always dispose of ashes in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. Other waste shall not be
placed in this container. Place this container 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 dispersed, they should be retained in the close container until all
cinders have thoroughly cooled.

FAN (BLOWER) OPERATION

Allow the stove to reach operating temperature (approximately one hour), before turning on the
fan. The increased airflow from the fan will cool the firebox and affect the start-up combustion
efficiency if the fan is turned on too quick.
It is possible to make an automatic activation of the blower with the installation of an optional
basic thermodisc kit AC05530 or a quick connect thermodisc kit AC02055.
