ASH DRAWER KIT
OPTION
During constant use, ashes should be removed
every few days. The Ash Drawer Kit option
provides a convenient and easy way to keep
your wood stove clean. This ash drawer kit can
only be used with the fi replace unit.

Safety Precautions

1) Do not allow ashes to build up to the loading
doors! Only remove ashes when the fi re
has died down. Even then, expect to fi nd a
few hot embers.
2) Please take care to prevent the build-up of
ash around the start-up air housing located
inside the stove box, under the loading door
lip.
3) If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil
or otherwise locally dispersed, they should
be retained in the closed container until all
cinders have thoroughly cooled. Other waste
should not be placed in the ash container.
4) Never start a fi re if the ash plug and ash
drawer are not in place. This will cause over
fi ring which can cause excessive warping of
the stove. Over fi ring will void the warranty
on your stove, and damage your fi replace.
5) The fi rebricks are brittle and can be damaged
if the plug is replaced carelessly or pieces
that are too large are forced through the
hole.

INSTALLATION

Ash Drawer Operating Guideline

1) Only clean ashes out of the fi replace when
the unit has cooled down. Remove the
plug by lifting on the handle using the tool
provided. The plug may still be warm, use
caution. Push the ashes down the hole into
the ash drawer, the large pieces can be left
in the fi rebox and burned during the next fi re
or removed through the door opening.
2) Always leave 1/2 to 1 inch of ash in the
bottom of the fi rebox. This helps in easier
starting and a more uniform burn of your
fi re.
3) To remove the drawer, lift slightly and slide
it out. When the drawer is completely out,
slide the cover plate over the ash drawer
and carry away.
4) When emptying the ash drawer, make sure
the ashes are cold. Ashes should be placed
in a metal container with a tight fi tting lid.
The closed container of ashes should be
placed on a non-combustible fl oor or on
the ground, well away from all combustible
materials, pending fi nal disposal.
5) Before putting the ash drawer back into
place, make sure the cover lid is off and the
ash plug is back in place.
