After adding soft coal, always stir
the fire to be certain the flames are
visible. This will prevent the
possibility of explosive gases being
generated.
Note: Ashes should be placed in a metal
container with a tight-fitting lid. Do not use this
container for storing other waste. The closed
container of ashes should be placed on a
noncombustible floor or on the ground outside
the home, 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 closed
container until all cinders have thoroughly
cooled.
DUMP ZONE CONTROL
The temperature of the dump zone
control should be set no higher than
200º for the control to work
effectively. Setting the temperature
higher than this can allow the water
to boil before the circulator has time
to move the hot water away from the
boiler.
A dump zone control is standard equipment on
all Legacy Stoves coal boilers. It is installed in the
water wall and can be wired to a water circulator or
other approved provision for heat dumps.
control is a safety feature that will prevent the
possibility of the boiler overheating. In a situation
where the thermostat does not call for heat for an
extended period of time and the temperature in the
boiler rises to the temperature to which the control
is set, it will activate the dump zone to pump excess
heat away from the boiler and into the area being
heated.

Note: Warped grates are not covered under

Your grates will last forever, as long as you keep
your ashes cleaned out of the stove. When ashes are
