Ash Removal

Whenever ashes get 76.2-101.6mm (3 to 4) inches deep in your firebox or ash pan, 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 two 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 ashes lead to fires. Hot ashes placed in cardboard boxes, dumped in back yards,

or stored in garages, are recipes for disaster.

Wood-burning stoves 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.

Do not operate this stove with the ash pan door open. A fire

hazard will result.

The ash pan must be properly inserted and fully closed during operation. Failure to fully close and

seal the ash pan may lead to an over-fired stove, negating the warranty and creating a safety hazard.

Ashes must only be dumped into the ash pan only after the stove has fully cooled and all embers are

extinguished.

Moving Ashes to the Ash Dump

This stove is equipped with an ash dump tool. It is stored on the hook a the back of the stove (see

pictures below). NOTE: The tool will become hot when the stove is in use.

Use the included tool to lift the ash dump from the floor of the firebox (there are two – use either or both).

Then scrape the ashes into the ash dump. NOTE: This tool is only designed for use with the ash dump

(do not use it as a poker or to position wood).
