Disposal Of Ashes; Maintenance Of Your Stove - Upland 207 Owner's Manual

DISPOSAL OF ASHES

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The
closed container of ashes should be placed 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 closed container until all cinders
have thoroughly cooled. Be sure to leave a 2" protective layer of sand in
the bottom of the stove after cleaning.

MAINTENANCE OF YOUR STOVE

Proper maintenance is essential to the long life and efficient burning of
your Model #207. After the heating season, the stove should be thoroughly
cleaned and the paint should be touched up to prevent rusting while the
stove is not in use. When properly maintained this stove should last a
lifetime. Maintenance of the stovepipe and flue are essential for safe
operation while the stove is in use. They must be cleaned at periodic
intervals that will be determined by the type of wood that is used. When
first operating the stove, check the inside of the pipe every two to three
weeks to insure that the buildup on the pipe walls is not getting too thick.
