Ash Disposal
Remove ash before it reaches the top of the ash pan.
Check the level at least once a day, and before each
refueling. Using stove gloves, pull the ash pan out of
the stove by its handle. Remove the ash pan and
properly dispose of the ashes. Be sure to keep the pan
level during disposal.
Empty the ash pan regularly, typically every one to
three days. The frequency will vary depending on how
you operate your insert; if you burn more wood at
higher heat output settings, ash will accumulate
rapidly.
Dispose of ashes into a metal container with a tight-
fitting lid kept outdoors. Put the closed container of ash
on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away
from all combustible materials, pending final disposal.
If the ash is disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise
locally dispersed, keep it in the closed container until
all cinders have thoroughly cooled. You can use wood
ash as a garden fertilizer.

CAUTION: Never use your household or shop
vacuum cleaner to remove ash from the stove;
always remove and dispose of the ash properly.

Smoke Detectors
The use of smoke detectors throughout the home is
strongly advised, if not required by building codes or
insurance regulations. It is a good idea to install a
smoke detector in the living areas and each bedroom.
You may not, however, wish to install a detector in the
immediate vicinity of the stove. Depending on the
sensitivity of the unit, the alarm can be set off while you
are tending the fire or emptying the ashes. If you install
a detector in the same room, locate it as far away from
the stove as possible.
