D.- COLLECTING AND DISPOSING OFASHES.

Ashes will be collected when the stove is cold. Use a protective glove when the ash
pan is hot. Take extreme care when handling, storing or throwing away the ashes.
To remove the ashes from the fireplace, proceed as follows:
7. Sift the cinders through the grate with a scraper or other suitable instrument.
8. Open the ash pan compartment, turning the cinder tray door control clockwise
and carefully sliding out the ash pan.
9. Empty the ashes. The ashes must be thrown from the ash pan into a metal
container with a suitably sealed lid. Do not place any other object or waste inside
the container. Place the lid on the container and leave the ashes to cool. Do not
place the container on combustible surfaces or vinyl floors, as it may be very
hot .
10. While the ashes are disintegrating, place the closed ashes container on a non-
combustible floor or on the ground outside the home, away from any combustible
material.
11. Where necessary, clean the ash pan housing.
12. Reinsert the ash pan by pushing it back into its position. Ensure that the ash pan
is well in place.
Otherwise, the ashes may be removed using a shovel through the side or front door.
The cinders must remain in the closed container until they are all completely cold.
NEVER place the ashes in wooden or plastic containers, in paper or plastic bags, no
matter how much time has gone by since the fire went out. The coals inside the bed of
ashes will keep in the heat for a long time, even when removed from the fireplace.
E.- CAST IRON
The external cast iron parts are fire-on with shiny enamel in various colours.
Enamelled iron parts can be cleaned using normal glass cleaner. With use, a very
fine network of linear cracks may become visible under the surface of the enamel. These
cracks are natural, due to the cooling and heating processes and do not represent a fault.
