Where, When and How
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 been thoroughly cooled.
WARNING!
Disconnect Stove from power supply before servicing

Pro Tip
The type of fuel you are burning will dictate how often you have to clean your fire pot.
If the fuel you are burning has a high dirt or ash content, it may be necessary to clean the fire
pot more than once a day.
Poor quality fuel will cause clinkers to form in the fire pot. Clinkers are formed when dirt, ash
or a non-burnable substance is heated to 2000 deg. F (1093 deg. C) and becomes glass-like.
Always burn dry fuel. Burning fuel with high moisture content take heat from the fuel and
tends to cool the Stove, robbing heat from your home.
Damp pellet fuel can clog the feed system.
CAUTION!
Handle glass assembly with care and refer to maintenance instructions. When cleaning glass:
•
Avoid striking, scratching or slamming glass.
•
Do NOT clean glass when hot
•

•

WARNING!
