HAZARDS. NEVER CLEAN WHEN HOT.

ASH REMOVAL

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid.
The closed container or ashes should be placed on a
noncombustible surface or on the ground, well away from all
combustible materials pending final disposal. If ashes are disposed
of by soil burial or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be
retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly
cooled.
