Ash Removal System Operating And Cleaning - Quadra-Fire 3100 SERIES Installation, Operation And Maintenance Instructions

ASH REMOVAL SYSTEM OPERATING AND CLEANING

CAUTION: Do not operate stove with ash removal system door open. Store ash in metal container until hot
embers have cooled completely.
1. When stove is cool, open front door and brush most of the ash into the center of the firebox. Remember to
leave ¼" to ½" (6-13mm) of ash on the firebox floor to act as a natural grate, allowing air to flow freely
underneath wood.
2. Clean ash down through the ash removal system grate into the drawer below. If there are large pieces in the
ashes, you can remove the grate before cleaning the ash into the drawer. Be sure to replace the grate before
operating the stove.
3. Release catches on sides of ash removal door.
4. Pull out ash drawer. Close ash removal door. (Closing this door avoids ash blowing into the room in the
event of a downdraft.)
5. Empty ashes into metal container. Store container on non-combustible surface until ashes are cool enough
to dispose.
6. Open ash removal door and replace ash drawer, making sure handle faces forward.
7. Close ash removal door and fasten catches.
