ash buildup. Again, cleaning the ash from in and around the Firepot should be done
only when the Grill is COLD.
Remove the Porcelain Grill, Grease Drain Pan and Heat Baffle to provide access to
the Firepot and the interior of the Grill. Much of the ash outside of the Firepot can be
swept to the open area at the right of the Firepot using a small whisk broom. It can
be removed from the Grill with a small metal fireplace shovel or other similar tool.
Dispose of the ashes per the following instructions.
WARNING! A vacuum cleaner is the best way to remove ashes from the Firepot but
this must be done with extreme care to avoid the risk of fire. Again, cleaning the ash
from the Firepot should be done only when the Grill is COLD.
A utility-type vacuum cleaner, having a metal collection canister without a bag would
be best for this task. However, almost any vacuum cleaner will work safely if this
procedure is properly followed.
After assuring that the ash in the Firepot is COLD, vacuum the ash from the inside of
the Firepot.
A) If your vacuum cleaner is a bagless model, empty any previously accumulated
debris from the collection chamber. Then vacuum the ash from the inside of the
Firepot. Once the Firepot is clean, empty the collection chamber into the metal
container described below without delay. Make sure that there is no remaining ash
residue left in the collection chamber
B) If your vacuum cleaner is a model that uses a disposable bag, install an unused
one in the machine. Then vacuum the ash from the inside of the Firepot. Once the
Firepot is clean, remove the bag from the vacuum cleaner and place it in the metal
container described below without delay.

DISPOSAL OF ASHES:

WARNING! 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. When 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 thoroughly cooled.
