9.0 MAINTENANCE

9.1

IMPROPER DISPOSAL OF ASHES RESULT IN FIRES. DO NOT DISCARD ASHES IN CARDBOARD

IF USING A VACUUM TO CLEAN UP ASHES, BE SURE THE ASHES ARE ENTIRELY COOLED. USING A

VACUUM TO CLEAN UP WARM ASHES COULD CAUSE A FIRE INSIDE THE VACUUM.

A bed of ashes approximately 1" deep should be left on the ﬁ rebox bottom to

help maintain a hot charcoal bed. When the ﬁ re has burned down and cooled,

remove any excess ashes. To remove the ash, follow the directions below.

After the last coal has extinguished, let the appliance cool at

least two hours.

Open the appliance doors.

Scoop the ash from the ﬁ rebox into a metal, airtight, container

with a lid. Cover the container with the lid and move the container

away from the appliance onto a suitable non-combustible surface

to ensure the ashes cool. Dispose of the ashes.

9.2

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapours which combine with expelled moisture

to form creosote. These vapours condense in the relatively cooler chimney ﬂ ue of a slow burning ﬁ re and when

ignited, make an extremely hot ﬁ re. So, the smoke pipe/chimney liner and chimney should be inspected month-

ly during the heating season to determine if a buildup has occurred. If creosote has accumulated it should be

removed to reduce the risk of a chimney ﬁ re.

BOXES, DUMP IN BACK YARDS, OR STORE IN GARAGES.
