ARS OPERATING AND CLEANING
1. When stove is cool, open front door and brush most
of the ash into the center of the firebox. Remember
to leave 1/4" to 1/2" (6-13mm) of ash on the firebox
floor to act as a natural grate, allowing air to flow
.
freely underneath wood.

grate into the drawer below. If there are large pieces
in the ashes, you can remove the grate before
brushing the ash into the drawer. Be sure to replace
the grate before operating the stove.
3. Swing open ash removal door on leg model. (On the
pedestal model, first pull down the hinged pedestal
front to expose the ash removal door).
4. Pull out the ash drawer. CLOSE the ash removal
door. (Closing this door avoids ash blowing into the
room in the event of a downdraft).

drawer with the overhanging lip facing toward you.

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 noncombustible 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 thoroughly cooled.
