Disposal Of Ashes; Refractory Replacement; Glass Care - Replacement - Osburn STRATFORD Installation Instructions Manual

3.3.6 Disposal of Ashes

Do not attempt to clean the fireplace when the unit is hot. 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 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. Do not attempt to clean the stove
when the unit is hot.

3.3.7 Refractory Replacement

The intense heat of the fire will normally cause hairline cracks in the refractory. These cracks can
be minimized by proper curing as described in "First Fires". They will not normally diminish the
effectiveness of the refractory. If large cracks develop, then the refractory should be replaced. To
replace the refractory bricks, follow these steps:
1. Remove the andiron
2. Remove the bottom stone
3. Remove the side stone retainers
4. Remove the left stone
5. Remove the right stone
6. Remove the back stone
To install the new bricks, follow the
above steps in reverse.
3.3.8 Glass Care – Replacement
The glass used for the OSBRUN STRATFORD is a high temperature ceramic glass (1400º F). Do
not abuse the glass door by striking or slamming shut. If the glass breaks, it must be replaced
with an identical ceramic glass. Tempered glass or ordinary glass will now withstand the high
temperatures of the OSBURN STRATFORD. Replacement glass should be purchased from a
Osburn dealer (see "Replacement Parts", in Section 7 – APPENDIX). Do not operate the unit
with a cracked or broken glass.
