DE-ASHING
Always empty ash pan (4) each day after use. To empty ash pan (4) remove it from the fire box
(1) wearing protective stove gloves. Close the glass door (3) and dispose of the ashes. When the
ash is disposed of, replace the empty ash pan (4) into the fire box (1).
DISPOSAL OF ASH
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of
ashes should be on a non-combustible floor or on the ground well away from all combustible
materials for final disposal.
Ashes should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
MAINTENANCE
CREOSOTE Formation and Need for Removal
Fuels which are burned slowly produce tar and other organic vapours, which combine with
expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapours condense in the relatively cool
chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining.
When ignited, creosote creates an extremely hot fire.
CHIMNEY CLEANING
Chimney and connector should be cleaned at least twice a year, once before heating season,
and once after.
The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected at least monthly during the heating
season to determine if a creosote build-up has occurred.
GENERAL CLEANING OF THE STOVE
General cleaning must be carried out when the stove is cool.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE PADS OR OVEN CLEANSERS CONTAINING ACIDS ON THIS STOVE.
ENSURE THAT THE CLEANSER MANUFACTURERS INSTRUCTIONS ARE ADHERED TO.
