higher than the ash pan. Dispose of ashes in
a metal container with a tight fitting lid. Do
not include any other refuse. Keep the closed
container on a noncombustible floor or on the
ground, well away from all combustible materi-
als. Keep the ashes in the closed container until
all cinders have thoroughly cooled. The ashes
may be buried in the ground or picked up by a
refuse collector.
11. The special paints used on your stove may
give off some smoke and an odor while
they are curing during the first 12 to 15 fires.
Additional smoke and odor may be emitted

fire box. This should disappear after a short
period of time and not occur again. Persons
with lung conditions or owners of susceptible
domestic pets (such as birds) should take
prudent precautions. Open windows and
doors as needed to clear smoke and/or odor.
Paint discoloration will occur if the stove is
over fired.
12. This stove has a painted surface which
is durable but it will not stand rough handling
or abuse. When installing your stove, use care
in handling. Clean with soap and warm water
when stove is not hot. Do not use any acids
