How do I remove the ash from my stove?

The firebox of your stove has a slotted base so that the ashes produced by the combustion of the
firewood will be deposited in the ashtray.
Check that your stove is cold and proceed to empty the ashtray in a metal container, preferably with
a layer of sand on the bottom of it.
Take the ashes outside the house to a safe location. Remember that live coals can remain lit for up
to 36 hours. The ash of untreated wood makes an excellent fertilizer for your garden.
IMPORTANT
Always maintain a bed of ash on the inside of the firebox as this
will make the accumulation of live coal and reloading easier.
How do I clean the glass on my stove?
One of the appeals of your Bosca stove is the visible fire. However, often this is limited because of
spots that appear on the glass of the stove. To avoid this follow the instructions below:
-The main cause of spots on the glass is directly associated to the use of firewood with high humidity
content together with maintaining the Primary Air Control on "minimum". Avoid the occurrence of
both by buying dry firewood and storing it correctly and maintaining the Primary Air Control in the
"intermediate" position.
-Periodically clean the glass of your stove with Bosca Glass Cleaning Cream.

CHIMNEY FIRE

What is a chimney fire?

Soot and residue resulting from the combustion of firewood are deposited on the flue. These
are called creosote, which is a fuel. Under certain circumstances, the interior of the flue catches
fire producing extremely high temperatures that may reach such a level that the flue turns an
incandescent red color.
Incandescent creosote emanations may appear on the upper extreme of the flue.
What should I do in the case of a chimney fire?
- Stay calm. A properly installed flue in which the correct materials have been
used should resist the situation without problems.
- Close the door of the stove well and close the Primary Air Control. The fire
on the inside of the flue will most probably go out in five minutes. Do NOT
open the door of the firebox nor of the ashtray until 30 minutes after the
chimney fire is extinguished. Otherwise, the fire could reignite.
- Keep an eye on the flue, especially in the area of the roof space.
- Remove any fuel that may be near the flue.
- If the situation prolongs excessively or if you suspect the installation was
not properly executed, call the fire department immediately.
- Do not use your stove again until it has been checked by a certified technician.

How can I avoid a chimney fire?

- The key to avoiding a chimney fire is to keep your stove's gas exhaust system clean.
- To keep the flue clean, your stove must function with a vigorous fire. Avoid using your stove
with flameless smoking fire.
- Use dry firewood. Humid firewood reduces the temperature of the fire and increases the
possibility of a chimney fire.
- When reloading your stove, avoid cooling the existing fire. Place the Primary Air Control on
"maximum" and try that the new logs heat fast. Only after this has occurred should you adjust
the Primary Air Control to the "intermediate" position.
