Ash Removal

With each hopper of coal that is burned, approximately one ashpan full of ashes must be removed. (fig. 19) It may take from one to four days for the ash pan to get full, depending on the burn rate.

Failure to remove the ashes will result in a blocked grate and the fire will not burn properly. Remember, the ashpan will be hot, so always wear protective gloves.

Ash Removal Setting:

The "Ash Out" position on the feed adjuster knob is for ash removal (fig. 18). This position stops the Combustion Blower, the Feeder Motor, and slows the Distribution Blower so the doors can be opened. This is to limit exhaust fumes from leaving the unit.

Don't forget to turn knob back to previous feed number setting after completion of ash removal.

Removing Ash While Unit Is Burning:

CAUTION: Ash pan handle will be hot,

wear gloves.

Make note of the position of the Feed Adjuster knob so it can be returned to the same position when you are finished removing the ashes.

Turn the Feed Adjuster knob to "Ash Out", this is the ash removal setting, Fig 18. This setting turns off the Combustion Blower and Feeder Motor but does not turn off Draft Motor. Now the ash door can be opened with minimal exhaust leakage. If ash removal takes more than 4 minutes, the Distribution Blower will start to cycle up and down to indicate the Feed Adjuster knob was left in the "Ash Out" position. This is not a problem if you remember to return the FeedAdjuster to its previous setting when completed. If left in the "Ash Out" position, the fire will burn out.

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 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.
