OPERATING AND CLEANING

CAUTION: DO NOT operate stove with ash removal system door open. Ensure that embers have cooled completely before removing ash.

1.When stove is cool, open front door and brush most of the ash into the center of the firebox. Remember to leave 1/4” to 1/2” (6-13mm) of ash on the firebox floor to act as a natural grate, allowing air to flow freely underneath wood .
