Vermont Casting EWF30 installation instructions Remove and Store Ash Safely

Page 21

A well-insulated home, located in a moderate climate and with the EWF30 Fireplace located centrally in an open floor plan, will be easier to heat than a drafty home in the far north in which the EWF30 is installed on an exterior wall at the end of a long house.

Different results may be experienced even in the same installation if you switch from burning good, dry wood to wood that is partially rotted or inadequately seasoned.

To compensate for these factors in cold climates, it may be necessary to operate the EWF30 with the air control set to a higher level more of the time.

Remove and Store Ash Safely

Check the ash pan before reloading the fireplace, and empty if necessary using the following procedure:

•Open the damper.

•Open the load door.

•Remove the ash pans from under the hearth brick. CAUTION: Ash may contain hot coals and must be treated with extreme care. Hold the ash pan with both hands to avoid dropping or spilling the ashes.

•Take the pans outdoors and empty the ash into an ash container.

•Before replacing the ash pan, clear away any ash that has spilled over the sides and back of the pan.

•Replace the ash pans and front door.

Empty the ash pans regularly, typically every one to three days. The frequency will vary depending on how you operate your EWF30: If you burn more wood at higher heat output settings, and ash will accumulate faster.

Ash should be removed frequently and placed outdoors in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ash should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ash is disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, it should be retained in the closed container until all cin- ders have thoroughly cooled. Wood ash may be used as a garden fertilizer.

CAUTION: Never use your household or shop vacuum cleaner to remove ash from the fireplace; always re- move and dispose of the ash properly.
