Maintaining Your Appliance, Remove Ash if necessary

30	Maintaining Your Appliance

Failure to properly maintain and inspect your appliance may reduce the performance and life of the appliance, void your warranty, and create a fire hazard.

Daily Maintenance (while stove is in use)

Remove Ash (if necessary)

Remove ash as it builds up in the ashpan. Do not let it build up above the grate in the firebox. This prevents ash from falling on the tray below the ashpan when the ashpan is removed.

1	Let the stove cool completely (at least two hours after the last coal has extinguished).
2	Direct all of the ash through the grate into the ashpan. Remove the ashpan (see
	page 24). Place the ash into a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed
	container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground,	ASHES
	away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal.	ASHES

Improperly disposed ashes lead to fires. Hot ashes placed in cardboard boxes, dumped in back yards, or stored in garages, are recipes for disaster.

Wood-burning stoves are inherently dirty. During cleaning have a vacuum ready to catch spilled ash (make sure ash is entirely extinguished).

There are vacuum cleaners specifically made to remove ash (AshVac™). These vacuums are better at filtering ash particles and are better protected against hot embers. Contact your dealer for details.

Clean the Glass (if necessary)

This appliance has an airwash to keep the glass clean. However, burning un-seasoned wood or burning on lower burn rates leads to dirtier glass (especially on the sides). The glass may become dirty on low burn. By burning on high, with a hot stove, the glass will become clean. If you wish to clean the glass, follow the directions below.

Allow the stove to fully cool. Apply glass cleaner or soapy water to the inside of the glass. Wipe with newspaper or a paper towel.

For Stubborn Creosote:

Dip newspaper or a paper towel in cool ashes and wipe it on the glass. The ash acts as a light abrasive.

The glass will develop a very slight haze over time. This is normal and will not affect viewing of the fire.
