DE-ASHING Fig.13

DISPOSAL OF ASHES

The stove is provided with a steel ashpan. This ash- pan must be emptied every day.

If ashes are allowed to build up to grate level the fire- bars could be damaged by overheating. We recom- mend that you remove ashes after you have riddled the fire following an overnight burn.

Note: The stove should never be operated with the ashpit door open.

Ashes should be placed in a metal or other non- combustible container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible material, pending final disposal. If ashes are buried in soil, or otherwise dumped they should be retained in the closed container until they are thoroughly cooled.

TO CLEAN CHIMNEY OUTLET

These parts are heavy and must be allowed to cool before removal.

Remove baffle underneath the boiler cross flow chamber by lifting it upwards and pulling it outwards and insert cleaning brush. Replace baffle before lighting fire.

TO REPLACE DAMAGED GRATE OR GRATE BAR

Remove the front brick, the back brick, all the left hand side bricks and both small right side bricks from the stove, taking care not to damage or break any of the bricks in the process. Tilt the grate assembly up on the left hand side of the stove and pull towards the left side of the stove until the driven rocker bar is clear of the right hand firebricks. Remove the grate assembly from the firebox, replace the damaged part and reassemble the firebox by re-positioning the grate assembly and then reposition all the firebricks.

Ensure the riddling mechanism works properly from outside the stove before replacing the firebricks.
