4.4ASH REMOVAL USING THE ASH DRAWER

CAUTION: ASHES CAN START FIRES, EVEN AFTER SEVERAL DAYS OF INACTIVITY. NEVER DISPOSE OF ASHES IN A COMBUSTIBLE CONTAINER. REMOVE ASHES WHEN THE STOVE AND ASHES ARE COLD.

Whenever the ashes get 3 – 4” (76 – 102 mm) deep in the firebox, they should be emptied into the ash drawer, using the following instructions:

•Make sure the fire is out, and the stove is cold.

•Lift the ash dump plug at the left rear of the firebox by hooking the poker through the loop on the cover and lifting up.

•Push the ashes through the hole and leave an ash bed of approximately 1” deep on the firebox bottom to help maintain a hot ember bed.

•Clear the ashes from the area where the ash dump plug normally sits so that it will properly seat against the opening edges. Tap it down with your poker to ensure proper seating.

•Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tightly fitting lid. This closed container should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible (heat sensitive) materials, pending final disposal.

•Cover the ash dump plug with the remaining ashes and continue operation of your stove as usual.

•If the 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. Do not place other waste materials in the metal ash container.

•If bright embers are glowing above the ash dump cap during a low or medium fire, air may be leaking past the ash plug. If this is happening, a possible over fire hazard exists. The stove should be shut down and allowed to cool. Properly seal the ash dump cap.
