4)When emptying the ash drawer, make sure the ashes have cooled down com- pletely. Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fi tting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible fl oor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending fi nal disposal. 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. Other waste should not be placed in the ash container.

2)Always leave 1/2 to 1 inch of ash in the bottom of the fi rebox. This helps in easier starting and a more uniform burn of your fi re.

3)To remove the drawer, slide it out. When the drawer is completely out, slide the cover plate over the ash drawer and carry away.
