Ash Drawer Operating Guideline
1)Only clean ashes out of the stove when the stove is cold. Remove the plug by lifting on the handle using the tool provided. Push the ashes down the hole into the ash drawer, the large pieces can be left in the firebox and burned during the next fire or removed through the door opening.
2)Always leave 1/2 to 1 inch of ash in the bottom of the firebox. This helps in easier starting and a more uniform burn of your fire. Replace ash plug when ashes have been removed.
4)When emptying the ash drawer, make sure the ashes are cold. Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non - combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final 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.
5)Before putting the ash drawer back into place, make sure the ash plug is back in place.
