Ash Drawer Operating Guideline

OPTION

During constant use, ashes should be removed every few days. The Ash Drawer Kit option provides a convenient and easy way to keep your wood stove clean. This ash drawer kit can only be used with the fi replace unit.

Safety Precautions

1)Do not allow ashes to build up to the loading doors! Only remove ashes when the fi re has died down. Even then, expect to fi nd a few hot embers.

2)Please take care to prevent the build-up of ash around the start-up air housing located inside the stove box, under the loading door lip.

3)If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cindershavethoroughlycooled.Otherwaste should not be placed in the ash container.

4)Never start a fire if the ash plug and ash drawer are not in place. This will cause over fi ring which can cause excessive warping of the stove. Over fi ring will void the warranty on your stove, and damage your fi replace.

1) Remove the bricks from the fl oor of the

fi rebox.

2)Open the louver in front of the fi replace.

3)Remove the ash dump cover plates (one inside the fi rebox and one on the underside of the firebox) by removing the two nuts and bolts holding the 2 plates together from underneath the stove.

4)Push the ash plug into the hole inside the fi rebox and replace all the bricks.

5)Slide the ash drawer shelf into clips on the bottom of the firebox and add thumbscrews to secure in place.

6)Slide the ash drawer into the ash drawer shelf.

7)Place the lid and the ash plug tool on the fan trasfer plate for storage.

1)Only clean ashes out of the fireplace when the unit has cooled down. Remove the plug by lifting on the handle using the tool provided. The plug may still be warm, use caution. Push the ashes down the hole into the ash drawer, the large pieces can be left in the fi rebox 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 fi re.

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

4)When emptying the ash drawer, make sure the ashes are cold. 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.

5)Before putting the ash drawer back into place, make sure the cover lid is off and the ash plug is back in place.
