OPERATING AND CLEANING
CAUTION: DO NOT operate stove with ash
removal system door open. Ensure that embers
have cooled completely before removing ash.
1. When stove is cool, open front door and
brush most of the ash into the center of
the firebox. Remember to leave 1/4” to
1/2” (6-13mm) of ash on the firebox floor
to act as a natural grate, allowing air to
flow freely underneath wood .
2. Clean ash down through the ash re-
moval system grate into the drawer be-
low. If there are large pieces in the ashes,
you can remove the grate before clean-
ing the ash into the drawer. Be sure to
replace the grate before operating the
stove.
3. Release latch on side of ash removal
door (see Figure 23).
4. Pull out the ash drawer. Close ash removal door.
(Closing this door avoids ash blowing into the room
in the event of a downdraft.)
5. Empty ashes into metal container. Store container
on non-combustible surface until ashes are cool
enough to dispose.
6. Open ash removal door and replace ash drawer,
making sure handle faces forward.
7. Close ash removal door and fasten latch.
