10. Emptying the Ash Drawer
As a safety precaution, please make sure that you
only dispose of ashes once they are cold. While the
ash collects during the fire, the lid (fig. 3/1) is lo-
cated under the ash drawer
(fig. 3/2).
The ash drawer contains the mineral components
of the wood (approx. 1%) as combustion residues.
Remove both the ash drawer and the lid located
underneath it. Make sure the ash does not pile up
all the way to the bottom of the fire box. Slide the
lid onto the ash drawer so that it is closed; this
prevents ashes from flying around, which in turn
means your home stays clean (fig.4).
Please ensure that, when inserting the ash drawer,
the ash drawer lid is positioned on the base of the
drawer with the side brackets facing down.

11. Cleaning the ceramic glass panel
Open the fire box door and secure it against ac-
cidental closing (see point 2). To clean use the
included protective glove with an extra long shaft.
This protects you and your clothing from getting
dirty.
We recommend a proven and environmentally
friendly cleaning method:
Ball some up paper towels or newspaper, moisten
the ball, dip it into the cold wood ash, rub the panel
with it and then wipe the glass with a clean, dry
ball of paper.
NOTE!
Only use wood ash from split logs for this
cleaning process. Wood briquettes can
contain additives, which may scratch the
surface of the ceramic glass.
A common, retail glass detergent may also be used
for cleaning. When cleaning the seal and steel sur-
faces we recommend that you spray the glass de-
tergent on a cloth and not directly on the pane.
