ASH DISPOSAL
CAUTION: Ashes can start fires, even after several days of inactivity. Never dispose of ashes in a combustible
container. Remove ashes only when insert and ashes are cold.
During constant use, ashes should be removed every few days. 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 to be disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally
dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all coals have thoroughly cooled. Do not place other
waste materials in the ash container.
Only clean ashes out of the insert when fire has burned down and cooled.
Always leave ½” to 1” of ash in the bottom of the firebox. This helps in easier starting and a more uniform burn of your
fire.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1) Do not allow ashes to build up to the loading doors! Only remove ashes when the fire has died down. Even then,
expect to find a few hot embers.
2) Please take care to prevent the build-up of ash around the air housing located inside the insert box, under the load-
ing door lip.
BRICK INSTALLATION
The firebox of your CHALET 1600I WOOD Fireplace Insert is lined with high quality firebrick, which has exceptional in-
sulating properties. There is no need to use a grate; simply build the fire on the firebox floor of your insert. Do not oper-
ate this insert without the firebrick.
The Firebrick is also intended to extend the life of your stove and radiate heat more evenly. Install the bricks as in the
picture and then cap them with the supplied channels. All the bricks are numbered and must be installed in the correct
positions listed below:
