OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
ASH DISPOSAL
During constant use, ashes should be removed
every few days. The Ash Drawer features a
convenient ash drawer for easy removal of
ashes.
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, near the pilot.
3) Never start a fi re if the ash plug and ash
drawer are not in place. This will cause
overfi ring which can cause excessive warp-
ing of the stove. Evidence of overfi ring can
void the warranty on your stove.
4) The fi rebricks are brittle and can be damaged
if the plug is replaced carelessly or pieces
that are too large are forced through the
hole.
4) When emptying the ash drawer, make
sure the ashes have cooled down com-
pletely. 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. 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 in, ensure
that the ash plug is back in place.

Operating Guideline
1) Only clean ashes out of the stove 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 fi re or
removed through the door opening.
Pull out Ash Drawer
2) Always leave 1/2 to 1 inch of ash in the
bottom of the fi rebox. This helps in easier
starting and a more uniform burn of your
fi re.
3) To remove the drawer, slide it out. When
the drawer is completely out, slide the cover
plate over the ash drawer and carry away.
