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 fireplace unit.
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 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
cinders have thoroughly cooled. Other waste
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
firing which can cause excessive warping of
the stove. Over firing will void the warranty
on your stove, and damage your fireplace.
5) The firebricks are brittle and can be damaged
if the plug is replaced carelessly or pieces
that are too large are forced through the
hole.
ash drawer Kit installation
1) Remove the bricks from the floor of the
firebox.
2) Open the louver in front of the fireplace.
3) Remove the ash dump cover plates (one
inside the firebox 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
firebox 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.
ash drawer operating Guideline
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 firebox 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
fire.
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 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.
5) Before putting the ash drawer back into
place, make sure the cover lid is off and the
ash plug is back in place.
