ash removal procedures

WARNING
!
• Improper disposal of ashese result in fi res. Do not discard ashes in cardboard boxes, dump in backyards or
store in garages.
• If using a vacuum to clean up ashes, be sure the ashes are entirely cooled. Using a vacuum to clean up
warm ashes could cause a fi re inside the vacuum.
A bed of ashes approximately 1" (25mm) deep should be left on the fi rebox bottom to help maintain a hot
charcoal bed. When the fi re has burned down and cooled, remove any excess ashes. To remove the ash, follow
the directions below:
A. After the last coal has extinguished, let the appliance cool at
least 2 hours.
B. Open the appliance doors.
C. Scoop the ash from the fi rebox into a metal container with a lid.
Cover the container and move the container away from the
appliance onto a suitable surface to ensure the ashes cool.
D. Dispose of the ashes.
note:
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.
