8.0 MAINTENANCE

EN
APPLIANCE MAY BE HOT, DO NOT SERVICE UNTIL APPLIANCE HAS COOLED.
Check your chimney and chimney connector for creosote and soot buildup weekly until a safe frequency for
cleaning is established.
If accumulation is excessive, disconnect the appliance and clean both the chimney and the appliance. You
may want to call a professional chimney sweep to clean them. Both have to be cleaned at least once a year
or as often as necessary.
Remove fibre baffles and clean above them once a year. Replace any broken bricks.

ASH REMOVAL PROCEDURES

IMPROPER DISPOSAL OF ASHES RESULT IN FIRES. DO NOT DISCARD ASHES IN CARDBOARD
IF USING A VACUUM TO CLEAN UP ASHES, BE SURE THE ASHES ARE ENTIRE COOLED. USING A
VACUUM TO CLEAN UP WARM ASHES COULD CAUSE A FIRE INSIDE THE VACUUM.
NEVER OPERATE YOUR APPLIANCE WITH THE ASH PLUG (IF APPLICABLE) REMOVED.
FAILURE TO ACHIEVE A GOOD SEAL BETWEEN THE ASH OPENING, ASH PLUG OR ASH WELL DOOR
WILL RESULT IN AN OVER FIRE CONDITION THAT COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE.

8.1.1 APPLIANCES WITH ASH PAN (1100C, 1400C)

NOTE: Optional ash pans are not equipped with a cover or rear folding handle.
Whenever the ashes in your firebox accumulate to a depth of 3 or 4 inches (76-102mm); they tend to burn
themselves up. When the fire has burned down and cooled, remove any excess ashes but leave an ash bed
approximately 1 inch (25mm) deep on the firebox bottom to help maintain a hot charcoal bed.
To use your ash pan, pull the ash dump handle forward, rotate
approximately 90° counterclockwise to the open position. Rake the
excess ashes into the ash pan. Close the ash well making sure that no
coals or foreign objects are preventing the ash plug or well door from
closing. To ensure that the ash well is fully closed, allow the door to snap
shut.
This creates a fire hazard that may result in a house/chimney fire, internal
damage to the appliance or discoloration to the gold plated door (plated
finishes are not covered by the warranty).
NOTE: ALWAYS ENSURE THE ASH PAN IS COMPLETELY COOL PRIOR TO REMOVING IT FROM THE
ASH DRAWER.
Remove the ash pan by lifting it up and to the left or right side of the ash drawer. Temporarily place the ash pan
on a non-combustible surface and close the ash pan lid. Remove the ash pan and safely dispose of the ashes.
Before reinstalling the ash pan ensure that the ash pan lid is OPEN. Place the ash pan into the pedestal.
NEVER OPERATE YOUR APPLIANCE WITH THE ASH WELL IN AN OPEN OR AJAR POSITION.
