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 ENTIRELY COOLED. USING A
VACUUM TO CLEAN UP WARM ASHES COULD CAUSE A FIRE INSIDE THE VACUUM.
A bed of ashes approximately 1" 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 two hours.
B. Open the appliance doors.
C. Scoop the ash from the fi rebox into a metal, airtight, container
with a lid. Cover the container with the lid and move the container
away from the appliance onto a suitable non-combustible surface
to ensure the ashes cool. Dispose of the ashes.
9.2

CREOSOTE FORMATION AND REMOVAL

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapours which combine with expelled moisture
to form creosote. These vapours condense in the relatively cooler chimney fl ue of a slow burning fi re and when
ignited, make an extremely hot fi re. So, the smoke pipe/chimney liner and chimney should be inspected month-
ly during the heating season to determine if a buildup has occurred. If creosote has accumulated it should be
removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fi re.
