8.6 SMOKING
A properly installed appliance should not smoke. If yours does, check the following:
• Has the chimney had time to get hot?
EN
• Is the smoke passage blocked anywhere in the appliance, chimney connector or chimney?
• Is the room too airtight and the air intake not connected to the outside? Try with a window partly
open.
• Is the smoke fl ow impeded by too long a horizontal pipe or too many bends?
• Is it a weak draft perhaps caused by a leaky chimney, a cold outside chimney, too large a diameter
of a chimney, too short a chimney, or a chimney too close to trees or a higher roof?
• Is the moisture content of the wood greater than 20%?
DO NOT OVERFIRE THE APPLIANCE! Overfi ring can occur by burning large amounts of smaller wood
pieces or vigorously burning large loads of wood for long periods of time (one or two hours).
8.7 RELOADING THE APPLIANCE
BURNING WET, UNSEASONED WOOD CAN CAUSE EXCESSIVE CREOSOTE ACCUMULATION, WHICH
WHEN IGNITED CAN CAUSE A CHIMNEY FIRE THAT MAY RESULT IN A SERIOUS HOUSE FIRE.
When refuelling open the door slowly to prevent smoke spillage. Use a pair of long appliance gloves when
feeding the fi re. Keep a small steel shovel nearby to use as a poker and to remove ashes. Do not store wood
within 4 feet (1.2m) of the appliance.
Follow the directions below to minimize smoke spillage while re-loading the appliance.
A. Move the air control to high.
B. Open the door slightly. Allow the airfl ow inside the fi rebox to stabilize before opening the doors fully.
9.0 MAINTENANCE
9.1 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" (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
two hours.
B. Open the appliance doors.
C. Scoop the ash from the fi rebox into a 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 or in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be
retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly
cooled.
