Ash removal
The appliance will require ash to be removed periodically but an ash bed
of approximately 20mm (3/4 inches) should be maintained when burning
wood.
The ash pan should be emptied when the level of ash reaches the top
of the ash pan. On no account should the ash be allowed to build up to
touch the underside of the grate bars, as this will greatly reduce the life
span of the grate.
To remove ash use the supplied operating tool:
• Open the door of the stove, pausing briefly when ajar so as to allow
the fire to adjust to the increased air supply.
• Put the fork end of the operating tool into the slots of the ash pan
and remove from the ash pit chamber.
• Empty the ash into a suitable container and replace the ash pan into
the stove, withdraw the operating tool and close the fire door.
Warning: The ash can be very hot. Care must be taken not
to burn hands or household objects with falling embers.
Empty only into a metal container. Even if the ash appears
cold, red-hot embers may be concealed and could easily
start a fire or cause an injury.
