Disposal of Ashes
Place ashes in a metal container with a tight fitting lid.
Place the closed container of ashes on a non-
combustible floor, or on the ground outside, well
away from all combustible materials or fumes,
pending final disposal. If ashes are disposed of by
burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, retain
them in the closed container until all cinders have
thoroughly cooled.
Over-Fire Caution
Over-firing means the Fireplace Insert is operating at
temperatures above the recommended temperatures
outlined above in the
BURN RATE
section. Carefully
avoid over-firing since it will cause damage to the
Fireplace Insert. Symptoms of over-firing include
short burn times, a roaring sound in the Fireplace
Insert or chimney, and discoloration of the finish.
Over-firing can be caused by excessive draft,
inappropriate fuel, and operator error. Correct an
over-fire situation as follows:
EXCESSIVE DRAFT:
Contact your dealer to have a
draft reading taken.
INAPPROPRIATE FUEL:
Do not burn coal; kiln dried
lumber, pellets, wax logs, plastics, trash or anything
other than natural cordwood.
OPERATOR ERROR:
Ensure all the gaskets are in
good condition. Replace worn out or compressed
gaskets. Do not burn the Fireplace Insert with the
front door in a partially open position. The door must
be fully closed or opened completely (e.g. when
using viewing screen).
If you suspect that your Fireplace Insert is over-firing,
contact your dealer immediately.
Damage done by
over-firing is not covered by your warranty.
Results of over-firing can include: warped or burned
out internal parts, cracked firebox soapstones,
discolored or warped external parts, and damaged
enamel.
NOTE: ANY SYMPTOMS OF OVER-FIRING
WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY!
