Summary
7. Disposal of Ashes
It is recommended that the firebox be cleaned of
excessive ashes before each use. It is necessary to
remove ashes from the open front of the fireplace. To do
so, proceed in the following manner:
Allow the fire to go out and the ashes to cool for at
least six to eight hours.
After the cooling period carefully pick up the ashes
from the firebox with a small, metal fireplace shovel or
other metal scoop and place them in a metal container
with a tight fitting lid.
If possible do not sweep the ashes as this will stir
them into the air and disperse them into the room.
The closed container of ashes should be placed on a
non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from
all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the
ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally
dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container
until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
8. Gas Log Sets
If you install a vented gas log set (decorative gas
appliance), the log set must comply with the Standard
for Decorative Gas Appliance for Installation in Solid Fuel
Burning Fireplaces, ANSI Z21.60 or Z21.84 and shall also
be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI 7223NFPA 54 latest edition.
If you wish to install an unvented (vent-free) gas log
set, only unvented gas log sets which have been found
to comply with the standard for unvented room heaters,
ANSI Z21.11.2 are to be installed in this fireplace. Check
local codes for complaince for unvented (vent free) gas
log sets.
WARNING:
Do not operate a vented gas log set in this
fireplace with the chimney removed.
If a log lighter is installed, it should be installed on
the front of the grate in such a manner to minimize flame
impingement, the amount of heat exposure and that logs
placed on the grate will not rest directly on the log lighter
tube. Also, the floor clearance should be sufficient to
minimize the chance of the blockage of the burner ports
by ash accumulation.
Installation of the log lighter should follow all local
codes or, in the absence of local codes, to the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z 223. 1INFPA 54.
Refer to log lighter manufacturer for installation
instructions, clearances and any information specific to
that log lighter system.
9. Inspection and Cleaning
At least twice a year in warm climates or monthly
during the heating season in colder climates, thoroughly
inspect the fireplace and chimney system. Chimneys
must be installed so that access is provided for inspection
