2.4.4 Ash Disposal
As a precaution, do not attempt to clean out the fireplace when the unit is hot. Wait until the ashes
and the internal components have thoroughly cooled (min. 24 hours) before removing the ashes
from the fireplace.
1. Fully open the doors with the cool hand tool and make sure that the two-piece grate and all
cinders have thoroughly cooled .
2. Using an all-metal industrial type vacuum cleaner such as a Charlescraft Bad Ash 2, clean out the
ashes on top of the grate. Then immediately empty the vacuum cleaner into a metal ash container
with a tight fitting lid. The closed ash container should then be placed on a non-combustible floor or
on the ground outside, well away from combustible materials pending final disposal. If the ashes
are to be disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed they should be retained in the
closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
3. Close and latch the doors with the cool hand tool.
Note: At least twice a year, have a chimney sweep or authorized service person
clean out
any accumulation of ash in the ash pan below the two-piece grate.
