WARNING
Ash and all residue materials including the ash pan will be
extremely hot
and can cause
severe
life-threatening injuries
, therefore extreme care

taken whenever removing
hot ash and residue material including the ash pan from the hot stove.
It is highly recommended
providing the ash pan is not full of residue material that the ash
pan is emptied when the fire is
not in use
and the stove, with all residue and components are
cold.

products when carrying out ash removal.
