DISPOSAL OF ASHES
ASHES SHOULD BE PLACED IN A METAL CONTAINER
WITH A TIGHTFITTING LID. THE CLOSED CONTAINER OF
ASHES SHOULD BE PLACED ON A NONCOMBUSTIBLE
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
EMBERS HAVE THOROUGHLY COOLED. OTHER WASTE
SHALL NOT BE PLACED IN THIS CONTAINER.
The firebox lining is made out of vermiculite slab insulation (ska
-
mol), which protects the outer steel plates from overheating.
With time small cracks might appear; this is normal. If it breaks
however, it must be replaced. Vermiculite is a porous, high-insu
-
lated material and must therefore be handled with care.
