the Grill with a small metal fireplace shovel or other similar tool. Dispose of the ashes per
the following instructions.
WARNING! A vacuum cleaner is the best way to remove ashes from the Firepot but this
must be done with extreme care to avoid the risk of fire. Again, cleaning the ash from the
Firepot should be done only when the Grill is
COLD.
A utility-type vacuum cleaner, having a metal collection canister without a bag would be
best for this task. However, almost any vacuum cleaner will work safely if this procedure is
properly followed.
After assuring that the ash in the Firepot is COLD , vacuum the ash from the inside of the
Firepot.
A) If your vacuum cleaner is a bag-less model, empty any previously accumulated debris
from the collection chamber. Then vacuum the ash from the inside of the Firepot. Once the
Firepot is clean, empty the collection chamber into the metal container described below
without delay. Make sure that there is no remaining ash residue left in the collection
chamber
B) If your vacuum cleaner is a model that uses a disposable bag, install an unused one in
the machine. Then vacuum the ash from the inside of the Firepot. Once the Firepot is
clean, remove the bag from the vacuum cleaner and place it in the metal container
described below without delay.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES:
WARNING! Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. 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. When 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.
