(item 45) for this is on the left hand side of the stove.
Rake the ash into the ashpan (item 37) through the
grating (item 46) in the centre of the hearth. Push
closed the ashpit shutter (item 54) and dispose of
the ashes by removing the ashpan (item 37) from
the stove.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Remove ash carefully. Ashes should be placed in a
metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed
container of ashes should be placed 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 closed container until all cinders have
thoroughly cooled.

CREOSOTE (Formation and the need for
removal)
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and
other organic vapours, which combine with expelled
moisture to form creosote. The Creosote vapours
condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a
slow burning fire. As a result creosote residue
accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited this
creosote makes an extremely hot fire. The chimney
connector and chimney should be inspected at least
twice monthly during the heating season to
determine if a creosote build-up has occurred. If
creosote has accumulated it should be removed to
reduce the risk of chimney fire.
Inspect the chimney connector frequently. Tap the
connector with your finger when the pipe is cool. If
you hear a dull echo, the pipe may need cleaning.
Disassemble the chimney connector and clean the
sections. Replace corroded pipe sections. The fitting
of a slip-joint in the stove makes the dismantling
easy for cleaning and inspection of chimney and
stove.Replace the empty ashpan (item 37) in the
stove, close the ashpit door (item 13) and re-light the
fire.
When inspecting a masonry chimney, start at the
cleanout door, normally found in the basement, at
the base of the chimney, or on the outside. If your
chimney does not have a clean-out door it must be
inspected and cleaned by removing stove from
chimney.
GLASS REPLACEMENT
(a) Open the firedoor (item 8) fully.
(b) Remove the four corner screws and clips (items
70) and carefully remove the broken glass.
(c) Clean the glass recess in the door.
(d) Attach adhesive thermal tape to the perimeter of
the replacement glass.
(e) Place the thermal taped side of the glass into the
firedoor recess and replace the four corner clips
(items 70) and screws.
(f) Tighten screws.
(g) Replace glass only with ceramic glass

WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE STOVE
WITH BROKEN OR CRACKED GLASS. ABUSE
SUCH AS STRIKING, SLAMMING AND USE OF
SUBSTITUTE
MATERIALS
SHOULD
BE
AVOIDED.
GLASS CLEANING
The glass will clean itself when there is sufficient
heat generated by the burning fuel. If a build-up of
creosote occurs on the glass due to poor draught
conditions, poor quality fuel or very low burning for
long periods of time, it is best to clean the glass
manually when glass is thoroughly cooled.
VITREOUS ENAMEL CLEANING
General cleaning must be carried out when the
stove is cool.
If this stove is finished in a high gloss vitreous
enamel, to keep the enamel in the best condition
observe the following tips:
1.
Wipe over daily with a soapy damp cloth,
followed by a polish with a clean dry duster.
