Emptying the Ash Pan
•
The boiler contains two areas where ash needs to be removed at regular intervals.
•
The primary ash pan is located in the main combustion chamber. The frequency of
emptying the ash pan is determined by the length of time the boiler has been running
and under what load conditions. Once the ash in the ash pan has reached the top then it
should be emptied. A daily check during the first few days of operation will give an
indication as to when it needs to be emptied.
