SLOW BURNING
It is not possible to shut down the appliance com-
pletely as this would cause smoke to be produced. A
minimum burning rate can be achieved by closing
the spinwheel to its stop position and also pushing in
the slider. In the event that the glass soots up
increase the secondary air by pulling out the slider a
little more.
DE-ASHING
Never allow the ashpan to over fill as it will cause
damage to the grate. Open the fire door and remove
ashpan using the operating tool. Close the fire door.
When the ash is disposed of, replace the empty ash-
pan. (See Fig.9) Do not leave the fire unattended
with the fire door open, even for a minute.

DISPOSAL OF ASH
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a
tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should
be on a non-combustible 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 cinders have
thoroughly cooled.
MAINTENANCE
CREOSOTE: Formation and Need for Removal
When some fuels are burned slowly, they produce
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 cre-
osote makes an extremely hot fire.
CHIMNEY CLEANING
Chimney and connector should be cleaned at least
twice a year. Once before heating season and once
after. The chimney connector and chimney should
be inspected at least monthly during the heating
season to determine if a creosote build-up has
occurred. Remove the cast iron baffle plate located
at the top end of the firebricks before chimney clean-
ing.
When inspecting a masonry chimney, start at the
cleanout door, normally found at the base of the
chimney, or on the outside. If your chimney does not
have a clean-out door one should be provided.
