NOTICE
Environmental damage due to improper disposal!
❒ Collect ash in a metal container with a tight-fitting cover until its final disposal.
❒ Use metal containers exclusively for ash.
➥ The improper disposal of ash can lead to environmental damage.
❒ Carry or push the ash container to the metal container.
❒ Open the cover of the metal container.
❒ Empty the ash container.
❒ Close the cover of the metal container again.
Ashes should be places in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed contain‐
er 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 con‐
tainer until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. Other waste should not be placed in
this container.
WARNING
Soot and flyash – Formation and Need for Removal
The products of combustion will contain small particles of flyash. The flyash will col‐
lect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the flow of the flue gases. Incomplete
combustion, such as occurs during start-up, shut-down, or incorrect operation of the
heater will lead to some soot formation which will collect in the exhaust venting sys‐
tem. The exhaust venting system should be inspected at least once every year to de‐
termine if cleaning is necessary.
❒ Establish a routine for the storage of fuel, care of the appliance, and firing techni‐
ques.
❒ Check daily for creosote buildup until experience shows how often cleaning is
necessary.
❒ Be aware that the hotter the fire, the less creosote is deposited, and that weekly
cleanings can be necessary in mild weather, even though monthly cleanings can
be enough in the coldest months.
❒ Have a clearly understood plan to handle a chimney fire.
