Ash removal
Due to potential high temperatures, it is recommend
-
ed that the stove be out and cool prior to removing the
ash pan. Open the front door and grasp the ash pan
by the handle. With the ash pan removed, swing the
handle upward for carrying.
disposal of Ashes- Ashes should be placed in a
metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed
container of ashes should be placed on a non-

soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be
retained in the closed container until all cinders
have been thoroughly cooled.
