A. Disposal of Ashes
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-
fi
t-
ting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on
a noncombustible
fl
oor or on the ground, well away from all
combustible materials, pending
fi
nal disposal. If the ashes
are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dis-
persed, they should be retained in the closed container until
all embers have thoroughly cooled.
B. Chimney Inspection/Cleaning
Inspect the chimney internally for obstructions and construc-
tion damage. Flue pipe joints and seams must be continu-
ous and mechanically tight.
The chimney should be inspected once every two months
during the heating season.
If creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce
the risk of a chimney
fi
re.
Refer to Figure 11.1 to remove/reinstall termination caps.

fi
rebox refractory for excessive cracks or gaps. If
cracks exceed 1/4 in. (6 mm) in width the refractory should
be replaced. See Section 12 for replacement information.
Fire Risk
