Encore ® 2040CE Non-Catalytic / Catalytic Wood Burning Stove
30005552
CAUTION: The Encore will be hot while in operation.
Keep children, clothing and furniture away. Contact
may cause skin burns.
DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS HEATER. Overfi ring may
cause a house fi re, or can result in permanent dam-
age to the stove and to the catalytic combustor. If any
part of the Encore glows, you are overfi ring.
Ash Disposal
You should remove ash before it reaches the top of the ash
pan. Check the level at least once a day. Every few days,
clear any ash from the outer edges of the fi rebox. Most of
the ash will fall through the grate. Slice or stir the ash with
a shovel or poker so that it falls through the grate slots.
IMPORTANT: Check the level of ash in the ash pan before
reloading the stove. If the ash level is close to the top edge
of the pan, empty the pan according to this procedure:
•
Open the damper.
•
Open the griddle or front doors, and use a shovel or
poker to stir excess ash through the ash slots in the
grate down into the ash pan.
•
Close the griddle or doors, and unlatch the ash door. It
will pivot, swinging the ash pan out of the stove.
•
Slide the cover onto the pan, making sure it is securely
closed. (Fig. 29)
•
Remove the ash pan, making sure to keep it level.
•
To keep the cover from sliding off and to keep ash from
falling on the fl oor, do not tilt the ash pan forward.
If the stove is in operation, close the ash door while
disposing of the ash.

Fig. 29 Be sure the cover is securely attached before removing
the ash pan.
•
Properly dispose of the ash in a metal container with a
tight-fi tting lid. Store the container outdoors away from
all combustible material.
•
Return the ash pan to its original position in the stove,
and close and latch the ash door.
•
Do not operate the stove with the ash door open. This
will result in over-fi ring, and could cause damage to the
stove, void the warranty, or even lead to a house fi re.
Empty the ash pan regularly, typically every one to three
days. The frequency will vary depending on how you op-
erate your Encore: ash will accumulate faster at higher
heat outputs.
Remove ash frequently and place it outdoors in a metal
container with a tight-fi tting lid. Place the closed container
of ash on a noncombustible fl oor or on the ground, well
away from all combustible materials, pending fi nal disposal.
If the ash is disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally
dispersed, it should be kept in the closed container until all
cinders have thoroughly cooled.
You can use wood ash as a garden fertilizer.
CAUTION: Never use your household or shop vacuum
cleaner to remove ash from the stove; always remove and
dispose of the ash properly.
