Refueling
Before refueling your stove, turn the air supply on high for a few moments until there is a good
fire within the stove. This will ensure there is no build-up of harmful gases in the stove when the
door is opened and will also get the new fuel burning quickly and not allow it to kill the fire.
To reload the stove, open the door and feed the fuel in slowly, using tongs. Do not overfill the
stove. It is always better to put in small loads often rather than big fills less frequently. Close the
door gently after stove is reloaded.
You should always wear protective gloves and use tongs when tending a hot stove.
Ash removal
When ash has built up in the ash pan, it should be emptied. Failure to do this will cause ash to
build up around the grate and may cause your grate to warp or burn out. It is especially
important when burning fuel with high ash content, that you keep your grate clear and your ash
pan emptied regularly, so as not to damage your grate. Clear the grate with a poker on a regular
basis.
To remove the ash, open the stove door and use the operating tool provided to lift the ash pan
out of the stove. If possible, this should be done before lighting the stove, when the ash is cold.
Even if the ash appears to be cold, it should be placed in a non-combustible container as there
may be hot ash in the center of the pile. You should always wear protective gloves when
removing ash from the stove.
This stove is not designed to operate with the door open. Always close the stove door when you
have taken out the ash tray and leave closed while disposing of the ash. Only reopen to put ash
pan back into the stove and close immediately afterwards.
Disposal of ashes
Ashes should be placed in a steel container with a tight fitting lid and moved outdoors
immediately. The closed container of ashes should be placed 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. Do not place any other waste in the container.
