A bed of ashes approximately 1" (25mm) deep should be left on the firebox bottom to help maintain a hot charcoal
bed. When the fire has burned down and cooled, remove any excess ashes. To remove the ash, follow the directions
below.
A. After the last coal has extinguished, let the appliance cool at least
two hours.
B. Open the appliance doors.
C. Scoop the ash from the firebox into a container with a lid. Cover
the container and move the container away from the appliance
onto a suitable surface to ensure the ashes cool.
D. Dispose of the ashes.
NOTE: Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-
fitting lid. 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 or in soil or otherwise locally dispersed,
they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
IMPROPER DISPOSAL OF ASHES RESULT IN FIRES. DO NOT DISCARD ASHES IN CARDBOARD
BOXES, DUMP IN BACK YARDS, OR STORE IN GARAGES.
IF USING A VACUUM TO CLEAN UP ASHES, BE SURE THE ASHES ARE ENTIRELY COOLED. USING A
VACUUM TO CLEAN UP WARM ASHES COULD CAUSE A FIRE INSIDE THE VACUUM.
A properly installed appliance should not smoke. If yours does, check the following:
• Has the chimney had time to get hot?
• Is the smoke passage blocked anywhere in the appliance, chimney connector or chimney?
• Is the room too airtight and the air intake not connected to the outside? Try with a window partly
open.
• Is the smoke flow impeded by too long a horizontal pipe or too many bends?
• Is it a weak draft perhaps caused by a leaky chimney, a cold outside chimney, too large a diameter
of a chimney, too short a chimney, or a chimney too close to trees or a higher roof?
• Is the moisture content of the wood greater than 20%?

A. Get the appliance hot by moving the air control to high and let-
ting the appliance burn for 15 minutes.
B. Load your larger pieces of wood compactly, packed close
enough to prevent the fl ames from penetrating it completely.
C. After approximately 30 minutes, depending on the size of the
load, reduce the draft control setting making sure that the  re is
not extinguished.
D. In the morning the appliance should still be hot, with embers in
the coal bed. Stir the coals and load small pieces of wood to
re-ignite the  re, if desired.
NOTE: Differences in chimney height and draft may lower overall burn times.
DO NOT OVERFIRE THE APPLIANCE! Over ring can occur by burning large amounts of smaller wood
pieces or vigorously burning large loads of wood with the draft control on "HIGH" (fully open) for long
periods of time (one or two hours).
BURNING WET, UNSEASONED WOOD CAN CAUSE EXCESSIVE CREOSOTE ACCUMULATION, WHICH
WHEN IGNITED CAN CAUSE A CHIMNEY FIRE THAT MAY RESULT IN A SERIOUS HOUSE FIRE.
When refuelling open the door slowly to prevent smoke spillage. Use a pair of long appliance gloves when
feeding the re. Keep a small steel shovel nearby to use as a poker and to remove ashes. Do not store wood
within 4 feet (1.2m) of the appliance.
