DISPOSAL OF ASHES
ASHES SHOULD BE PLACED IN A METAL
CONTAINER WITH A TIGHTFITTING LID. THE
CLOSED CONTAINER OF ASHES SHOULD BE
PLACED ON A NONCOMBUSTIBLE 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 EMBERS
HAVE THOROUGHLY COOLED. OTHER WASTE
SHALL NOT BE PLACED IN THIS CONTAINER.
The rebox bottom lining is made out of
rebrick and the side lining is made out
of vermiculite slab insulation (skamol),
which protects the outer steel plates from
overheating. With time small cracks might
appear; this is normal. If it breaks however,
it must be replaced. Vermiculite is a porous,
high-insulated material and must therefore
be handled with care.
