Ash Removal - NESTOR MARTIN C13 Mode D'emploi

Ash removal

Empty the ash pan regularly to prevent the ash from spilling over. Do not allow ash to build up and
touch the under side of the grate. A layer of ash left over the grate when burning wood will protect the
grate, retain heat, and promote clean combustion.
CAUTION: THE ASH PAN MAY BE HOT. USE HIGH TEMPERATURE GLOVES.
To remove the ash from the stove, operate the oscillating grate using the handle provided. The tool
provided for removal of the ash pan should not be used to carry the ash pan. Use gloves and hold the
ash pan on both sides.
Ashes should be removed from ash pan when cold. Place ashes 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 in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all
cinders have thoroughly cooled.
Minimum Air Setting
The adjustment knob for the minimum air intake can be found underneath the stove, on the air flap assembly. This knob allows
you to increase, decrease or completely close the permanent air intake. Adjust this knob according to your chimney's draught.
Adjustment knob
Minimum air screw open (this is the factory setting,
suitable for a normal flue draught).
Minimum air screw closed or nearly closed
(in the case of an excessively strong flue
draught)
