8.13 ASH REMOVAL PROCEDURES

ASH REMOVAL DOOR SHALL ALWAYS BE TIGHTLY CLOSED EXCEPT WHEN COAL BED IS EXTIN-
OPEN OR POORLY SEALED ASH REMOVAL DOORS DURING NORMAL OPERATION OF THE FUR-
NACE CAN CAUSE A FORGE AFFECT ON THE FUEL LOAD AND CAUSE THE FURNACE TO OVER
FIRE. THIS COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE FURNACE, PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL
IMPROPER DISPOSAL OF ASHES RESULT IN FIRES. DO NOT DISCARD ASHES IN CARDBOARD
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 bed of ashes approximately 1" (25mm) deep should be left on the fi rebox bottom to help maintain a hot charcoal
bed. When the fi re 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. Move ashes through the grate in the fi re box fl oor, open the ash removal door and slide out the ash pan.
Place the ashes into a steel, container with a tightly fi tting lid. Other waste shall not be placed in this con-
tainer. Replace the ash pan and ensure the ash removal door is tightly closed. Cover the container with
the lid and move the container away from the appliance onto a suitable non-combustible surface outdoors
where the ashes can safely cool away from any combustibles. Dispose of the ashes.

8.14 INSPECTION OF HEAT EXCHANGERS, FLUES AND CHIMNEYS

IMPORTANT:
○ Establish a routine for the storage of fuel, care of appliance, and fi ring techniques.
○ Check daily for creosote build up until experience shows how often cleaning is necessary.
○ Be aware that the hotter the fi re, the less creosote is deposited, and that weekly cleanings may be neces-
sary in mild weather, even though monthly cleanings may be enough in the coldest months.
○ Have a clearly understood plan to handle a chimney fi re.
○ See Section 9.8 for instructions for creosote removal.
INSPECT FLUE PIPES, FLUE PIPE JOINTS, AND FLUE PIPE SEALS REGULARLY TO ENSURE THAT
SMOKE AND FLUE GASES ARE NOT DRAWN INTO, AND CIRCULATED BY THE AIR CIRCULATION
The heat exchanger, fl ue pipe and chimney must be inspected frequently and cleaned reg-
ularly to remove accumulated creosote and ash. Under certain conditions of use, creosote
build up may occur rapidly. Cleanout of the heat exchanger, fl ue pipe, chimney, and draft
inducer, if used, is especially important at the end of the heating season to minimize corro-
sion during the summer months, caused by accumulated ash. The appliance, fl ue pipe and
GUISHED AND ASH ARE BEING REMOVED FROM FURNACE.
