WARNINGS:
!Do not remove the ashpan when the stove is hot or while it still has burning coals or wood.
!Do not operate the stove when the ashpan is removed or loose.
!Whenever the ashpan is removed, inspect the gasket on the ashpan to make sure it is intact.
!Ashes must be completely cool before disposal. The ashpan, or other non-combustible container
with a sealing lid, may be used to contain the ashes until they are completely cool. The container
must be placed on a non-combustible surface while ashes are still warm. If burying the ashes,
dispose of them away from any structure in soil that does not contain flammable material (pine
needles, branches, etc.).
WHEN TO EMPTY THE ASHES
+Ashes inside the firebox may be pushed into the drop chute whenever ashes start to pile up. Empty
the ashpan once the ashpan fills 3/4 full. Depending upon the wood used and how thoroughly the
wood is burned, you may burn 1/4 to 3/4 of a cord of wood before the ashpan requires emptying.
REMOVING THE ASHPAN
1With the stove cool,
reach along both sides of
the ashpan and rotate the
two handles backwards.
2Slide the ashpan forward
and away from the stove.
3Flip the ashpan cover
over the ashpan to seal
the ashes inside. All
ashes must be
completely cool before
disposal. The ashpan, or
other non-combustible
container, may be used
to contain the ashes until
they are completely cool.
If burying the ashes,
dispose of them away
from any structure in soil
that does not contain
flammable material (pine
needles, branches, etc.).
Rotate the
handle on both
sides backwards
to release the
ashpan.

REPLACING THE ASHPAN
1Inspect the gasket on top of the ashpan. It must be intact and in place. If it is not, contact your
dealer for a replacement gasket. Swing the ashpan cover so it is behind the ashpan.
2Slide the ashpan with the lid towards the rear into its holder on the pedestal. The ashpan has a rail on
each side that slides over a rail on the pedestal. Slide the ashpan all the way in.

NOTE: make sure the

3Rotate the handles on both sides of the pedestal forward. The handles, when rotated, compress the
ashpan against the stove and create an air-tight seal between the ashpan and stove. If you do not feel
the handles compress, check alignment of the ashpan.
