8.0 MAINTENANCE
8.1 ASH REMOVAL PROCEDURES
NOTE: 1150 ash pans are not equipped with a
cover or rear folding handle. Ash pan not available
for model 1450.
Allow the ashes in your fi rebox to accumulate to a
depth of two or three inches; they tend to burn them-
selves up. When the fi re has burned down and cooled,
remove any excess ashes but leave an ash bed ap-
proximately 1 inch deep on the fi rebox bottom to help
maintain a hot charcoal bed.
To use your ash pan, pull the ash dump handle for-
ward, rotate approximately 90° counterclockwise to the
open position. Rake the excess ashes into the ash pan. Close
the ash well making sure that no coals or foreign objects are
preventing the ash plug or well door from closing.
NEVER OPERATE YOUR STOVE WITH THE ASH WELL IN
AN OPEN POSITION.
This creates a fi re hazard that may result in a house/chimney fi re,
internal damage to the stove or discoloration to the gold plated
door (plated fi nishes are not covered by the warranty). To ensure that the ash
well is fully closed, allow the door to snap shut, dislodging anything that may
be stuck at the opening. Flip the cover up onto the ash pan when transporting the
ashes to a closed container with a tight fi tting lid for storage. Carry the ash pan using the
front and back handles.

WARNING
TURN OFF THE POWER BEFORE SERVICING THE APPLIANCE.
APPLIANCE MAY BE HOT, DO NOT SERVICE UNTIL APPLIANCE HAS COOLED.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS.
Check your chimney and chimney connector for creosote and soot buildup weekly until a safe frequency for
cleaning is established.
If accumulation is excessive, disconnect the appliance and clean both the chimney and the appliance. You
may want to call a professional chimney sweep to clean them. Both have to be cleaned at least once a year or
as often as necessary.
Remove fi bre baffl es and clean above them once a year. Replace any broken bricks.
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.
NEVER OPERATE YOUR APPLIANCE WITH THE ASH PLUG (IF APPLICABLE) REMOVED.
FAILURE TO ACHIEVE A GOOD SEAL BETWEEN THE ASH OPENING, ASH PLUG OR ASH WELL DOOR
WILL RESULT IN AN OVER FIRE CONDITION THAT COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE.
