XXV Pellet Stove
Removing Ashes:
Pellet quality will dictate how often it will be
necessary to empty the ash pan.
Disposal of Ashes
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with
a tight tting lid. The closed container of ashes
should be placed on a noncombustible oor or
on the ground, well away from all combustible
materials, pending nal disposal. If 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.
It is recommended that the stove is cold and shut
down for removing the ash pan.
1. Open the front door of the stove and then open
the ash door by pulling downward on the ash lip.
Remove the ash pan (be sure to wear protective
gloves if the stove is not cooled down). See Fig.
33.
2. Slide the ash pan back into the stove, seating it
