sealed tight against the gasket.

Air leakage may cause:

• Flame and/or smoke spillage

• Wood to burn too fast

Do NOT use Ash Removal System while stove

is burning.

WARNING

Injury Risk.

• Gloves recommended

• May have sharp edges

CAUTION

1. Creosote (Chimney) Cleaning

• Frequency: Every 2 months during heating season or

as recommended by a certied chimney sweep; more

frequently if chimney exceeds or is under 14-16 ft.

(measured from bottom of appliance)

• By: Certied Chimney Sweep

Remove all ash from the rebox and extinguish all hot

embers before disposal. Allow the appliance to cool

completely. Disconnect ue pipe or remove bafe and

ceramic blanket from appliance before cleaning chimney.

Otherwise residue can pile up on top of the bafe and

ceramic blanket and the appliance will not work properly.

(See Bafe Removal on page 23). Close the door tightly.

The creosote or soot should be removed with a brush

specically designed for the type of chimney in use. Clean

out fallen ashes from the rebox.

It is also recommended that before each heating season

the entire system be professionally inspected, cleaned and

repaired if necessary.

Inspection:

Inspect the system at the appliance connection and at

the chimney top. Cooler surfaces tend to build creosote

deposits quicker, so it is important to check the

chimney from the top as well as from the bottom.

C. General Maintenance

NOTE: You can rapidly move the ARS latch handle up

and down to help remove any ash from the door.

d. Use a small brush to clean off the top of the door if

any ash remains.

3. Close the door handle, you will hear a “click” when

it closes. The ash drawer will not pull out if the door

handle is left in the open position. Wear gloves to

remove the drawer. Dispose of the ashes properly as

described in your owner’s manual.

Fire Risk.

Be sure to replace the cap before

operating the stove.

It is recommended to leave 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6-

13mm) of ash on the rebox oor to allow air

to ow freely underneath wood.
