W415-1013 / B / 07.24.1364en8.9 FLASH FIrESA bed of ashes approximately 1" (25mm) deep should be left on the firebox bottom to help maintain a hot charcoalbed. When the fire has burned down and cooled, remove any excess ashes. To remove the ash, follow the directionsbelow.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 fire box floor, open the ash removal door and slide out the ash pan.Place the ashes into a steel, container with a tightly fitting 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 withthe lid and move the container away from the appliance onto a suitable non-combustible surface outdoorswhere the ashes can safely cool away from any combustibles. dispose of the ashes.83.1a properly installed appliance should not smoke. if yours does, check the following:• Has the chimney had time to get hot?• is the smoke passage blocked anywhere in the appliance, chimney connector or chimney?• is the room too airtight and the air intake not connected to the outside? Try with a window partly open.• Is the smoke fl ow impeded by too long a horizontal pipe or too many bends?• is it a weak draft perhaps caused by a leaky chimney, a cold outside chimney, too large a diameter of achimney, too short a chimney, or a chimney too close to trees or a higher roof?h93.2A fl ash fi re is created by igniting a very loosely stacked pile of kindling (typically but not restricted to wood witha cross section less than 1” X 1” (25mm X 25mm)). A major characteristic of a fl ash fi re is that the wood is piledin such a way that the volume of the fuel pile can consist of as much if not more air space as there is woodfuel. The intensity of the fl ash fi re can be greatly increased if supply of combustion air is increased (firebox or ash doors left open during fire). Although small flash fi res are a part of developing a charcoal bed whenstarting the furnace up from a cold start they can create unsafe operating conditions, damage to the furnaceand void all warranties. Flash fires may only be used when starting the furnace from a cold start and the fuelstack should never occupy more than 1/3 of the firebox volume. Do not create or maintain flash fi res once thefurnace is capable of sustaining operating using regular full size wood in tightly packed bundles. never createa fl ash fi re during a power out condition, damage to the furnace is likely and all warranties will be void. Typicalsymptoms of fl ash fi res which have caused over firing include glowing furnace components and melted exteriorpaint.8.10 SmOkING8.11 ASH rEmOvAL PrOCEdurESH3.72asH ReMOval DOOR sHall alWaYs Be tIgHtlY clOseD eXcept WHen cOal BeD Is eXtIn-guIsHeD anD asH aRe BeIng ReMOveD FROM FuRnace.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 ovERFIRE.
