FAILURE TO CLEAN AND MAINTAIN THIS UNIT AS INDICATED
CAN RESULT IN POOR PERFORMANCE AND SAFETY HAZARDS.
NEVER CLEAN WHEN HOT.
NOTE: Inspect burn pot periodically to see that holes have not
become plugged, if so, clean thoroughly.
ASH REMOVAL
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid.
The closed container or ashes should be placed on a noncombustible
surface or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials
pending final disposal. If ashes are disposed of by soil burial or
otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed
container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
