Ash Removal
It is recommended to remove the ashes when the
furnace is not in operation. This lessens the chances of
coming in contact with hot surfaces. Ashes can be re-
moved while in operation but, extra care must be taken.
Open Outer Ash Door
Lift the two latches shown in figure 63 and open
the outer door as shown in figure 64. If the Distribution
Blower is running when the outer door is open, some air
will escape around the door opening. This is not a prob-
lem, however any dust that is caused in the ash removal
process can potentially be blown around.

Disposal of Ashes
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with
a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be
placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground,
well away from all combustible materials, pending final
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.

Soot and Flyash: Formation and Need for
Removal
The products of combustion will contain small
particles of flyash. The flyash will collect in the exhaust
venting system and restrict the flow of the flue gases.
Incomplete combustion, such as occurs during startup,
shutdown, or incorrect operation of the room heater will
lead to some soot formation which will collect in the
exhaust venting system. The exhaust venting system
should be inspected at least twice monthly to determine
if cleaning is necessary.
Open Inner Ash Door
Lift latches shown in figure 64 and open the inner
door as shown in figure 65.
Remove Ash Pan
Always wear gloves to remove ash pan. Grab the
ash pan by the handle and pull it out of the furnace. Lift
the handle and use it for carrying the ash pan. Close the
inner door before disposing of the ashes.
NOTE: Keep hopper lid and ash pan doors closed
during operation and maintain all seals in good
condition.
