7.5 Riddling the firebox
With the main fire door closed, insert the removable handle into either the left or right grate
riddle sockets. Move the handle up and down repeatedly, until the ember / ash bed is
reduced. Follow the procedure on ash removal when complete.
7.6 Ash removal
The ash pan should be emptied when the level of ash reaches the top of the ash pan. On
no account should the ash be allowed to build up to touch the underside of the grate bars,
as this will greatly reduce the life span of the grate.
To remove the ash pan ALWAYS USE the supplied stove gauntlets -
• Open the door of the stove, pausing briefly when ajar so as to allow the fire to
adjust to the increased air supply.
• Locate the central handle on the ash pan with one hand (see Fig.7).
• Carefully withdraw the ash pan from the ash pit chamber.
• When the second lever handle is exposed hold this with the remaining hand, thus
acting as shovel.
• Empty the ash into a suitable metal container. Replace the ash pan into the stove,
reversing the above procedure and close the fire door.
Warning : Ash can be very HOT! Care must be taken not to burn hands or house-
hold objects with falling embers—ALWAYS USE THE GAUNTLETS SUPPLIED.
Empty ash only into a metal container. Even if the ash appears to be cold, red hot embers
may be concealed and could easily start a fire or cause an injury.
