Ash Disposal and Removal
Caution
Make sure the fire is out and stove is cold before removing ashes! Never burn your
stove with the ash drawer open. Be careful when you remove ashes from the stove,
there may be embers left as long as 24 hours after the stove was last used. Ashes
should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid and moved outdoors
immediately. Other waste should not be placed in this container. The closed container
of ashes should be places on a noncombustible 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 kept in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
Cleaning Your Stove
The stove is cleaned with a moist lint free cloth. Senotherm spray color is available for
repair of possible damage or scratches. Your dealer has the right spray in the right
color. As there may be minor color differences, it is recommended to repair larger areas
with natural borders. You will get the best result if the stove is repaired while it is hand-
warm (if the stove is too hot the paint will be granular). Remember to keep the area well
ventilated when using the paint. Over firing may cause some paint areas on black
stoves to turn gray. Do not use more wood than recommended. Start a small fire after
repairing paint to allow the paint to cure. Keep the area well ventilated during this firing.
Soapstone
The soapstone may be cleaned with fine sandpaper or a dry sponge.
