Instructions Part Number IN1176 Ed.B
13
The ash pit door should be closed before lighting a fire in the insert and it should remain closed whilst the insert
is operating. Opening the ash pit door when the insert is operating may cause flames to be directed fiercely at
the glass and the intense heat will turn the areas of glass hit by the flames, irrevocably, opaquely white.
The insert is capable of continuous operation and if it is being operated continuously it will therefore be necessary
to empty the ash pan whilst the insert has a burning fire. If the ash pit door is to be opened and the ash pan
removed safely the following procedure should be followed.
Allow the fire to burn down as low as practicable and check that no embers will fall from the insert when the
door is opened. Wearing the glove and using the operating tool partially open the main front door. This will let
air into the insert above the fire and limit air being drawn in through the grate but prevent smoke from spilling
into the room.
The ash pit door can now be opened and the ash pan removed. The ash pit door must be closed immediately
the ash pan is removed and the insert door must also be closed securely. When re-installing the empty ash pan
the insert door must again be slightly opened before opening the ash pit door. Never open the ash pit door
without the insert door being ajar and never leave either the insert door or the ash pit door open for longer than
absolutely necessary.
Preparation must be made for the safe handling and disposal of the burning embers in the ash pan before
beginning this operation. Good practice would be to have an empty metal container brought to the insert so the
ash pan can be emptied directly into it.
Never leave the insert unattended without both its doors being securely closed.
Always check, meticulously, that no embers have been spilled whenever any insert door has been opened.
Always use gloves when carrying the ash pan, even when you think the ash is cold.
Do not empty ash into a plastic waste bin or any bin containing combustible waste.
There will be hot embers in the insert, long, even days, after the fire appeared to extinguish. Never clean out
ashes onto paper, never use a plastic bristled brush or a vacuum cleaner to remove ash.
Never let children “help” with the insert in any way,
