Maintenance
Ash Removal
It is recommended to remove the ashes when the boiler
is not in operation. This lessens the chances of coming in
contact with hot surfaces. Ashes can be removed while in
operation but, extra care must be taken.

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.
Remove Ash Pan
Always wear gloves to remove ash pan. Grab the ash
pan by the finger hold and pull it out of the boiler. Lift the ash
pan by the finger hold and use it for carrying the ash pan.
Close the ash door before disposing the ashes

NOTE: Keep hopper lid, hopper swing plate, firebox door
and ash pan door closed during operation and maintain
all seals in good condition.
