Ash Auger Tube
Principles
The ash auger tube is a six inch diameter tube that
extends from the rear of the ash pan, to approximately
four inches past the cladding of the HEATMOR™. This
extension allows placing a container under the tube to
catch the ashes.
Ash Auger Tube Cover Plate
Principles
The auger tube cover plate is a round plate that is secured
onto the end of the ash auger tube, creating an airtight
seal.
Operation
1)
When removing ashes, always turn off
combustion air blowers.
2) Remove the two thumb nuts.
3) Insert the ash auger and remove the ashes.
4) Replace the ash auger tube cover plate and securely
tighten the two thumb nuts.

With proper handling, it is not necessary to let the fire go out or the ashes to cool
before removing ashes.
Ash Pan
Principles
The ash pan is a storage reservoir for completely burned ashes and provides support for
the grates. It is also a distribution area for the combustion air that flows upwards through
the grates. A reasonable amount of ashes (two to four gallons) should be removed during
each ash removal. The ash pan is replaceable.
Removal and Replacement
1) Remove all sand from base area.
2) Remove small air pipe leading from ash pan to
front air box.
3) Slide ash pan approximately three inches
towards the front of the HEATMOR™ base, to
free the ash pan from the ash auger tube at the
back of the ash pan.
4) Lift the ash pan straight up and remove through
the firebox door opening.
5) Replace with a new or repaired unit.
6) Replace sand.
Disconnect power before removing ashes.
Ash Auger
Principles
The auger provides a convenient and cleaner method of removing ashes from ash pan.
Operation
1)
The ash auger should never be left in the ash pan
between clean-outs of ashes.
Doing so will interfere
with the required combustion airflow beneath the grates,
and required combustion airflow up through the grates.
2) Twist the auger into the ashes and either screw or pull
the ashes out.
3) A proper method of storing the ash auger is to attach
a six inch PVC pipe, three feet long, to the side of the
HEATMOR™. Storing the auger in the tube will keep it
from being frozen into or under snow.
