FAILURE TO CLEAN AND MAINTAIN THIS UNIT AS INDICATED CAN
RESULT IN POOR PERFORMANCE AND SAFETY HAZARDS. NEVER
CLEAN WHEN HOT.
NOTE: Inspect burn pot periodically to see that holes have not become

ASH REMOVAL
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The
closed container or ashes should be placed on a noncombustible surface
or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials pending final
disposal. If ashes are disposed of by soil burial or otherwise locally
dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders
have thoroughly cooled.
ASH DISPOSAL FREESTANDING MODELS
The P23 Freestanding has an ash bin located below the firebox. To
remove ashes:

b. With the door closed clean heat exchanger tubes.
(See “CLEANING” and Figure 24).
c. Open door and remove the optional imitation log set, if in use.
Remove the burnpots inner section by grasping it and pulling straight
