Fig. 18
Make note of the position of the Feed Adjuster
knob so it can be returned to the same position
when you are nished removing the ashes.
Turn the Feed Adjuster knob to "Ash Out", this is
the ash removal setting, Fig 18. This setting turns
off the Combustion Blower and Feeder Motor but
does not turn off Draft Motor. Now the ash door can
be opened with minimal exhaust leakage. If ash
removal takes more than 4 minutes, the Distribution
Blower will start to cycle up and down to indicate
the Feed Adjuster knob was left in the "Ash Out"
position. This is not a problem if you remember to
return the Feed Adjuster to its previous setting when
completed. If left in the "Ash Out" position, the
re will burn out.

With each hopper of coal that is burned,
approximately one ashpan full of ashes must be
removed. (g. 19) It may take from one to four
days for the ash pan to get full, depending on the
burn rate.

The "Ash Out" position on the feed adjuster knob
is for ash removal (g. 18). This position stops the
Combustion Blower, the Feeder Motor, and slows
the Distribution Blower so the doors can be opened.
This is to limit exhaust fumes from leaving the unit.

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight
tting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed
on a noncombustible oor or on the ground, well away
from all combustible materials, pending nal 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.
