WinterWarm Small Insert

2000888

In Fireplace Insert installations, over-sized chimneys

can produce less effective results than those that are

properly sized, and interior chimneys usually perform

better than those located outside the house.

Different results may be experienced even in the same

installation if you switch from burning good, dry wood to

wood that is partially rotted or inadequately seasoned.

To compensate for these factors in cold climates, it may

be necessary to operate the WinterWarm Small Insert

for longer periods of time than described above before

closing the damper, or to leave the air control set to a

higher level more of the time.

Remove and Store Ash Safely

Check the ash pan before reloading the stove, and

empty if necessary using the following procedure:

• Turn off the fans.

• Open the damper.

• Open the load door.

• Pull open the ash chamber door with the fall-

away handle. (Fig. 13)

• If the ash level is nearing the top, take the pan

outdoors and empty the ash into your ash con-

tainer.

• Ash may contain hot coals and must be treated

with extreme care.

• Before replacing the ash pan, clear away any ash

that has spilled over the sides and back of the

pan.

• Replace the ash pan and close the ash door and

front door.

Fig. 13 Wear heavy stove gloves if it is necessary to handle

the ash when hot coals are present.

Empty the ash pan regularly, typically every one to

three days. The frequency will vary depending on how

you operate your WinterWarm Small Insert; more

wood is consumed at higher heat output settings, and

ash will accumulate faster.

Ash should be removed fre-

quently and placed outdoors

in a metal container with a

tight-ﬁtting lid. The closed

container of ash should

be placed on a non-

combustible ﬂoor or

on the ground, well

away from all combus-

tible materials, pending ﬁnal

disposal. If the ash is disposed of by burial in soil or

otherwise locally dispersed, it should be retained in

the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly

cooled. Wood ash may be used as a garden fertilizer.

CAUTION: Never use your household or shop vacuum

cleaner to remove ash from the ﬁreplace; always re-

move and dispose of the ash properly.
