a scoop type ash pan. Re sure to protect

that
the door gasket will
contact the
face of the ash pan and keep the
pan securely in place.

Heat Exchanger Tuhes:A
rod located above the romhustion chamher door
is
used for cleaning the t~~hes. By pulling this rod in and out a few times.
you will clean the fly ash off the heat exchanger tubes.
If your stove was
recently turned off, the rod
may still be hot.
