ASH DISPOSAL
Before removing ashes, cease refueling and allow the fire to die down. Before opening the Ash Pit
door, ensure the fire in the boiler is completely extinguished.
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes
should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible
materials, pending final disposal. If the 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.
WARNING: ASHES USUALLY CONTAIN LIVE DORMANT COALS, WHICH MAY
BURN FOR MANY HOURS AFTER A RECOGNIZABLE FLAME HAS DISAP-
PEARED. USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN HANDLING AND DISPOSING ASHES.
