I-800 INCINERATOR MAINTENANCE

Maintain Your i-800 Incinerator for Maximum Efficiency

Keeping your i-800 Incinerator well-maintained is the key to getting the most out of each burn. One of the simplest but most important maintenance tasks is removing ash build-up beneath the grate.

Why ash build-up matters

Over time, ash can accumulate under the grate and block the air intake opening at the front of the unit. Less airflow means less oxygen reaching the combustion chamber, which can result in slower and less efficient burns.

✓
Improved airflow Removing ash helps maintain consistent oxygen flow beneath the grate.
✓
Cleaner and hotter burns Better airflow supports stronger combustion performance and reduced smoke.
×
Blocked airflow Heavy ash build-up can restrict oxygen flow and reduce burn efficiency.

The benefits of regular ash removal

  • Improves airflow beneath the grate
  • Helps the incinerator burn more efficiently
  • Supports cleaner and more consistent operation
  • Helps maintain long-term performance

Simple maintenance checklist

✓
Check the ash space beneath the grate before regular use
✓
Use a spade to clear built-up ash from the lower chamber
✓
Keep the front air intake opening clear and unrestricted
✓
Let ash cool fully before handling or disposing of it
✓
Make ash removal part of your regular maintenance routine

How to dispose of ash safely

Ash can stay hot for longer than it looks. Treat all ash as a fire risk until you are certain it is fully cold.

⚠️ Important safety note

Always dispose of ash according to your local council requirements. Never place warm ash into rubbish bins, plastic bags, compost piles, dry grass, or near anything flammable.

Optional airflow control

The Air Intake Door helps regulate or shut off airflow into the combustion chamber, giving you more control over how the fire burns.
