3.If you are not installing a Rear Heat Shield, use the phillips head screw to secure the upper flange of the Adapter to the stove at the hole from which the screw was removed in Step 1. (Fig. 24) Otherwise, a heat shield spacer will be used here. (See “Install the Rear Heat Shield”, below.)

Flue Collar Reversal

If a rear exit chimney connection is required, you will need to remove the flue collar from the stove top and move it to the back of the stove. (Fig. 25)

1.Use a phillips screwdriver to remove the two screws and rear cover plate from the back of the stove.

2.Remove the flue collar by removal of the two phillips screws from the top of the stove.

3.Attach the cover plate to the stove top. Be sure to keep the gasket in place.

4.Secure the flue collar to the back of the stove.

5.Insert the crimped end of the first section of chimney connector into the flue collar. Using the holes in the collar as guides, drill 1/8” (3mm) holes through the connector pipe. Use the three #10 x 1/2” sheet metal screws provided to secure the chimney connection to the flue collar.

Install the Rear Heat Shield

The #1896 Rear Heat Shield reflects radiant heat away from combustible materials located behind the stove. Its use enables you to install the stove at a reduced clear- ance to combustible materials in accordance with the specifications in this manual.

1.Remove the three phillips head screws from the back of the stove. The upper right screw also serves to secure the thermostat cover to the stove. (Fig. 26)

2.Thread the three 1¹⁄₄" spacers provided with the heat shield kit into the holes. Be sure to resecure the ther- mostat cover using a spacer at that location. If the Outside Air Adapter is used, secure its upper flange to the hole above the primary air inlet using a spacer instead of the screw. Hand tighten the spacers.

3.Align the holes in the heat shield with the spacers and secure the shield to the spacers using the three philips head screws previously removed. Tighten firmly with a screwdriver.

Install the Bottom Heat Shield

The #1985 Bottom Heat Shield must be used in the U.S. and Canada in any installation on a floor that is not composed of unpainted cement on earth.

1.Remove the 1/4-20x 3/8” phillips screw from the cen- tral mounting boss in the stove bottom. (Fig. 27)

2.Mount the bottom heat shield to the stove bottom using the same phillips head screw previously re- moved. The shield will butt against the cast bosses in the bottom of the ashlip at the front of the stove.
