Assembly

Unpack the Parts

Remove all loose parts from the firebox and the ash pan. Check to make sure all the parts are included and intact. You should have received:

•1 fully assembled heater body, (with catalytic burner installed in its chamber below the stove top)

•4 legs

•1 ashpan containing:

•1 replacement Interam gasket, for combustor

•1 ceramic handle for use on the doors

•1 brass handle for use on dial dampers

•1 bag of hardware used for assembly, including the following:

• To attach legs to stove

(4)1/4-20 x 1Ó hex head bolts

(4)1/4Ó washers

•For tightening the door latch

(1)5/32Ó Allen wrench

•Also

(1)spring which fits inside the square socket in the iron part of the brass handle and will push the handle off the stove in case you forget to remove it after adjusting the dial dampers. This keeps the handle from getting hot.

The ceramic handle will operate the doors and damper. The brass handle will operate the dial dampers.

The hardware in your stove is in standard US sizes. Most bolts are 1/4Ó-20, with 7/16Ó heads.

If any parts are missing or damaged, immediately notify your Seneca dealer for replacements. Do not install your stove without having all necessary parts or by using damaged parts.

Attach the Legs and Heat Shield

Since you have already received delivery of your Seneca, you are aware of how heavy it is. To safely accomplish the setup and installation of the Seneca, you should have two or more strong assistants to help move it.

Place the stove on its back on a soft surface such as a couple of old blankets. Tilt it carefully. Protect sur- rounding carpet with an old blanket or sheet.

Place a 1/4-20 x 1¹⁄₄Ó bolt through the leg. Position the leg, and fasten it to the stove with a wrench. Repeat this step for each of the four legs.

Next, screw the spacers into the bottom of the stove and fasten the bottom heat shield to the spacers. Now you can raise the stove onto its legs.

Install Catalytic Probe

•Locate the hole in the top of stove.

•Insert a 1/4Ó drill bit in the hole and rotate it with your fingers to clear a path for the probe.

•Insert the probe stem into the stove top and through the prepared opening.

Install Air Duct for Outside Air

If your installation will include outside air for combus- tion, follow these directions for attaching the three inch duct to the stove:

•Locate the 3Ó outside air port on the left side of the stoveÕs back plate (as seen when facing the back of the stove). Note the hole at the 9:00 oÕclock position on the flange of the air port; a sheet metal screw is inserted through the hole and into the pipe to secure the pipe to the stove.

•Insert the crimped end of the 3Ó duct into the air port until it makes contact with the stop.

•Mark the pipe through the flange hole with a marker or pencil.

•Remove the pipe and drill a hole through the marked spot with a 1/8Ó bit.

•Insert the pipe back into the air port, line up the holes in the pipe and flange, and secure the two together with a #10 sheet metal screw.
