Preparing The Stove for Installation

Preparing The Stove for Installation

1.Inspect the unit for any obvious physical damage.

2.Check the primary air draft controls to ensure that they slide freely.

3.Check the operation of the bypass damper control to ensure that it will open and close properly.

4.Remove any items from within the firebox. Spread the drop cloth on the floor behind the heater. Next, tilt the heater so that the back is on the drop cloth.

5.Using a tape measure, make a line down 3" from the front of the heater.

6.Open the corresponding box and obtain the pedestal. Place the pedestal against the bottom of the heater (angle side to heater) at the marked line. Center the pedestal left and right and mark screw locations on bottom through outer holes of pedestal mounting angles. Set pedestal aside and drill four 7/32" holes in heater bottom.

7.Obtain four 1/4" self tapping screws and secure the pedestal to the heater.

8.If you chose legs rather than a pedestal, open box, attach legs to pre-drilled holes in bottom of heater.

9.Reposition the heater to the upright position.

10.Obtain the chimney connector from your dealer. Position on top of stove at flue exit. Position the two “J” bolts in connector using lock washer and nuts provided. Lock in place.
