Adjust the Leg Levellers

Lift the stove slightly so there is no weight on the leg while making the adjustment.

Reverse the Flue Collar (If Necessary)

Reverse the flue collar by removing the two (2) screws that attach it to the back of the stove. Be sure the gas- ket around the flue collar opening is in position when you screw the collar back onto the stove.

Attach the Primary Air Thermostat Handle

The primary air thermostat handle is the smaller of the two black handles. Secure the handle to the stub on the right side of the stove with an 8-32 x 2” slot head machine screw.

Attach the Damper Handle

Use the 1/4” -20 x 3” screw to attach the damper handle to the damper stub on the left side.

Assemble the Removable Insert Handle

The white removable insert handle opens and closes the front doors. Remove after each use so it won’t get hot. Store it in the handle holder installed behind the right front leg. Assemble the handle by passing the 3³⁄₈" screw through the ceramic shaft and into the bright metal nub. Tighten carefully until snug.
