Many installations will require the use of the supplied ash door heat shield. Refer to the “Floor Protection” sections starting on Page 9 to determine if your installa- tion requires the use of the ash door heat shield.

1.Remove the two Phillips pan head screws from the ash door.

2.Insert the screws through the ash door heat shield (from the painted side), place the 8 mm (5/16”) spacers over the screws, and carefully thread them back into the original holes. (Fig. 21) The curved lip should be upward, under the ashlip of the stove.

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 screws that attach it to the back of the stove. Be sure the gasket around the flue collar opening is in position when you screw the collar back onto the stove.

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.

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. (Fig. 22)

Assemble the Removable Insert Handle

The ceramic removable insert handle opens and closes the front doors. Remove after each use, and store it in the handle holder behind the right front leg. Assemble the handle by passing the 86 mm (3³⁄₈") screw through the ceramic shaft and into the bright metal nub. (Fig. 23) Tighten carefully until snug.
