Install the Optional Ash Door Heat Shield

Many installations will require the use of the supplied ash door heat shield. Refer to the “Floor Protection” sections starting on Page 10 to determine if your instal- lation 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 5/16” spacers over the screws, and carefully thread them back into the original holes. (Fig. 23) The curved lip should be upward, under the ashlip of the stove.

3.Tighten securely.

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.
