Clean the Griddle Before Use
At the factory we coat the griddle with vegetable oil to prevent rusting while the stove is in transit and storage. Remove the oil with a dry rag or paper towel before you use the stove.
Set Up the Stove
Remove the griddle, front grate bar, the bottom grate, the side bricks, and the ash pan from inside the stove. Place a protective pad on the floor, arrange some sec- tions of 4 x 4 lumber on the pad for support, and care- fully tip the stove back onto them.
Remove and discard the four large
Use 11 mm (3/8”) washers with three of the legs; the door/damper handle holder installs in place of a washer on the right front leg. Position the holder so the hole to accept the handle nub faces out from the right side of the stove. Tighten the bolts firmly.

You can reverse the flue collar by removing the two screws that attach the collar to the back of the stove, as in Figure 15. Be sure the gasket around the flue collar opening is in position when you screw the collar back on to the stove.
