Assembly

Unpack the Parts

Remove all loose parts from the firebox and the ash pan. Check to make sure all the parts are included and intact. You should have received:

•1 fully assembled heater body, (with catalytic burner installed in its chamber below the stove top)

•4 legs

•1 Installed ash pan containing:

•1 Replacement Interam gasket, for combustor

•1 Ceramic Handle, for use on the doors and damper

•1 Brass Handle, for use on dial dampers

•1 bag of hardware used for assembly, including the following:

• To attach the legs to the stove:

(4)1/4-20 x 1” hex head bolts

(4)1/4” washers

•For tightening the door latch:

(1)Allen wrench, 5/32”

•also...

(1)Spring, which fit inside the square socket in the iron part of the door handles, and will push the handle off the stove in case you forget to remove it after adjusting the dial dampers. This keeps the handles from getting hot.

The hardware in the stove is in standard US sizes. Most bolts are 1/4-20 and 7/16 heads.

If any parts are missing or damaged, immediately notify your Dutchwest dealer for replacements. Do not install your stove without having all necessary parts or by using damaged parts.

Attach the Legs and Heat Shield*

Since you have already received delivery of your Sequoia, you are aware of how heavy it is. To safely accomplish the setup and installation of the Sequoia, you should have two or more strong assistants to help move it.

Place the stove on its back on a soft surface such as a couple of old blankets. Tilt it carefully. Protect sur- rounding carpet with an old blanket or sheet.

First, loosely install a bottom heat shield bracket and leg to each corner of the stove. Place a 1/4-20 x 1” bolt through the unthreaded hole in the bracket so the bracket’s threaded hole will extend below the leg. Position the leg, and fasten it to the stove finger-tight with bolt. Repeat this step for each of the four legs.

*Bottom heat shields are standard only on stoves sold in Canada.

Next, fasten the bottom heat shield to the brackets, adjusting the legs as needed to make the shield fit. Tighten the shield securely, then use a wrench to tighten the leg bolts firmly. Now raise the stove onto its legs.

Install the Fittings

To install the catalytic probe:

•Locate the hole in the top of stove.

•Insert a 1/4” drill bit in the hole and rotate it with your fingers to clear a path for the probe through the fragile refractory material.

•Insert the probe stem into the stove top and through the prepared opening.

Your stove has been shipped with grate covers in- stalled. These must remain installed when burning wood, but should be removed for burning coal.

The hardware in your stove is in standard US sizes. Most bolts are 1/4”-20, with 7/16” heads. Some of the hex-head bolts have metric heads. Use wither a 3/8” (10mm) wrench, or an 8mm wrench or pliers if you are attaching a blower to the stove.

The multipurpose brass handle will operate the two spin-dial air controls, the doors and the stove damper.
