Assembly

Your convection heater requires some assembly. Follow the directions carefully and refer to the parts diagram at the back of this manual.

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 at the factory)

•4 legs

•1 ash pan

•1 probe thermometer

•1 ceramic handle assembly

•1 strip of Interam™ gasket (for the catalytic burner)

•1 hardware bag, containing the following parts:

•(3) #10 x 1/2” sheet metal screws, (to attach the chimney connector to the flue collar)

•(1) 1/8” Allen wrench, (to tighten the door latch)

•(1) 5/32” Allen wrench, (to tighten the damper handle)

•(4) washers, (used with the leg bolts to attach legs to the stove)

•(1) door handle insert holder for storing the ceram- ic handle assembly when it is not in use.

The four hex-head leg bolts have been installed in the appropriate holes in the bottom of the stove.

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.

*A Bottom Heat Shield is required in many instal- lations. Refer to the floor protection information found in the Installation Section of this manual.

Attach the Legs and Heat Shield

Place the stove on its back on a soft surface such as a couple of old blankets. Tilt it carefully; it is heavy. Use 4 x 4 blocking to make it easier to tilt the stove. Protect surrounding flooring with an old blanket or sheet.

The tops of the legs are slotted. Remove each leg bolt from the bottom of the stove and then replace it with a washer from the hardware bag. If you are attaching a bottom heat shield, place a heat shield bracket on each bolt. Place the door handle insert holder on the bolt for the left rear or either front leg. Slide the legs onto the bolts and gently tighten each bolt. (Fig. 19) If you are attaching a bottom heat shield, screw it onto the heat shield brackets.
