of a flat surface and

 

assemble the handle as shown.

With the handle pointing 45° from its final position, tighten the nut as far as possible with the pliers. Move the handle to its final position while still holding the nut with the pliers.

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 (2) screws that attach it to the back of the stove. Be sure the gas- ket around the flue collar opening is in position when you screw the collar back onto the stove.

Install the Optional Ash Door Heat Shield

1.Remove the two (2) 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. The curved lip should be upward, under the ashlip of the stove.

3.Tighten securely.

Install the Optional Bottom Heat Shield

NOTE: The Bottom Heat Shield is required in most in- stallations. Refer to Floor Protection, Page 9, for further details. The bottom heat shield comes with the ash pan heat shield.

1.Remove the four 10-24 x 1/2” hex head bolts from the corners of the ash drop on the stove bottom.

2.Screw the four (4) 1¹⁄" spacers into the holes from which you removed the bolts, finger-tight.

3.Align the bottom heat shield against the spacers with the stepped side toward the rear of the stove.

4.Secure the shield with the four (4) hex head bolts removed from the stove bottom previously.

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.

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.

Assemble the Removable Insert Handle

The white removable insert handle opens and closes the front doors. Remove after each use so it won’t get hot. Store it in the handle holder installed behind the right front leg. Assemble the handle by passing the 3³⁄" screw through the ceramic shaft and into the bright metal nub. Tighten carefully until snug.
