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.

Lift the stove slightly so there is no weight on the leg 
while making the adjustment.

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.

Use the 1/4” -20 x 3” screw to attach the damper handle 
to the damper stub on the left side. 

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. (Fig. 24)   

The ceramic removable insert handle opens and closes 
the front doors. Remove after each use, and store it in 
the handle holder behind the right front leg.  Assemble 
the handle by passing the 3³⁄₈" screw through the 
ceramic shaft and into the bright metal nub. (Fig. 25) 
Tighten carefully until snug.
