Large Convection Heaters
General Information
The two-piece inner top kit for the Dutchwest Extra-
Large convection Heater fits 1990-93 units (model
2184, with two front doors) and 1993-97 units (model
2460, with a single front door).
The sides, front and inner back of the stove trap the in-
ner top. Replacing the original style inner top requires a
complete rebuild of the stove. Once the new style inner
top is in place, if you need to replace the insert you can
do so by removing only the stove top.
Work in a clear, well-lighted area. If possible, work out-
doors. If you must work indoors, use a drop cloth and
protect the surrounding area. Wear gloves, a dust mask
and protective eyewear.
Kit Contents:
• Inner top casting insert • Inner top insert
• Refractory insulator

Disassembly Procedure
1. Make sure the stove is completely cool before you
begin. Remove ashes and dispose of them properly.

corner holds the top to the rest of the stove body.
There is a gasketed seal between the stove top and
the rest of the body. Lift off the stove top and set it
aside, upside down. Check the gasket for compres-
sion or wear; replace if necessary.
