CAUTION: Handle porcelain enamel castings gen-
tly. The finish is fragile and can be easily dam-
aged. Place castings on a towel, carpet or other
protective surface.
To complete installation of your Stardance gas stove,
you must first assemble the outer cast shell. Follow
the directions for each model. Refer to Homeowner's
Manual for complete installation instructions.
Unpacking the Shell
The Stardance shell is comprised of three cast iron
plates plus the front with operable doors. The top plate
for the top vent models is a single piece. The top plate
for the rear vent models has three (3) pieces, the plate,
screen and grate. Compare parts recieved with those
shown in Figures 1 & 2. Carefully inspect all parts and
immediately report any damaged or missing parts to
your dealer/distributor.
