STOVE PREPARATION

Remove any external packaging from the stove. Lift the hopper lid and remove any pre-pack-
aged items that were shipped in the hopper. Also open the firebox door and remove any
pre-packaged items. Use a 7/16" socket or open end wrench, to remove the two bolts that
secure the stove to the wood shipping pallet (see Figure 16)

Freestanding Model:

1. Remove the pedestal from its box and place it beside the stove.
2. With a helper, lift the stove onto its pedestal base. The stud on the front of the stove must fit
into the front mounting hole on the pedestal.
3. Place one 1/4" nut over the front stud and two 1/4" bolts into the two holes at the rear, where
the stove was originally secured to the pallet (see Figure 17).
4. The rear panel of the pedestal must be secured to the bottom plate of the stove with the other
two 1/4" bolts.
5. Tighten all five fasteners with a properly sized wrench or socket.
NOTE: Ensure that the stove sits evenly on the pedestal. Excessive air leakage will cause
poor stove performance.
Remove the two 1/4" bolts from the
underside of the pallet
