To facilitate the installation of your 52 Bay stove, the
following steps should be taken before attempting to place
the stove in a fireplace.
A) Clear the area around the fireplace of furniture, rugs, etc.
to allow easy access.
B) Place drop cloths or other protective materials on the
floor and hearth to protect against any possible damage.
C) Remove ashes and thoroughly clean the firebox floor.
D) Remove the damper plate, if possible, or block it open
using non-combustible materials such as a brick or a rock.
E) Inspect the interior of the firebox and the flue for
possible deterioration of mortar joints, loose bricks and
