Instructions
Tools Needed: Phillips screwdriver, 7/16" Wrenches, Allen
Key Wrench, Flashlight or droplight
Before starting the procedure, be sure the stove is cold.
Clean all ashes from the ash dump and the combustion
chamber. Use the empty ash pan as a storage spot for
hardware, tools and small parts. Work in a clean, well-
lighted area. Protect your work area with tarps or drop
cloths. If possible, remove the stove to a utility area,
take off the legs and raise the stove to a secure elevated
surface.
CAUTION: Wear gloves, a dust mask and
protective eyewear when servicing a stove.

Disassembly

1. Remove the doors, andirons and the bottom grate. The
tab on the rear grate wedges the shoe in place so it will
be tight. Begin by prying the front of the grate up with a
screw driver. Carefully slide the refractory shoe out of
the unit being careful not to damage the gasket on the
bottom (Fig. 1).

2. Take out the right side brick and insulating panel by
removing the Phillips head screw holding the bracket
(Fig. 2) and carefully sliding the items out.
