Preparation
The installation of the Resolute two piece fireback can
be accomplished by one person but it may be helpful to
have an assistant. Please read through the instructions
presented here to familiarize yourself with the compo-
nents and the procedure.
Wear old clothes and cover the area surrounding the
Resolute with newspaper or drop cloth. Clean the inside
of the stove of sand and ashes (you may want to save
some to reline the stove bottom when finished).
Set aside at least one hour for the removal and installa-
tion of the fireback. The job may take two or three hours
to complete.
Procedure
1. Remove the griddle, flue collar, flue collar extension
and front door.
2. Remove the Phillips head screw from the right
insert and pry the right insert out with the large
screwdriver. If the screw is difficult to remove, you
can often loosen it by holding the screwdriver in
place and striking it a few times with the hammer.
Use of penetrating oil on hard-to-remove screws
Phillips Head Screwdriver

is often helpful. Follow manufacturer's directions.
Usually the oil needs to soak the threads of the
screw for 10 to 15 minutes.
3. Remove the Phillips head screw from the left insert
and take out the left insert.
4. Pull the fireback out, catching the damper ears and
damper as you do so. Unhook the damper linkage
from the damper rod.
5. Clean the remaining ashes and furnace cement
front the inside of the stove. Be sure to clean the
cement channels on the back of the stove and
lower fireback so the new cement will adhere.
6. Cement the secondary air tube channel in the stove
back. (Fig. 2)
