1. Pedestal Assembly:
Open the box marked Pedestal and
remove the pedestal and the two
attachment bolts and washers (3/8"
diameter - 16 x 3/4" hex. head
bolts).
Optional Air Intake Port
Lift the stove onto the pedestal. Line up the threaded bolt holes in the bottom of the stove with the two
holes in the mounting angle of the pedestal. Using an open-end or socket wrench, fasten the pedestal to
the stove with the supplied bolts and washers. The Solid Oak Trim attaches to the front and rear edge of
the baseplate of the pedestal in the groove cut into the trim and is held in place by the weight of the stove.
To attach the trim, lift up the front side of the pedestal 2" (with stove attached) and slide the trim onto the
front edge, making sure it is aligned. Carefully lower the pedestal, making sure to keep the trim in place.
Repeat the process for the rear trim.
2. Steel Leg Kit Assembly:
Open the box marked Steel Leg Kit and remove the four 6 1/2" high black steel legs, complete with
rubber-tipped leveling bolts, the four attachment bolts (3/8" diameter - 16 x 3/4" hex. head bolts) and the
washers.
Raise the stove on some pieces of lumber to a height of about 7".
Line up the hole in the top of the leg with the threaded bolt hole
in each corner of the stove bottom. Using a 9/16" open end or
socket wrench, fasten the leg to the stove with the supplied
attachment bolts and washers, making sure the legs are flush
with the corners of the stove.
Attach Bolt (with
washer) to Stove
From Below
To level the stove, first make sure the leveling bolts with the rubber ends (some models come with steel
bolts -- the same directions apply) are screwed into position and backed off just enough to penetrate
below the steel portion of the leg. Unscrew each leveling bolt just enough so each leveling bolt is an
equal distance from the floor. You may wish to use a piece of wood or other spacer to measure this
distance. Next, lower the stove onto the ground and check for a level position. If slight adjustments need
to be made, make sure to first raise the stove before turning the leveling bolts. The rubber tips of the
leveling bolts will tear if they are adjusted while weight is applied to them.
