Rear Exit Vent Conversion
This stove is built in the top exit vent configuration.
Follow the procedure below to convert the Vent Adaptor
for a rear exit installation.
1. Use a 1/4” nut driver to remove four inner screws from
around the Vent Adaptor collar. See fig. 3. Remove
five screws from around the top perimeter, and five
additional screws from the rear perimeter. The vent
adaptor will come away as an assembly.
2. Remove four screws on the rear exhaust cover plate
and re-install the cover plate over the top outlet. Figs. 4
and 5.
3. Orient the vent adaptor outlet to the rear and secure
the assembly using the screws removed previously. Fig. 6.
4. After the Top Convection Shroud and Top Plate have been
replaced, position the cast iron Top Plate Insert (#7, Fig.56)
within the top plate outlet cut-out.
