Preparing The Stove for Installation
1. Inspect the unit for any obvious physical damage.
2. Check the primary air draft controls to ensure that they slide freely.
3. Check the operation of the bypass damper control to ensure that it will open and close properly.
4. Remove any items from within the firebox. Spread the drop cloth on the floor behind the heater. Next, tilt the
heater so that the back is on the drop cloth.
5. Using a tape measure, make a line down 3" from the front of the heater.
6. Open the corresponding box and obtain the pedestal. Place the pedestal against the bottom of the heater (angle
side to heater) at the marked line. Center the pedestal left and right and mark screw locations on bottom
through outer holes of pedestal mounting angles. Set pedestal aside and drill four 7/32" holes in heater bottom.
7. Obtain four 1/4" self tapping screws and secure the pedestal to the heater.
8. If you chose legs rather than a pedestal, open box, attach legs to pre-drilled holes in bottom of heater.
9. Reposition the heater to the upright position.
10. Obtain the chimney connector from your dealer. Position on top of stove at flue exit. Position the two “J” bolts
in connector using lock washer and nuts provided. Lock in place.

DETERMINING THE CHIMNEY
LOCATION
1. Suspend a plumb bob from the ceiling above the
unit so that the weight is hanging in the center of
the flue exit. (A small weight on a string will
serve as a plumb bob.) Mark the ceiling where
the string is suspended to locate the center of the
chimney.
2. After locating the center of the hole, install the
ceiling support box, chimney or chimney
connector, flashing, and rain cap per the
chimney manufacturer’s instructions, and local
building codes for installation through
combustible walls or ceilings.
