Mounting 

There are holes provided in the side panels at the front of the stove to allow 
appropriate fasteners to secure it to the cutout. There is also a tie down bar 
supplied  to  fasten  to the bottom  back of  the  cutout,  once  fastened,  side the 
stove into the cutout so the side panels are hooked underneath the bar. The 
drip tray will then fit under the bottom of the stove. 

**REMEMEBER: remove all protective plastic on ALL parts of the stove.
