II Wood Burning Stove
30003840
Clean the Griddle Before Use
At the factory the griddle is coated with vegetable oil to
prevent rusting while the stove is in transit and storage.
Remove the oil with a dry rag or paper towel before you
use the stove.
Set Up the Stove
Remove any loose parts from inside the stove. Place a
protective pad on the floor, arrange some sections of 4 x 4
lumber on the pad for support, and carefully tip the stove
onto them, on its back.
Remove and discard the four large slot-head screws from
the stove bottom (Fig. 13) and install the stove legs, using
the hex head bolts from the parts bag. Use 3/8" washers
with three of the legs; the door/damper handle holder
installs in place of a washer on the right front leg. Position
the holder so the hole to accept the handle nub faces out
from the right side of the stove. Tighten the bolts firmly.

Install the Bottom Heat Shield
A bottom heat shield must be used unless the stove is to
be situated on a completely noncombustible hearth, such
as unpainted concrete over earth. To install the bottom heat
shield, loosen the leg bolts, and slip the bottom heat shield
C-clips onto the bolts. Attach the bottom heat shield to the
C-clips with the wing nuts, and tighten the leg bolts. Align
the shield as shown in Figure 14.

Storing the Handle
Use the removable handle to open or close the front doors,
or to change the position of the damper. After using it, re-
move it so it won’t get hot, and store it in the handle holder
installed behind the right front leg. (Fig. 15)

Reversing the Flue Collar
You can reverse the flue collar by removing the two screws
that attach the collar to the back of the stove. (Fig. 16) Be
sure the gasket around the flue collar opening is in position
when you screw the collar back on to the stove.
