STEP 11:
Remove the lower fireback, 2 each, ¼-20 x 1” hex head cap screws and 2
each, ¼” flat washers. Pry the fireback loose with a pinch bar from its
bottom cement channel.
STEP 12:
Remove the stove back, 6 each, ¼-20 x 3/4” hex head cap screws and 6,
each ¼” flat washers. Strike the stove back joint areas with a rubber
mallet to loosen the cement.
STEP 13:
Remove the combustion package assembly and the right and left heat
deflectors from the stove back. Handle the combustion package assembly
gently and place it in a safe area until you are ready to examine and clean
it.
STEP 14:
Disconnect the thermostat cable at the primary air valve (outer rear of the
stove bottom). Loosen the Allen set screw and snip off the cable loop.
Gently pull the thermostat from its recess in the right air wear plate. Do
not lose the washer, spring, jump ring and cable in the process.
STEP 15:
Remove the right air/wear plate, 2 each, ¼-20 x 1” hex head cap screws.
Chip away the cement at the joints and mating surfaces with a cold chisel
and ball peen hammer. Drive a ½” cold chisel between the rear flange
(extreme top and bottom) of the wear plate and the stove end and gently
pry loose (see fig. D-1).
