two (2) Pedestal Sides (#3), Pedestal Back
(#2), and Hardware Pack (#27) located inside
firebox.
NOTE: Stove may be lightened during instal-
lation by removing fire brick. Replace firebrick
before using. There are three different sizes
brick. Note the location of each while remov-
ing or refer to illustration 1 for proper location
inside firebox.
3. Assemble pedestal using fasteners provided
in hardware pack. Attach both sides (#3) to
pedestal front (#4) then attach pedestal back
to sides.
4. Place flattened carton on floor and place base
(#5) face side up on the carton.
5. Place pedestal assembly on top of base. Align
holes in pedestal sides with holes in the base.
Insert bolts into each hole.
6. Carefully tip the base assembly back, place a
lockwasher and thread a nut onto each bolt.
Tighten all pedestal hardware.
7. Replace the pedestal assembly to the upright
position.
8. After properly locating floor protector (fig 1,
page 4) to accomodate minimum stove clear-
ances, place pedestal in position on floor pro-
tector.
9. Carefully position stove body onto base as-
sembly. Angle brackets attached to bottom of
stove must fit inside pedestal assembly. Using
self-tapping screws, attach pedestal base to
stove using two screws on each side.
NOTE: Stove body is HEAVY. Make sure
you have adequate help to lift stove body onto
pedestal and use proper lifting techniques.

allow the power cord to touch any hot surfaces.
Keep power cord at least 12” from stove sur-
faces.

a grounded 120v outlet.
1. The stove must be placed on solid concrete,
solid masonry, or when installed on a com-
bustible floor, on a listed floor protector, such
as Hy-C or Imperial Model UL 3648BK or
equivalent with 0.8 R-factor. (NOTE: to calcu-
late R-value of alternative materials see page
17). The base must extend at least 18” beyond
the front of the access door, 8” to the sides
of fuel opening, and must extend under and
2 inches beyond either side of the stove pipe
if it is elbowed towards a wall. (See figures 1
& 3 and consult local building codes and fire
protection ordinances). A grouted ceramic
floor tile installed per local building code is
considered a durable equivalent.
