Unpack the Parts
Remove all loose parts from the firebox and the ash
pan. Check to make sure all the parts are included and
intact. You should have received:
• 1 fully assembled heater body, (with catalytic burner
installed in its chamber below the stove top)
• 4 legs
• 1 ashpan containing:
• 1 replacement Interam gasket, for combustor
• 1 ceramic handle for use on the doors
• 1 brass handle for use on dial dampers
• 1 bag of hardware used for assembly, including
the following:
• To attach legs to stove
(4) 1/4-20 x 1” hex head bolts
(4) 1/4” washers
• For tightening the door latch
(1) 5/32” Allen wrench
• Also
(1) spring which fits inside the square socket in
the iron part of the brass handle and will push the
handle off the stove in case you forget to remove
it after adjusting the dial dampers. This keeps the
handle from getting hot.
The ceramic handle will operate the doors and damper.
The brass handle will operate the dial dampers.
The hardware in your stove is in standard US sizes.
Most bolts are 1/4”-20, with 7/16” heads.
If any parts are missing or damaged, immediately notify
your Seneca dealer for replacements. Do not install
your stove without having all necessary parts or by
using damaged parts.
Assembly
Attach the Legs and Heat Shield
Since you have already received delivery of your
Seneca, you are aware of how heavy it is. To safely
accomplish the setup and installation of the Seneca,
you should have two or more strong assistants to help
move it.
Place the stove on its back on a soft surface such as a
couple of old blankets. Tilt it carefully. Protect sur-
rounding carpet with an old blanket or sheet.
Place a 1/4-20 x 1
¹⁄₄
” bolt through the leg. Position the
leg, and fasten it to the stove with a wrench. Repeat
this step for each of the four legs.
Next, screw the spacers into the bottom of the stove
and fasten the bottom heat shield to the spacers. Now
you can raise the stove onto its legs.
Install Catalytic Probe
• Locate the hole in the top of stove.
• Insert a 1/4” drill bit in the hole and rotate it with
your fingers to clear a path for the probe.
• Insert the probe stem into the stove top and through
the prepared opening.
Install Air Duct for Outside Air
If your installation will include outside air for combus-
tion, follow these directions for attaching the three inch
duct to the stove:
• Locate the 3” outside air port on the left side of the
stove’s back plate (as seen when facing the back of
the stove). Note the hole at the 9:00 o’clock position
on the flange of the air port; a sheet metal screw is
inserted through the hole and into the pipe to
secure the pipe to the stove.
• Insert the crimped end of the 3” duct into the air port
until it makes contact with the stop.
• Mark the pipe through the flange hole with a marker
or pencil.
• Remove the pipe and drill a hole through the
marked spot with a 1/8” bit.
• Insert the pipe back into the air port, line up the
holes in the pipe and flange, and secure the two
together with a #10 sheet metal screw.
