Unpacking and preparing your stove for installation.

that it is not damaged in any way. Never attempt to use a stove that has been damaged.

aspect of stove installation, please contact your dealer and he will discuss installation with you or
put you in touch with an experienced stove installer.
3. Open fire door. Remove and check the following contents.
• 4 stove legs
• Wooden handle and screws
• Ash pan
• Operating tool
• Handle holder
In the unlikely event that something is missing please contact your dealer immediately and we will

4. Gently lay the stove on its back. Remove screws from 4 corners of base and fit one of the legs to
each corner of the stove. Tighten bolt to ensure leg is secure to base of stove. When complete,
gently stand the stove upright.

If the stove is to be installed on a com-
bustible floor, it must be placed on a non-
combustible hearth pad. In the USA, the
floor protector must extend 8” beyond
each side of the flue loading door and 16”
to the front. In Canada, the floor protec-
tor must extend 8“ (200mm) beyond each
side and the back of the appliance and

In a rear vent installation the floor protec-
tion must also extend under the stove-
