2. Lay body of stove on its back on a protective pad or pallet.

3. Remove the 2 nuts and 2 bolts holding the channel in place and set the channel aside. Discard the 2 nuts.

Install the gasket over the 8 protruding screws.

The glossy side of the gasket needs to go against the firebox bottom.

It is important the gasket is not put on upside down as it could compromise its sealing capabilities.

Figure 21.2.

4. Install ash door assembly by sliding the rod at an angle into the slot on the left side. As the rod starts passing through the slot, slide the handle over the rod and then finish pushing the rod through the slot.

Slide the ash door over the 8 screws protruding from the bottom of the stove. Secure with nuts and washers provided.
