16. The door to the Morgan is reversible. It can be opened from the left hand side, or the right. It will be
shipped from Hearthstone opening on the left hand side. To switch the door to open from the right, simply
remove the ash lip assembly and front facade.
a) Remove the ash lip assembly by loosening (NOT REMOVING) the forward Phillips head screw on
both sides of the assembly. Pull the ash lip 3 or 4 inches away from the unit and disconnect the
wires from the snap disc. Ensure you do not damage the blower (or its wiring) which is pre-
installed under the ash lip.
b) Remove the front façade by lifting and pulling away from the unit.
c) Remove the two Phillips head screws holding the door hinges on (use caution, once the last
screw is removed the door will be loose in your hands) be careful not to lose the two hinge
rivets. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, remove the door catch (There may be a spacer washer
behind the catch to provide an adequate seal. Remove the two screws where the hinges will go
on the left side. Rotate the door 180 degrees, put the hinges in place and mount them. Reattach
the door catch on the opposite side of the front, using the same screws and spacer washers if
necessary.
17. Replace the front façade by simply lifting it over the opened door and ash lip and setting it back in
place.
18. Replace the ash lip assembly. NOTE: Prior to replacing the ash
lip assembly, you must first ensure that the air control handle is
centered in its motion and that the blower’s snap disc wires are
reconnected. Lift and slide the assembly back on to the ash lip
clamping screws. Take care to avoid damaging the blower and its
wiring (ensure the blower’s power cord passes through the notch in the
ash lip casting). The ash lip is on when the back is tight to the front
façade. Once on, tighten the ash lip clamping screws.
