Before starting the procedure, be sure the stove is cold.
Clean all ashes from the ash dump and the combustion
chamber. Use the empty ash pan as a storage spot for
hardware, tools and small parts. Work in a clean, well-
lighted area. Protect your work area with tarps or drop
cloths. If possible, remove the stove to a utility area,
take off the legs and raise the stove to a secure elevated
surface.
CAUTION: Wear gloves, a dust mask and
protective eyewear when servicing a stove.
Disassembly
1. Remove the doors, andirons and the bottom grate. The
tab on the rear grate wedges the shoe in place so it will
be tight. Begin by prying the front of the grate up with a
screw driver. Carefully slide the refractory shoe out of
the unit being careful not to damage the gasket on the
bottom (Fig. 1).

3. For the Deant only, remove the ue collar by backing
out the two Phillips round head machine screws.
4. Remove the top. For the Deant only, carefully pull
back the adhesive gasket for the ue collar located on
the back of the top of the stove and let it hang down the
back. The top is held in place by two hex head bolts in
the rear left and right corners of the top (Fig.3) and by
one socket at head screw in the outside center of the
top near the griddle opening. (Fig. 4)

5. Remove the rear shroud held by two Phillips round
head machine screw in the center and four sheet metal
screws - two on each side. This allows access to the six
hex head nuts and washers holding the damper housing
assembly and the reback retainers.
6. Remove the damper housing assembly. First remove
the damper handle with the Allen key supplied with the
unit (Fig. 5). Locate and remove the four hex head
through bolts, two per side on the outside of the inner
back, that hold the upper reback in place (Fig. 6). The
nuts and washers are on the outside of the back. This
may require the use of two 7/16” wrenches. Gently
rotate the damper housing down right side rst and
maneuver out of the rebox by sliding left to right to
clear the damper rod from the left side. Please locate
damper rod spacer and remove from the hole in the side
for reinstalling.
7. Remove the Refractory Fireback. Locate the two hex
nuts on the outside of the inner back that hold the refrac-
tory brackets in place (Fig. 7). The nuts and washers
are on the outside of the back. This may require the
use of two 7/16” wrenches. Remove the two hex nuts
with washers and pull out the hex head cap screws
holding the brackets. This may require the use of two
7/16” wrenches. Remove the brackets. Hold the top of
the refractory reback while removing the brackets as
it will fall forward with the brackets removed.

Reassembly
1. Before reassembly, check the following and replace or
repair where necessary:
• gaskets on the back installed on either side for the
reback seal
• back to bottom and side seal (tighten if neces-
sary)
• top gaskets including the ue collar and griddle
seal
2. Install the gasket on the bottom of the new shoe by fol-
lowing the instructions that came with the Shoe Gasket
Kit.
3. Slide the fountain assembly into place.
Important: Position fountain assembly in the center
of the back.
4. Install the reback centered on the back and the foun-
tain with the two (2) reback brackets removed earlier
and two (2) hex head bolts and nuts with four washers
and leave loose. Ensure it is against the gaskets in the
rear sides. Do not fully tighten.
5. Replace the shoe before tightening the reback brack-
ets to ensure the reback and fountain line up properly
to allow the shoe to enter. If not going in, line up the
reback and fountain as close to center as possible.
Once the shoe travels easily all the way to the back,
tighten the brackets. Verify the reback seals against
the rear gaskets.
6. Install the damper hous-
ing assembly. Insert the
damper rod into the left
side of the unit, raise
the right side up, slide
over and attach using
the four hex head bolts,
nuts and eight washers.
Ensure the washer is in
place near the end of
the rod (Fig. 8) to pre-
vent the rod from slid-
ing. Push tight against
the reback and line up
with holes in the back
while tightening to make
a good seal against
the reback. This seal
is critical to the proper
operation of the unit. In-
stall the spacer around
the damper rod on the outside.
7. Install the damper handle using the Allen key supplied
with the stove.
8. Install the right side brick and insulation panel with the
notches to the upper back with the bracket and hex
head cap screw.
10. Position the top in place over the sides, back and front
and insert the two hex head bolts in the rear corners
and one socket at head screw in the front center. Do
not tighten yet. Finger tighten the front center bolt;
then nger one corner bolt; fully tighten the other corner
bolt; then go back to the opposite bolt and center bolt
to fully tighten them down. When installed, the top
should be level. Ensure there is a good seal between
the top edge of the damper housing and the top by
viewing through the ue collar opening. Again, this
seal is critical. Refer to Figure 9 for an example of a
top that is not level.
11. With the Deant only, install the ue collar. Carefully
replace the gasket pulled off the top earlier. If neces-
sary, replace with some of the gasket supplied in the

kit or hold in place with a small amount of furnace
cement.
12. Install the grate with the shoe tab to the back. The t
is tight. CAUTION - Do not damage the shoe. If not
tting down, push hard on the shoe to allow grate to
go all the way down. You may want to insert the rear
rst and pry the front lip of the grate into the stove. This
tab holds the shoe in place (Fig. 10).
