Appliance Set-Up
Figure 5.1
A. Unpacking
The P43 is bolted (1/4 x 1" hex head bolts) to the skid to
prevent movement during shipping.
To free the stove from the skid you must remove the hold-
down bolts in the rear of the pedestal base using a 7/16”
socket or wrench. Figure 5.1.
B. Removing Rear Cover Panels
The rear cover panels are secured to the stove with three
screws each. Two of the screws need only be loosened, not
removed, to remove the panels. It is recommended that the
rear covers are installed using a 5/16” socket, wrench or nut
driver after the unit is in place and the vent pipe is installed,
to prevent contact with hot or moving parts.
C. Firebrick
Install the single (1) firebrick horizontally on the angle bracket
above the burnpot. Figure 5.2.
D. Flame Guide
Install the cast iron flame guide on top of the burn pot. Make
sure that the flame guide is fully seated on the vertical sides
of the burn pot and that the back of the guide rests against
the body of the stove. Figure 5.3.
