Unpacking and Inspection 

 

 

Hearthstone  packages  your  Champlain    to  withstand 
normal  shipment  without  damage. However,  damage 
can still occur during transit. Take care to inspect for 
damage when unpacking and installing the unit.    

 

DO  NOT  INSTALL,  OR  PUT  INTO  SERVICE,  A 
DAMAGED OR INCOMPLETE HEATER.

   

Remove  the  shrink-wrap  and  other  packaging 
materials taking care not to damage the stove’s finish. 
Inspect  the  Champlain  for  visible  or  concealed 
damage.  The  unit  should  be  square  and  true.  The 

sheet  metal  parts  should  be  smooth  and  free  of 
bends  and  dents.  Any  enameled  cast  iron  should  be 
free of chips or cracks. If visible or concealed damage 
is  found  or  suspected,  contact  your  dealer  for 
instructions. 

Always use gloves and eye protection when handling 
the decorative ceramic fire logs and burner. Use care 
when  handling  these  parts  as  they  are  fragile  and 
subject to damage and breakage if handled roughly.  
See  the  firebox  access  instructions  on  page  9. 
Unpack and inspect the logs for damage. Inspect the 
metal  burner  as  well.  Open  the  other  boxes  and 
inspect  the  components.  If  log,  burner  or  any  other 
component  damage  is  encountered,  contact  your 
dealer for a replacement. Otherwise, set the logs and 
other  components  aside  until  called  for  during  the 
installation.

 

 

Dismounting from Pallet 

With  the  accessory  boxes  removed  and  set  aside, 
remove the four lag screws that fasten the unit to the 
pallet. Take care not 

to mar or chip the stove’s finish.  

Have someone help lift the stove off the pallet, taking 
care  to  avoid  damaging  components  mounted  under 
the stove.
