AMAGE
The Stowe is packaged by the manufacturer
to withstand shipment without damage.
However, damage can occur during transit
so take care to inspect for damage when
unpacking and installing the unit. If any
damage or missing parts are detected,
immediately contact your dealer
.
Do not
install or put into service a damaged or
incomplete heater.
The unit should appear to be square and
level. The sheet metal parts should be
smooth and free of bends or dents. The
enameled cast iron should be free of chips or
cracks. If visible or concealed damage is
found, contact your dealer.
Always use great care when handling the
decorative ceramic logs, as they are fragile
and subject to damage and breakage.
To open the firebox, remove the two upper
front screws (located in the grill of the front)
that hold the cast façade onto the unit.
(THESE SCREWS ARE SHIPPED ON
THE UNIT FOR TRANSIT PURPOSES
ONLY AND DO NOT NEED TO BE
REINSTALLED)
Next, open the valve
access door, by pulling the ash lip down and
allowing the door to swing away. Grasp the
handle of the latch, located in the center of
the opening, and pull forward, being careful
not to drop the front as the latch is
unfastened. Be careful not to chip the
enamel when unlatching the front. To open
the firebox, reach over the firebox, and
under the front grill. With a flat screwdriver
pry the retaining clips up. There will be two
separate clips. Be careful, when you lift the
last one, as it will free the glass and frame
from the unit. It is important to wear safety
goggles and gloves when handling the log
set. If a damaged log is encountered, contact
your local dealer for a replacement log. Put
the log set aside. It will be installed later.
