ASSEMBLY 

UNPACKING AND PLACING THE GABO 

By now, you will have removed the shipping carton from the base pallet.  The GABO is shipped in a spe-

cially designed shipping carton  Cut the strapping that secures the stove to the pallet and remove the 

wooden cribbing from the top of the stove.  Remove the plastic bag that covers the stove.  Remove the 

package of logs and accessories that is packed in the space under the stove and set aside.  Lift the stove up 

and off the pallet.  The best place to lift is at the base of firebox.  Note:  The stove front and the glass 

frame/glass assembly have to be removed in order to install the logs.  Removing them now will reduce the 

weight and make it easier to lift the stove.  Remove transit packing material from between the stove front 

and the louver and then remove the stove front by lifting it straight up to disengage the keyhole slots from 

the pins that secure it to the sides.  Once it is disengaged, you can move the front away from the stove body.  

Set the front aside with the back side down to protect the outer surface. 
With the stove front removed and set aside, remove the glass panel and frame assembly.  The latches are 

located at the top of the door frame.  Lift the latch handles up and disengage the latch rods from the slots in 

the glass frame.  Lift the glass and frame assembly up and off the stove and set aside in a safe place.  Re-

move any packing material from inside the firebox.  See the two illustrations below. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The GABO is equipped with leveling bolts to make it easier to install 

the stove on an irregular surface.  The leveling bolts are shipped in the 

accessory box that was packed in the space under the firebox. Once you have unpacked the leveling bolts, 

install them in the base plate of the stove.  This will require a helper as the stove must be tipped up on the 

base, first to one side and then the other to allow the leveling bolts to be screwed in from the bottom.  For 

right now, be sure all four leveling bolts are screwed in all the way.  They can be adjusted later.  See the 

illustration below for leveling bolt locations. 
Move the GABO to location where it will be installed.  Using as little adjustment as possible for each level-

ing bolt, adjust them as needed to get the stove as level as possible 

both side to side and front to back.   
Once the GABO is in its final location, remove the 

transit tape 

from the relief door.  The relief door can be identified by the five 

vertical ribs on its top surface and is located directly adjacent to the 

glass frame latches on the top of the firebox.  This tape must be re-

moved to insure proper operation of the relief door. 
Also, remove the tie wrap that secures the control access panel dur-

ing shipping.  It is located on the right side of the panel and can be 

cut with a knife or scissors. 
The GABO Gas Stove is shipped from the factory equipped to burn 

natural gas.  If you will be burning propane (LP) gas you must con-

vert the stove by replacing the burner orifice and valve regulator and 

adjusting the pilot fuel selector plate and primary burner air setting.  

This should be done before the stove is set up.  

Follow the instruc-

tions on pages 23 & 24.
