Unpacking the Shell
The Stardance shell is comprised of three cast iron
plates plus the front with operable doors. The top plate
for the top vent models is a single piece. The top plate
for the rear vent models has three (3) pieces, the plate,

Assembly Instructions
1. Attach the rear skirt to the left side by aligning the
key holes with the two wingbolts in the side. If nec-
essary, turn the wingbolts to orient the blades verti-
cally. (Fig. 3) Slide the skirt downward to engage it
behind two washers on the side plate bolts and then
tighten both wingbolts.
CAUTION: Handle porcelain enamel castings gen-
tly. The finish is fragile and can be easily dam-
aged. Place castings on a towel, carpet or other
protective surface.

spacers on the bottom to prevent any damage to

removed after installation. Use a 7/16” wrench.
