Encore Multi-Fuel Heater

Set Up Your Stove
Cast iron stoves are heavy, and it will take two to four
people to move your Encore MF into position.
Wash the protective coating of oil from the griddle with
soap and water. Dry the griddle thoroughly and apply a
light coating of vegetable oil to season the surface and
help prevent rust.
Remove all packing materials from inside the stove.
Install the Optional Bottom Heat Shield
1. Remove the four 10-24 x 1/2” hex head bolts from
the corners of the ash drop on the stove bottom.
2. Screw the four 32 mm (1
¹⁄₄") spacers into the holes
from which you removed the bolts, finger-tight.
3. Align the bottom heat shield against the spacers with
the stepped side toward the rear of the stove.
4. Secure the shield with the four hex head bolts previ
-
ously removed from the stove bottom.
5. Tighten securely.
Assembly
Adjust the Leg Levellers
Lift the stove slightly so there is no weight on the leg
while making the adjustment.
Reverse the Flue Collar (If Necessary)
Reverse the flue collar by removing the two screws that
attach it to the back of the stove. Be sure the gasket
around the flue collar opening is in position when you
screw the collar back onto the stove.
Install the Ash Door Heat Shield
1. Remove the two Phillips pan head screws from the
ash door.
2. Insert the screws through the ash door heat shield
(from the painted side), place the 8 mm (5/16”)
spacers over the screws, and carefully thread them
back into the original holes. The curved lip should be
upward, under the ashlip of the stove.
3. Tighten securely.
Attach the Primary Air Thermostat Handle
The primary air thermostat handle is the smaller of the
two black handles. Secure the handle to the stub on
the right side of the stove with an 8-32 x 2” slot head
machine screw.
Attach the Damper Handle
Use the 1/4” -20 x 3” screw to attach the damper handle
to the damper stub on the left side.
Assemble the Removable Insert Handle
The white removable
insert handle opens
and closes the front
doors. Remove after
each use so it won’t
get hot, and store it in
the handle holder in-
stalled behind the right
front leg. Assemble
the handle by pass-
ing the 86 mm (3³⁄₈")
screw through the
ceramic shaft and into
the bright metal nub. Tighten carefully until snug.
