ApplePie User Manual

3) Use the jubilee band to tighten the ducting to the
connector.
4) The optional External Air Kit from Ekol also includes a
cowling with built in anti-insect mesh, to be used on the
outside wall. The ducting can be secured to this cowling
with the built-in clips and self-tapping or ‘tek’ screws. It is
crucial that rainwater or any excess moisture must NOT be
allowed to enter the ducting/stove air system.
5) Ensure that the ducting is not damaged nor overly
kinked along its route.
If you ordered your ApplePie with one or both side
warming plates then we will have pre-drilled and tapped
the side of the stove body for you, ready to receive the
plate/s. The xings will be in place already, you will just
need to unscrew them, offer up the side plate and re-attach
the screws with an allen key, taking care not to over-tighten
them.
If you are tting the side plates retrospectively then you
may need to drill the xing holes and tap (thread) them.
First offer up the side support plate to the correct side of
the stove. Line up the plate so that the top is level with the
cast iron top of the stove, and so that each circular hole in
the plate aligns with its cast iron circular ‘lump’.
Without moving the plate, use a sharp piece of chalk, a
scribe or a ‘Sharpie’ type marker pen to mark each of the
four xing holes. Remove the plate.
Using a 5mm new drill bit, carefully drill each hole through
the outer shell of the stove.
Use a tap-handle with M6 (x1) tap to thread each hole.
The side plate is now ready to attach. Do not over-tighten.

To install the optional top rail / guard (often used on boats
to stop pans falling from the stove top), rst remove the
heat-shields on the back of the stove.
Using the allen head cap screw xings provided, attach the
top rail (Figure 2.6)
Replace the rear heat-shields.
In order to connect the ApplePie stove to its optional ped-
estal base, you rst need to disconnect the standard 4x
legs:
Carefully lift the stove door off it’s hinges by gently tapping
the underside of the hinge pins then lifting the door up.
Remove the ashpan, grate, pizza shelf and other loose
items from within the stove. With some help, carefully lift
the stove onto its head (upside down), placing it on a clean
surface.
Remove the 4x nuts which hold the legs in place, but keep
the threaded bars in place.
The pedestal has two thin steel brackets xed to the top.
These are for transport only and can now be removed.
Lift the pedestal upside down on to the bottom of the up-
turned stove, locating it on the 4x threads sticking out from
the stove base.
Align the stove with pedestal and loosely t the bolt threads
with washers and nuts by hand only (Figure 2.7). Check
visually that the pedestal sides, front and back are well
aligned with the stove above.
If necessary, the bolts which hold the panels of the
pedestal can be loosened to allow better alignment
of the pedestal relative to the stove body, then re-
tightened (don’t over-tighten).
Once happy with alignment, the four xing bolts can have
their nuts tightened so that the pedestal and stove are
properly attached.
