Before you begin
- Ensure you have sufficient height for the flue system. The Dwarf Cookstove Combo needs more chimney height than the standalone stove. For ideal draft, you need at least 80" from the top of the stove to the chimney opening for a straight roof exit or 120" for a wall exit.
- Your flue system design should allow for the removal of the oven top plate for maintenance. We recommend incorporating a telescoping pipe into your design for ease of access, especially if you are using a roof exit configuration.
- If possible, your hearth should be complete, so that you don't have to move your cookstove once it's assembled. Consult the Dwarf Manual for instructions on your hearth, proper clearances, and heat shields.

You Will Need:
- Utility Knife
- Phillips Screwdriver
- Adjustable Wrench
- Flashlight
- Stove Cement
You May Need:
An assistant to help lift and maneuver your cookstove.
Please note, the model shown in this video differs from the current version Dwarf Cookstove.
Step 1: Prepare your Dwarf 5kW Stove
If your stove is not yet assembled, complete the assembly instructions in the Dwarf Manual through step 5 (installing the air controls) and step 6 (installing the legs or stand). Stand your stove upright and set it in place on the hearth. If it's possible to do so at this point, anchor your stove to the hearth.
If you are adding an oven to an already assembled stove, remove the baffle from the top of the firebox, remove any stovepipe from the stove (if installed) and remove the flue flange from the stove. If the cover plate is installed on the top exit of your stove, remove and reinstall it covering the stove's rear exit.



Step 2: Prepare your Oven
Cut any plastic straps around the oven crate with a utility knife. Remove the Phillips screws in the crate legs. This should release the top and sides of the crate from the base. Lift the top of the crate straight up to remove it. Remove the cardboard box and remaining paper and plastic packaging. Open the oven door and remove the contents including the wire rack, oval to round adapter, gasket rope, oval flue flange, and hardware. Close and latch the door.
Place the oval flue flange on top of the oven's oval flue outlet. Use the two provided bolts and washers to secure the flue flange to the top of the oven.
Carefully tip the oven and set it on its back. Locate the included gasket rope and remove the tape to expose the adhesive. Install the gasket on the leading edge of the flange on the underside of the oven, taking care not to stretch the gasket. Trim off any excess gasket with a utility knife.












Step 3: Install your Oven
With help, lift the oven above the top of your Dwarf 5kW stove, line up the oven's flange with the stove's flue outlet, and set it straight down in place. Take care not to damage the gasket by sliding the oven across the top of the stove.
From inside of the stove's firebox, spin the mounting ring inside of the oven flange to line it up with the three mounting tabs on the top of the stove. Using the three included bolts and washers, secure the oven's mounting ring to the stove's mounting tabs.
Apply a thin layer of stove cement to the inside of your oven's oval flue flange, and the outside of the male oval end of your oval-to-round adapter. Insert the adapter into the flange and ensure the pipe is straight.
If this is a new installation, resume the Dwarf Stove assembly at Step 8 of the Dwarf Manual. If you are retrofitting the oven to an existing installation, reinstall the baffle in your stove and reconnect your flue system to the top of the oval-to-round adapter.
