I picked up this circa 1989 Jotul 8 w/ catalyst. I know people don't love this stove, but it was very gently used and I'd like to make it work. It was vented out the top, but I need to vent it out the back. What way does the catalyst unit attach to the back (catalyst facing up or down?). Anything else I should be thinking about while setting up the stove.

Thank you for any info you can provide!

The manual says NOTHING about changing the direction of the cat for horizontal venting, only the flue collar.
That manual is available here:
