Intrepid II Woodburning Stove

Maintenance

Let the fire in the stove go out and allow the stove to cool completely before beginning any maintenance procedure.

Care of the Cast Iron Surface

An occasional dusting with a dry rag will keep the painted cast iron of your Intrepid looking new.

The stove’s paint can be touched up as needed. First, clean the areas to be painted with a wire brush. Then, touch up the stove with high temperature stove paint.

Apply the paint sparingly, and keep in mind that two light coats of paint are better than a single heavy one.

Care of Porcelain Enamel Finish

Use a dry or slightly damp rag or a soft brush to remove spills or stains. For difficult jobs that require a cleaning agent, use only a kitchen appliance cleaner or polish recommended for use on enamel surfaces.

Cleaning the Glass

Most of the carbon deposits on the glass will burn off during hot fires. However, the ash residue that accumu- lates on the glass surface should be removed regularly to prevent etching. Follow this procedure to clean the glass:

•Be sure the glass is completely cool.

•Clean the glass with water or a cleaner made especially for this purpose. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

•Rinse the glass thoroughly.

•Dry the glass completely.

Glass Replacement

Replace glass only with Part no. 140-1156 right side and 140-1157 left side glass panels. The glass panel rests on a cushion provided by a rope gasket part no 1203556, and is held in place by clips. (Fig. 28) The glass is IR coated on one side which is marked “THIS SIDE OUT”.

1.Remove the door from the stove and place it on a sturdy, level work surface. Use a towel to protect the porcelain enamel finish.

2.Remove the retainer clips. (Two phillips head screws on each clip.)

3.Inspect the gasket. If the window gasket is in good condition, you can leave it in place. If you replace it, use only Part No. 1203556. Be sure the channel around the window opening is clean, and free of dust.

4.Install the glass. Lay the glass on the inner gasket with the coated side down (toward the outside of the door). Tighten the screws snugly, but loose enough to allow for a little movement of the glass when the stove is in operation. Overtightening can crack the glass immediately or cause it to crack if it is unable to expand when hot.

Check the Operation of the

Primary Air Shutter

The primary air shutter is visible from the back of the stove. The shutter must open and close freely when you move the thermostat lever. If it does not, check for any obstruction, or for a bound or stretched chain need- ing adjustment. (Fig. 29)

On a cold stove the shutter should be open no more than 1/8” (3mm) when the primary air control lever is pushed completely to the left (closed), as seen from the back of the stove. When the lever is pushed completely to the right (open), the shutter should be open to an angle of approximately 70° from the stove back.

The ball chain should measure 216 mm (8¹⁄₂”) from connection to the thermostat coil to connection on the primary air flap.

If setting is incorrect, the thermostat coil may be bent or broken. Call your Vermont Castings Dealer for assis- tance.
