Maintenance

Below you will find important information on general care, inspection and maintenance of your Vermont Castings stove. Should it become necessary, use only replacement parts recommended by your authorized

dealer

Keep Your Stove Looking New

and Working Its Best

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 Encore looking new.

The stove’s paint can be touched up as needed. First, mask the areas, such as enamelled parts, glass, or handles, around the spot to be painted.Clean the spot with a wire brush. Remove the griddle and set it aside.

Then, touch up the stove with Vermont Castings’ high temperature stove paint. Apply the paint sparingly; two light coats of paint are better than a single heavy one.

Care of the Porcelain Enamel Surface

Use a dry or slightly damp rag or 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 accumulates on the glass surface should be removed regularly to prevent etching. To clean the glass, follow this procedure:

Be sure the glass is completely cool.

Clean the glass with water or a cleaner made espe- cially for this purpose. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Rinse the glass thoroughly.

Dry the glass completely.

Replace Broken Glass Immediately

Do not operate your stove if the glass in the doors is damaged.

If you need to replace the glass, use only the high tem- perature ceramic glass supplied by Vermont Castings. Do not use substitutes. Be sure to specify left or right glass; the panels are not interchangeable.

Removing the Glass

The left door is slightly different from the right in that one of its retainer clips is located under the door mani- fold.

1.Remove the right and left door assemblies by raising the door until the lower hinge pin clears its drilling; then, angle the door bottom slightly outward and pull down to release the upper hinge pin. Place the doors face down on a padded work surface.

2.Remove the screws that hold the retainer clips in place, and remove the clips. On the right door, re- move the Phillips head machine screw that secures the door manifold to the upper right of the door (as it faces you). Swing the door manifold out of your way and remove the clip beneath it as well.

3.Carefully lift the broken glass panel from the door.

Installing the Glass

Check the gasket around the window; it should be soft and resilient so the glass will seal properly against the door. Replace the gasket if it has hardened or if it is compressed.

1.Center the first pane of glass on the gasket. Be sure to place the glass so the infrared reflective coating is on the exterior side.

2.Secure the glass on both doors with the retainer clips except the one that belongs under the manifold of the right door, but leave the screws a little loose.

Position the remaining clip under the right door manifold, and swing the manifold back into position on the door. Make sure the screw passing through the end of the manifold nearest the center of the door also passes through the retainer clip.
