Maintenance
Keep Your Stove Looking New
and Working Its Best
Let the fi re in the stove go out and allow the stove to cool
completely before beginning any maintenance proce-
dure.
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. It is normal
for the griddle to darken after use. You can clean it with a
fi ne-bristle wire brush, or steel wool.
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 diffi cult jobs that require a cleaning agent, use
only a kitchen appliance cleaner or polish recommended
for use on enamel surfaces.
If porcelain enamel becomes chipped or scratched during
use, apply “enamel epoxy” to the damaged area and allow
to dry. Once the epoxy has dried, sand the area to blend
with surrounding area and apply appropriate color touch-up
paint. Allow to dry completely before operating stove.
Cleaning the Glass
Most of the carbon deposits on the glass will burn off dur-
ing hot fi res.
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 especially
for this purpose. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Use
cleaning agents sparingly and be sure to keep them off
the outer surfaces of the stove.
•
Rinse the glass thoroughly.
•
Dry the glass completely.
Replace Broken Glass Immediately
Do not operate your stove if the glass in the doors is dam-
aged.
If you need to replace the glass, use only the high tempera-
ture 5 mm ceramic glass supplied by Vermont Castings.
Do not use substitutes.
Removing the Glass
1. Remove the right and left door assemblies by raising
the door until the lower hinge pin clears its hole; 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. Be especially careful with
enamelled doors.
2. Remove the screws that hold the glass retainer clips in
place, and remove the clips.
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 that the glass will seal properly against
the door. Replace the gasket if it has hardened or if it is
compressed.
1. Center the glass on the gasket.
2. Secure the glass on both doors with the retainer clips.
Tighten all screws. (Fig. 31)
3. Replace the doors on the stove.
4. Open and close the doors to check that they fi t and work
properly. Adjust as necessary.
