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 area to be painted. Clean the area 
with a wire brush to remove any loose paint or dust. 
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.

.  Secure the glass on both doors with the retainer 

clips, but leave the screws a little loose.

3.  Gradually tighten all the screws by hand a little at 

a time in order to apply even pressure to the glass 
panel.

adjust the damper as Needed

The tension on the Encore’s damper is adjustable to 
compensate for compression of the gasket that seals 
the damper to the upper fireback. To adjust the damper:
1.  Remove the griddle. Loosen the lock nut at the cen-

ter of the damper.

.  Turn the pressure screw approximately one half turn 

clockwise.

removing the glass

    

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.

.  Remove the screws that hold the 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 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.
