Congratulations on your choice of a Vermont Castings Encore® Model 2040-CAT-C Wood Burning Stove. At Vermont Castings
we take American craftsmanship seriously. We assure you that your cast-iron Vermont Castings stove has been made with
the utmost care and will provide you with many years of service.
As you become acquainted with your new stove, you will find that its appearance is matched by its functionality, due to cast
iron’s unique ability to absorb and radiate heat.
Also, Vermont Castings products are among the cleanest-burning wood stoves available today. However, clean burning
depends on both the manufacturer and the operator. Please read this manual carefully to understand how to properly operate
and maintain your stove.
At Vermont Castings, we are committed to your satisfaction as a customer. That is why we maintain an exclusive network of
the finest dealers in the industry. Our dealers are chosen for their expertise and dedication to customer service. Feel free to
contact your Authorized Vermont Castings Dealer anytime you have a particular question about your stove or its performance.
This manual contains valuable instructions on the operation of your Vermont Castings Encore® Model 2040-CAT-C Wood
Burning Stove. It also contains useful information on maintenance. Please read the manual thoroughly and keep it as a
reference.
Note: Cast iron is an artisan crafted material, which is made the same way today as nearly 2000 years ago. Due to
the intrinsic primitive nature of the casting process, part to part variation is normal and adds to the character of a
hand built cast iron appliance.
This heater meets the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency’s emission limits for wood heaters sold on or after
May 15, 2020.
Please read this entire manual before you operate your new
stove. Failure to follow instructions may result in property
damage, bodily injury, or even death.

Fuels used in gas, wood
burning or oil fired appliances, and the products of
