Vermont Castings Madison

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 Madison 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 Vermont Castings 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
accumulates 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 Vermont Castings glass
panels. The glass panel rests on a cushion provided by
a gasket, and is held in place by two clips.  The glass
is coated on one side which is slightly colored.
Remove the door from the stove and place it on a
sturdy, level work surface. Use a towel to protect the
porcelain enamel finish.

1. Remove the Retainer Clips. (Two phillips head

screws on each clip).

2. Inspect the Gasket. If the window gasket is in good

condition, you can leave it in place. If you replace it,
use only Vermont Castings gasket 1203556. Be sure
the channel around the window opening is clean,
and free of dust.
Place the gasket into the panel inset.

3. Install the Glass. Lay the glass on the inner gasket

with the coated side down, marked “This Side Out”
(toward the outside of the door). Tighten the screws
snugly, but loose enough to allow for a little move-
ment 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.

Gasket Replacement

Your Madison uses rope-type fiberglass gaskets to
make a tight seal between some parts.  With use,
particularly on those parts that move, gaskets can
become brittle and compressed and can begin to lose
their effectiveness.  These will need periodic
replacement.

The sizes of replaceable gasket are listed below,

along with their applications.

Gasket Size

 3/8” Fiberglass

Door Gasket - 1203589

Wait until the fire is out and the stove has cooled.

Be sure to follow the standard safety procedure for
working with dusty materials:  Wear safety goggles and
a dust mask.
Step 1.  Remove the existing gasket by grasping an
end and pulling firmly.

Step 2.  Use a wire brush or a screwdriver to clean the
channel of any remaining cement or bits of gasket.
Remove stubborn deposits of cement with a cold chisel
if necessary.

Step 3.  Determine the correct length of the appropri-
ate-sized gasket by laying it out in the channel.   Allow
an extra  1-2" (25-50 mm), and mark the spot to be cut.

Step 4.  Remove the gasket from the channel, place it
on a wood cutting surface, and cut it at the marked
spot with a utility knife.

Twist the ends slightly to discourage the gasket from
unraveling.

Step 5.  Lay an unbroken 1/8" (3 mm) bead of gasket
cement in the newly-cleaned channel.

Step 6.  Starting at one end, press the gasket into the
channel.

Ensure a good joint where the gasket meets before
trimming any excess.  Do not overlap the gasket ends
or leave ends with ragged edges.

Step 7.  Press the gasketed part firmly against its
normal mating surface to seat the gasket evenly in its
channel.  Close and latch the door to do this; close the
door on a piece of waxed paper to keep the cement
from migrating onto the non-gasketed part, or mask
other parts

Step 8.  Clean excess cement from around the chan-
nel. Let the cement that holds the new gasket dry
thoroughly.
