Installation Instructions

*NOTE: Defiant and Vigilant Owners - These instruc-
tions are for stoves purchased after March 1, 1980. 
Contact your Vermont Castings’ Authorized Dealer to 
obtain the correct instructions and hardware for stoves 
purchased before March 1, 1980.
Bottom heat shields must be used unless the stove is 
to be situated on a completely noncombustible hearth, 
such as unpainted concrete over earth.
Clean all heat shields as needed (or at least annually) 
so they will continue to reflect heat adequately. In  ad-
dition, check all leg bolts annually to be sure they are 
secure. For complete information on floor protection, 
refer to the installation section of your Owner’s Manual.
Tool needed: Open end wrench, 9/16”
Materials Provided: 
Standard Legs
All Stoves: Bottom heat shield (1), C-brackets (4), 1/4-
20 x 1/2” wing screws (4)
Short Legs
Defiant / Vigilant: Bottom heat shields (2), C-brackets 
(4), 1/4-20 x 2” threaded studs (4), 3/8” spacers (4), hex

1.  Remove all accessories from inside the stove; lift off 

the griddle, load door and front doors.

Defiants and Vigilants shipped from the factory have a 

wooden wedge inside the stove to hold the damper 
closed during shipment. Leave this wedge in place 
until after the legs are installed.

2.  With assistance, remove the stove from the pallet 

and place it close to its installed location. If your 
stove has a porcelain enamel finish, use a piece of 
cardboard or a drop cloth to cushion the ash lip and 
top plate.

3.  If the stove is already installed, disconnect the chim-

ney connector.

4.  Tilt the stove into a secure reclining position. It will 

require at least two people to tilt the stove and a 
third to steady it from the front.

For the Defiant, Vigilant and Resolute, tilt the stove 

forward over the ash lip until the top plate rests on 
the floor.

For the Intrepid and Intrepid II, tilt the stove back to rest 

on the pallet or wooden blocks.

One-half inch screws were installed in the leg bolt holes 

to stabilize the stove during shipment. Remove and 
discard them. The appropriate leg bolts are packed 
with the stove legs.

Attach the legs to the stove loosely using one washer 
per leg. They will be tightened firmly later in the instal-
lation.
For all stoves except the Vigilant, use the silver-colored 
3/8” x 1” leg bolts. For Vigilants, use the silver-colored 
3/8” x 1¹⁄₄” bolts.
