Vermont Casting 1610 사용자 설명서

Let the fire in the stove go out and allow the stove to 
cool completely before beginning any maintenance 
procedure.

An occasional dusting with a dry rag will keep the 
painted cast iron of your Defiant 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 fine-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.

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. 

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. 
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.

Do not operate your stove if the glass in the doors is 
damaged.
If you need to replace the glass, use only the high 
temperature ceramic glass supplied by Vermont Cast-
ings. Do not use substitutes. Be sure to specify left or 
right glass; the panels are not interchangeable, due to a 
heat-reflective coating on the side toward the room.

1.  Remove the right and left door assemblies by rais-

ing 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.

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. Be sure to place the 

glass so that the infrared reflective coating is on the 
exterior side, facing toward the room.

2.  Secure the glass on both doors with the retainer 

clips. Tighten all screws. (Fig. 38)

3.  Replace the doors on the stove.  
4.  Open and close the doors to check that they fit and 

work properly. Adjust as necessary.
