Because access to the areas behind the side plates 
and lower fireback is possible through the three clean-
out access covers, it usually will not be necessary to 
remove any other interior parts.  Contact your local 
Vermont Castings Authorized Dealer for instructions if it 
is necessary to remove the remaining interior parts.
Re-install the interior parts in this order:
• Low Grates
• High Grates
• Ash Fettle
• Front Grille

The Vigilant glass system is designed so that during 
normal stove operation you may enjoy the view of the 
fire for extended periods without cleaning the glass.  
How-ever, the ash residue which accumulates on the 
glass surface should be removed regularly to prevent 
etching.  To clean the glass, follow this procedure:

• 

Let the stove and glass cool completely.  

• 

Wash the glass with warm water, and a soft paper 
towel or rag.  

• 

Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Never use abrasives, ashes or harsh chemicals to 
clean your Vigilant Coal Stove glass doors.
For stubborn deposits use a ceramic glass cleaner 
available from your local Vermont Castings Authorized 
Dealer.  Do not allow the cleaner to touch any brass 
ornamentation or porcelain finish on the stove.

The ceramic glass used in your Vigilant is specially 
designed to withstand high temperatures.  Although it is 
very durable, handle it carefully.  It may chip if dropped 
against a hard surface, if struck with a hard object, or if 
the doors are carelessly slammed shut.
If it should be necessary to replace the glass, use only 
high temperature ceramic glass supplied by Vermont 
Castings.  Do not use substitutes.
Do not operate your stove if glass panes installed in the 
doors are broken.
To remove or replace the glass, follow this procedure:
1.  Place the door, interior side up, on a level work sur-
face.
2.  Remove the two retainer clips.  Carefully remove the 
old glass.
3.  Examine the gasketing.  Worn gasketing should be 
replaced.  Remove the old gasketing.  Cut new gasket-
ing to fit around the sides and top of the window open-
ing.  Secure the new gasketing in place with a thin bead 
of gasket cement.

4.  Position the two retainer clips on the door with open-
ings in the retainer lining up with the screw holes in the 
door.  A round hole in the retainer will line up with the 
upper screw hole in the door.  A slot in the retainer will 
line up with the lower screw hole in the door.  The sec-
tion of the retainer which is at an angle with the main 
section should point downward toward the glass.
5.  Reinstall the retainer screws; do not overtighten.

Remove the Old Thermostat Assembly
1.  Disconnect the ball chain from the air intake shutter. 

You may need to grip the chain with pliers.

2.  Remove the screw that holds the sheet metal or cast 

iron thermostat cover in place, and take the cover 
off. You may need to bend the thermostat lever away 
from the stove to remove the cover.

3.  Unscrew the thermostat lever from the back of the 

stove. Save the small compression spring for use 
with the new lever.

Install the New Thermostat Assembly
1.  Put the compression spring on the threaded shaft of 

the new lever. Start screwing the lever into the back 
of the stove, being careful to avoid cross-threading. 
The lever should turn easily. If it does not, back the 
lever out and start over. A drop of light machine oil 
on the threads may help.

2.  Keep turning the lever until you feel resistance 

caused by the spring being compressed. Turn the 
lever one more revolution.

3.  Replace the thermostat cover.
4.  Bend the thermostat lever into position. The thermo-

stat lever may need to be bent slightly toward the 
stove to be easily accessible. (Fig. 28)
