SAFETY NOTICE:  IF YOUR STOVE IS NOT PROP-
ERLY INSTALLED,  A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT.  
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, FOLLOW THE 
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.  CONTACT LOCAL 
BUILDING OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT RESTRIC-
TIONS AND INSTALLATION INSPECTION REQUIRE-
MENTS IN YOUR AREA.
Before you begin an installation, review your plans to 
see that:
•  Your stove and chimney connector will be far 

enough from combustible material to meet all clear-
ance requirements.

•  The floor protector is large enough and is construct-

ed properly to meet all requirements.

•  You have all necessary permits from local authori-

ties.

Your local building official is the final authority for ap-
proving your installation as safe and determining that it 
meets local and state codes.
The metal label permanently attached to the back of 
every Vermont Castings stove indicates that the stove 
has been tested to current standards. The test stan-
dard EN13240:2001 + A2:2004 for Europe. Clearance 
and installation information also is printed on the label.  
When the stove is installed according to the information 
both on the label and in this manual, local authorities 
in most cases will accept the label as evidence that the 
installation meets codes and can be approved.
However, codes vary in different countries.  Before 
starting the installation, review your plans with the local 
building authority.  You local dealer can provide any ad-
ditional information needed.
IMPORTANT:  Failure to follow these installation 
instructions may result in a dangerous situation, in-
cluding a chimney or house fire.  Follow all instruc-
tions exactly, and do not allow makeshift compro-
mises to endanger property and personal safety.

In some modern, super-insulated homes, there is not 
enough air for combustion because of insufficient air 
infiltration into the building. Such air enters a home 
through unsealed cracks and openings. Kitchen or bath 
exhaust fans can compete with the stove for available 
air and compound the problem.

When poor draft is caused by a low infiltration rate, 
opening a ground floor window on the windward side 
of the house and in the vicinity of the stove will usually 
alleviate the problem.
Another solution is to install a permanent outside air 
supply to the stove and/or room.  In some areas, in 
fact, bringing air for combustion from outside the home 
directly to the air inlet of the stove is required for new 
construction.  
An outside air supply is not affected by pressure varia-
tions within the house, and improved stove perfor-
mance often results.  An Outside Air Adapter Kit #33258 
for the Intrepid II is available from your local Vermont 
Castings dealer.

Your Intrepid Multi-fuel must be connected to a code-
approved masonry chimney with a flue liner, to a relined 
masonry chimney that meets local codes, or to a pre-
fabricated metal chimney.  Whatever kind you use, the 
chimney and chimney connector must be in good condi-
tion and kept clean. Figure 2 shows the two chimney 
types.

If you use an existing masonry chimney, it must be 
inspected to ensure safe condition before the stove 
is installed.  Your local professional chimney sweep, 
building inspector, or fire department official will be able 
to inspect the chimney or provide a referral to someone 
who can.
The flue and chimney design must meet requirement 
J2, Part J of the building regulations 2000 (Combustion 
Appliances and Fuel Storage Systems).
