Vermont Castings 2550 Guia De Utilização

Cast iron stoves are heavy, and it will take two to four 
people to move your Encore into position.
Wipe the protective 
coating of oil from 
the griddle with a 
clean dry rag or a 
paper towel.  
Install the handle 
on the griddle.  
First, place the 
griddle upside 
down at the edge 
of a flat surface and 
assemble the handle as shown.
With the handle pointing 45° from its final position, 
tighten the nut as far as possible with the pliers. Move 
the handle to its final position while still holding the nut 
with the pliers.

NOTE: The Bottom Heat Shield is required in most in-
stallations. Refer to Floor Protection, Page 9, for further 
details. The bottom heat shield comes with the ash pan 
heat shield.
1.  Remove the four 10-24 x 1/2” hex head bolts from 

the corners of the ash drop on the stove bottom.

2.  Screw the four (4) 1¹⁄₄" spacers into the holes from 

which you removed the bolts, finger-tight. 

3.  Align the bottom heat shield against the spacers with 

the stepped side toward the rear of the stove.

4.  Secure the shield with the four (4) hex head bolts 

removed from the stove bottom previously.

5.  Tighten securely.

Lift the stove slightly so there is no weight on the leg 
while making the adjustment.

Reverse the flue collar by removing the two (2) screws 
that attach it to the back of the stove.  Be sure the gas-
ket around the flue collar opening is in position when 
you screw the collar back onto the stove.

1.  Remove the two (2) Phillips pan head screws from 

the ash door.

2.  Insert the screws through the ash door heat shield 

(from the painted side), place the 5/16” spacers over 
the screws, and carefully thread them back into the 
original holes. The curved lip should be upward, 
under the ashlip of the stove.

3.  Tighten securely.

The primary air thermostat handle is the smaller of the 
two black handles. Secure the handle to the stub on 
the right side of the stove with an  8-32 x 2” slot head 
machine screw.    

Use the 1/4” -20 x 3” screw to attach the damper handle 
to the damper stub on the left side.

The white removable insert handle opens and closes 
the front doors. Remove after each use so it won’t get 
hot. Store it in the handle holder installed behind the 
right front leg. Assemble the handle by passing the 3³⁄₈" 
screw through the ceramic shaft and into the bright 
metal nub. Tighten carefully until snug.
