Removing the Glass
The left door is slightly different from the right in that
one of its retainer clips is located under the door mani-
fold.
1. Remove the right and left door assemblies by raising
the door until the lower hinge pin clears its drilling;
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.
2. Remove the screws that hold the retainer clips in
place, and remove the clips. On the right door, re-
move the Phillips head machine screw that secures
the door manifold to the upper right of the door (as it
faces you). Swing the door manifold out of your way
and remove the clip beneath it as well.
3. Carefully lift the broken glass panel from the door.
Installing the Glass
Check the gasket around the window; it should be soft
and resilient so the glass will seal properly against the
door. Replace the gasket if it has hardened or if it is
compressed.
1. Center the first pane of glass on the gasket. Be sure
to place the glass so the infrared reflective coating is
on the exterior side.
3. Replace the doors on the stove. Remove the griddle
so you can reach in through the opening to posi-
tion the manifold. Move the door manifold as high
as possible without actually touching the upper air
manifold, and as far toward the center of the stove
as possible without hitting the door manifold on the
other door. Tighten all screws.
4. Open and close the doors to check that the door
manifold does not interfere with either of the other
manifolds. Adjust as necessary.
Check the Operation
of the Primary Air Shutter
The primary air shutter is located at the back of the ash
drop and is visible from the back of the stove. (Fig. 45)
The shutter must open and close freely when you move
the thermostat lever. If it does not, remove any obstruc-
tion. If you need assistance, consult your local Vermont
Castings Authorized Dealer.
Do not change the adjustment of the cable in an at-
tempt to gain increased firing. The air shutter controls
how much air can enter the stove, but chimney draft
is the force that pulls air into the stove. If changing the
thermostat handle position does not lead to changes in
the fireʼs intensity, it is probably due to weak chimney
draft (in the case of a weak fire you canʼt increase) or
an air leak in the stove (in the case of a fire you canʼt
decrease).

2. Secure the glass on both doors with the retainer
clips except the one that belongs under the manifold
of the right door, but leave the screws a little loose.
Position the remaining clip under the right door
manifold, and swing the manifold back into position
on the door. Make sure the screw passing through
the end of the manifold nearest the center of the
door also passes through the retainer clip.
Adjust the Damper as Needed
The tension on the Encoreʼs damper is adjustable to
compensate for compression of the gasket that seals
the damper to the upper fireback. To adjust the damper:
1. Remove the griddle. Loosen the lock nut at the cen-
ter of the damper.
