The chimney should have no cracks, loose mortar, other signs of deterioration, or blockage. Repair any defects before using the chimney with your stove.

Clean the Griddle Before Use At the factory we coat the griddle with vegetable oil to prevent rusting while the stove is in transit and storage. Remove the oil with a dry rag or paper towel before you use the stove. Set Up the Stove Remove the griddle, front grate bar, the bottom grate, the side bricks, and the ash pan from inside the stove.
Vermont Castings Intrepid Multi-Fuel Attach the Griddle Handle Install the handle on the griddle. Place the griddle upside down at the edge of a flat surface and assemble the handle as shown. (Fig. 16) With the handle pointing 45° from its final position, tighten the nut as far as possible with pliers.

Vermont Castings Intrepid Multi-Fuel A stove is part of a system, which includes the chimney, the operator, the fuel, and the home. The other parts of the system will affect how well the stove works. When there is a good match between all the parts, the system works well. Wood stove operation depends on natural (unforced) draft.

- so use whatever combination of installation features and operational steps will encourage good draft and minimize creosote production. Because letting the smoke cool off and slow down is one of the keys to creosote production, it makes sense to line a chimney to match the stove’s outlet size, for safety reasons as well as performance.
Vermont Castings Intrepid Multi-Fuel Let the fire in the stove go out and allow the stove to cool completely before beginning any maintenance procedure. Care of the Cast Iron Surface An occasional dusting with a dry rag will keep the painted cast iron of your Intrepid looking new.

The Chimney System Creosote Your Intrepid Multi-fuel is designed to reduce creosote buildup significantly. However, regular chimney inspec- tion and maintenance must still be performed.
