Page 4: Installation
Vermont Castings Vigilant Codes and Listings Conforming to local building codes will be an important part of your planning. Local authorities make the final decision on whether or not an installation will be ap- proved. They need to know that your installation is safe and meets local codes. - Page 5 Weak draft situations are characterized by smoking and odor problems in the house, low heat output, and difficulty maintaining a fire, especially at low thermostat settings. The reverse situation, overdraft, is rare, but can be recognized by short burn time, poor response when trying to slow down the fire, or by any part of the stove glowing red.

Generally, a clearance of 2” (50 mm.) is required to all combustible walls and framing ST562 Chimney hazards members; check local codes. 12/14/00 djt F.
- Page 7 Clearances Your stove and chimney connector will radiate energy in all directions when in operation. An important part of planning a safe installation is to be sure combustible materials near your stove do not overheat due to inad- equate clearance. Clearance is the distance between your stove (or chim- ney connector) and nearby walls, ceiling, and floors, as well as other combustible materials.

- Page 13 Horizontal runs of chimney connectors should slope upward 1/4” per foot going from the stove toward the chimney. The recommended maximum length of a horizontal run is 3 feet. The total length of chimney connector should be no longer than 8 feet to prevent the cooling of flue gases.
- Page 14 Vermont Castings Vigilant Securing the Connector to a Prefabricated Chimney Follow the installation instructions of the chimney manufacturer exactly as you install the chimney. The manufacturer of the chimney will supply the accesso- ries to support the chimney, either from the roof of the house or at the ceiling of the room where the stove is installed.

Page 16: Operation
Vermont Castings Vigilant The Vigilant Controls The Thermostat Lever Adjust the thermostat lever to control the heat level. Move the thermostat lever to the left to make the fire burn hotter. Move it to the right for less heat. The thermostat regulates the heat level when the stove is operating by controlling the amount of combustion air entering the stove. - Page 17 3. Continue building up the fire until there is a thick bed of hot embers on the grates. IMPORTANT: Don’t hurry this part of the burn. Inad- equate preheating of the chimney system is the most common cause of poor coal stove performance. NOTE: The cast iron plates in your Vigilant will “sea- son”...
- Page 18 Vermont Castings Vigilant Reloading the Stove Put on a small layer of fresh coal and allow it to catch before clearing the grates of ash. Once the new coal is ignited, shake the grates with full, steady strokes of the shaker handle.

Page 19: Maintenance
The fire must be out and the stove no longer hot before you work on the stove. We suggest you wear gloves and safety goggles when working on your stove. Cleaning Cast Iron An occasional dusting with a dry rag is usually all that is necessary to keep your Vigilant looking new. - Page 20 Vermont Castings Vigilant • Select the appropriate gasket. Your Vermont Cast- ings Authorized Dealer carries a complete line of gaskets. Cut to the recommended length plus a 1” - 2” excess. • Place an unbroken 1/8” bead of gasket cement in the channel or groove.
- Page 21 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.

- Page 23 The Maintenance Guidelines given below will help you develop a schedule that works for you. Once you have developed a maintenance schedule, stick to it. Daily: • Ashes should be removed before the ashes reach the top of the ashpan. Check at least once a day. A build up of ashes under the grates will not only restrict the supply of air going to the fire, but may contribute to overheating the grates, causing them to...
