Assembly - Vermont Castings Intrepid II 1990 Installation & Operating Manual

Clean the Griddle Before Use
At the factory the griddle is coated 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 any loose parts from inside the stove. Place a
protective pad on the floor, arrange some sections of 4 x 4
lumber on the pad for support, and carefully tip the stove
onto them, on its back.
Remove and discard the four large slot-head screws from the
stove bottom (Figure 13) and install the stove legs, using the
hex head bolts from the parts bag. Use 3/8" washers with
three of the legs; the door/damper handle holder installs in
place of a washer on the right front leg. Position the holder
so the hole to accept the handle nub faces out from the right
side of the stove. Tighten the bolts firmly.

Install the Bottom Heat Shield
A bottom heat shield must be used unless the stove is to
be situated on a completely noncombustible hearth, such
as unpainted concrete over earth. To install the bottom heat
shield, loosen the leg bolts, and slip the bottom heat shield
C-clips onto the bolts. Attach the bottom heat shield to the
C-clips with the wing nuts, and tighten the leg bolts. Align the
shield as shown in Figure 14.

Storing the Handle
Use the removable handle to open or close the front doors, or
to change the position of the damper. After using it, remove it
so it won't get hot, and store it in the handle holder installed
behind the right front leg. (Figure 15)

Reversing the Flue Collar
You can reverse the flue collar by removing the two screws
that attach the collar to the back of the stove. (Figure 16) Be
sure the gasket around the flue collar opening is in position
