Assembly - Vermont Castings Encore Flexburn 2040 Homeowner's Installation And Operating Manual

Set Up your Stove
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 pos-
sible with the pliers.
Move the handle to its
final position while still
holding the nut with
the pliers.

The stove is shipped with the legs attached. In some in-
stances, the legs may have been removed. Follow these
instructions to reattach the legs. Install the stove legs (Fig.
20) using the hex head bolts from the parts bag. Use 3/8"
washers with all four legs; the door handle holder installs
on the right front leg. Position the holder so the hole to
accept the handle hub faces out from the right side of the
stove. Tighten the bolts firmly.
caUTioN: Overtightening can strip tapped threads.
NoTe: When moving the stove, lift the stove to take weight
off the legs whenever possible. Dragging or sliding the
stove, especially across rough surfaces can cause the legs
to loosen or even break.
