How to Adjust the Door Latch
Over time, the gasketing around the doors will com-
press, and the latch may need adjustment. To adjust
the latch, loosen the small locking nut, extend the
striker screw one turn while keeping the striker screw
from turning. (Fig. 27) Keep making adjustments a little
at a time until the setting is right.
The front doors of the stove should close securely and
tightly, when the handle is in the closed position. When
the latch is properly adjusted there should be a slight
resistance as the doors are moved to the completely
closed position.

Damper Adjustment
When the stove damper is closed, the pressure of the
rod against the damper plate assures a good seal be-
tween the damper and the damper housing. Adjustment
may be needed after a period of time to retain adequate
pressure.
To make this adjustment, start with the damper in the
closed and locked position. (Fig. 28) Loosen the 7/16”
locking nut in the center of the damper. Use a 1/8” Allen
wrench to turn the Allen screw a full turn clockwise. Test
the damper for snugness, and continue adjusting the
Allen screw as needed. Tighten the 7/16” locking nut
when the damper operates smoothly but firmly.

Replace the Stove Gaskets as Needed
The Intrepid uses fiberglass rope gaskets to make a
tight seal between some parts. With use, particularly on
those parts that move, gaskets can become brittle and
compressed, and can begin to lose their effectiveness.
These will need periodic replacement.
The sizes of replaceable gasket are listed below, along
with their applications.
Gasket Diameter ...And the Parts it Seals
5/16” wire gasket
The griddle to the stove top
5/16” The damper to the upper fire-
back; the front doors to the stove
front; and the door halves to
each other
3/16” The glass panes to the door
Refer to Page 18 for information on replacing the glass
panels or its gasket.
If you need to change a gasket, first obtain an appropri-
ate replacement from your Vermont Castings Dealer.
Tighten the Damper Handle as Needed
The damper handle is attached to the damper rod
with a set screw bearing against a flat spot on the rod.
Check the set screw periodically for tightness; tighten
as needed.
