Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I find the manual for my old Vermont Castings stove?

Find your model on this page. Each one links to the owner's manual, installation manual, or brochure we found. The model name and serial number are on the stove's rating label, and some links go to archived copies or third-party sites rather than the manufacturer.

Are parts still available for discontinued Vermont Castings models?

Often, yes. Hearth & Home Technologies still supports Vermont Castings, and Forge & Flame dealers order parts by model and serial number. Parts for the oldest models can be hard to find, so ask a dealer before you plan a repair.

What replaced my discontinued Vermont Castings?

Where we know it, each entry lists the model that replaced it. Most current Vermont Castings engineering is sold under the Forge & Flame name.
