Hi all,
I just got my VistaFlame VF100FS installed yesterday by the local dealer. I remember reading on here somewhere about manufacturing problems with a variety of brands of stoves for some period of years. The manufacture date on my stove is November 2008.
Does this fall into the suspect time period?
What were some of the production problems associated with that time period?
I noticed that the pedestal seems to be "twisted" in relation to the upper part of the stove, and the ash pan doesn't seem to sit correctly. Also, there seems to be some interference with the door release handle, and the door needs to be manually lifted to get it to seat properly when closing. I'm wondering if perhaps it was damaged in shipment, or if the pedestal can be "un-twisted" to alleviate the interferences?
Please let me know your thoughts on these items.
Thanks...
