Adjust the Leg Levellers
Lift the stove slightly so there is no weight on the leg
while making the adjustment.
R everse the Flue Collar (If Necessary)
Reverse the flue collar by removing the two screws that
attach it to the back of the stove. Be sure the gasket
around the flue collar opening is in position when you
screw the collar back onto the stove.
Attach the Damper Handle
Use the 1/4” -20 x 3” screw to attach the damper
handle to the damper stub on the left side.
Attach the Primary Air Thermostat Handle
The primary air thermostat handle is the smaller of the
two black handles. Secure the handle to the stub on
the right side of the stove with an 8-32 x 2” slot head
machine screw. (Fig. 25)
Assemble the Removable Insert Handle
The ceramic removable insert handle opens and closes
the front doors. Remove after each use, and store it in
the handle holder behind the right front leg. Assemble
the handle by passing the 3³⁄₈" screw through the
ceramic shaft and into the bright metal nub. (Fig. 26)
Tighten carefully until snug.
The Defiant Controls
Two controls regulate the performance of the Defiant: a
primary air control supplies oxygen for the fire, and a
damper directs air flow within the stove to activate and
deactivate the catalytic combustor. (Fig. 27)
Symbols cast into the stove are reminders of the cor-
rect directions for using the controls. ‘Left’ and ‘right’ in
these directions mean as you face the stove.
