Ash Door

You may ﬁnd it helpful to remove the ashpan bracket from the inside ashdoor; use a 7/16” wrench for this. Remove the old gasket and clean the gasket channel thoroughly. Clean the ash door and mating edges of the ash drop. Cut the required length of 3/8” diameter gasket plus one inch. Place a continuous 1/8” bead of gasket cement in the channel and press the gasket into place, trimming the excess carefully. Replace the ashpan bracket if you removed it. Close and latch the ash door to seat the new gasket.

Front Doors

Carefully remove the doors and place them face down on a padded surface. Note where the gasket ends are trimmed so you can make an exact replacement.

1.Pull out the old gasket and clean each gasket chan- nel with the wire brush.

2.Lay the new 3/8” diameter ﬁberglass in place and trim it to length.

3.Place a continuous 1/8” bead of gasket cement in the gasket channel and press the trimmed gasket into place. Remove any excess cement that may have squeezed out around the gasket.

4.If you are also replacing the glass gasket, go on to the next section. If you are not dealing with the glass gasket, replace the doors on the stove and latch the doors to seat the gasket.

Glass

The Deﬁant stoves use glass panels with an infrared reﬂective coating. Since the coating goes on the room side of the door, there is a “left” and a “right” pane. Be sure to mark which is which. In manufacturing, the Deﬁ- ant has a ﬂat die-cut gasket between the glass and the door. You will replace this with a 3/16” diameter round gasket.

1.Remove the door assemblies and place on a padded surface, inner side up.

2.Remove the screws and retainer clips from both doors. Pull off the old glass ﬁber gasket and clean the support ledge thoroughly.

3.Cut the required replacement gaskets, allowing a little excess. Place a continuous 1/8” bead of cement on each support ledge and press the gaskets into place, trimming the excess carefully and removing any excess cement.

4.Clean only the inside of the panes.

5.Center the glass on the gasket. Be sure to place the pane with its coated side facing out into the room.

6.Replace the retainer clips and snug down the screws. Do not overtighten the screws, since the glass must move a little under heat.

7.Replace the doors on the stove.

Damper

The Deﬁant’s damper mechanism includes an adjust- ing screw visible on the face of the damper when the griddle is open. Be sure the damper is adjusted proper- ly before you decide to replace the gasket. Test the gas- ket by closing the damper on a group of narrow slips of
