Defiant 1610 Non-Catalytic Woodburning Stove

Assembly

Set Up Your Stove

Cast iron stoves are heavy, and it will take two to four people to move your Defiant into position.

Wipe the protective coating of oil from the griddle with a clean dry rag or a paper towel.

Install the handle on the griddle. Slip the bolt through a washer, a nylon bushing, then through the handle and the other bushing, then through the steel spacer and into the griddle tab. (Fig. 19) Tighten securely.

Install Stove Legs

Remove and discard the four large slot-head screws from the stove bottom. Install the stove legs (Fig. 20) using the hex head bolts from the parts bag. Use 3/8” washers with all four legs; the door handle holder at- taches between the right front leg and the stove body. Position the holder so the hole that accepts the handle hub faces out from the right side of the stove. Tighten the bolts firmly.

NOTE: It is usually most convenient to leave the stove on its shipping pallet and swing one corner of the stove at a time off the pallet to attach each leg. Be sure to support the stove well (i.e. with wooden blocks) until all four legs are secured to the stove.

CAUTION: Overtightening can strip tapped threads.

Storing the Handle

Use the removable handle to open or close the doors. After using it, remove the handle so it will not get hot. Store the handle in the handle holder installed behind the right front leg. (Fig. 21)

1.Loosen the four 10-24 x 1/2” hex head bolts from the corners of the ash drop on the stove bottom.

3.Align the bottom heat shield holes with the four bolts. The outside air cutout hole should be toward the rear of the stove.

4.Tighten the four hex head bolts securely after pass- ing all four bolts through the large end of the key- holes and then pulling the shield forward to engage the smaller ends of the keyhole slots. (Fig. 22)
