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 nylon bushing, then through the handle and the other bushing, then through the steel spacer and into the griddle tab. (Fig. 16) Tighten securely.
