Defiant 1610CE Non-Catalytic Woodburning Stove

Operation

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. 25)

Symbols cast into the stove are reminders of the correct directions for using the controls. The words ‘Left’ and ‘right’ in these directions are facing the stove.

A Single Air Control Regulates

Heat Output and Burn Time

The primary air control lever, on the right side of the stove, controls the amount of incoming air for starting, maintaining, and reviving a fire.

More air entering the stove makes the fire burn hotter and faster, while less air prolongs the burn at a lower heat output level. (Fig. 26)

For the greatest air supply and maximum heat output (but the shortest burn time), move the lever toward the front of the stove. For a fire that will last longer with less heat, move the lever toward the rear of the stove.

A Damper Directs Air Flow

Within the Stove

The damper handle on the left side of the stove oper- ates the damper to direct air flow within the stove.

The damper is open when the handle points to the rear, enabling smoke to pass directly into the chimney. The damper must be open when starting or reviving a fire, and whenever the griddle or doors are opened.

The damper is closed when the handle points forward. Smoke travels through the non-catalytic combustion

The damper should always be either fully open or fully closed. There are no intermediate positions. When closing the damper, be sure to pull firmly enough to snap the handle into the locked posi- tion.
