Defiant 1610 Non-Catalytic Woodburning Stove

30002850

Starting and Maintaining a Wood Fire

Burn only solid wood in the Deﬁant, and burn it directly

on the grate. Do not elevate the fuel. Do not burn coal

or other fuels.

The bypass damper must be open when starting a

ﬁre or when refueling.

Do not use chemicals or ﬂuids to start the ﬁre. Do

not burn garbage. Never use ﬂammable ﬂuids such

as gasoline, gasoline type lantern fuel, kerosene,

charcoal lighter ﬂuid, naptha, engine oil or similar

liquids to start or “freshen up” a ﬁre in this heater.

Keep all such liquids well away from the heater

while it is in use.

1. Open the stove bypass damper, and open the prima

ry air control fully.

2. Place several sheets of crumpled newspaper in the

stove. Place six or eight pieces of dry kindling split to a

ﬁnger-width size on the paper. On the kindling, lay two

or three larger sticks of split dry wood approximately

1-2” (25-51 mm) in diameter. (Fig. 33)

window near the stove on the windward side of the

house can provide the combustion air supply needed.

Another option for getting more combustion air to the

stove is to duct air directly from outside to the stove. In

some areas provisions for outside combustion air are

required in all new construction.

The Deﬁant NC is equipped to deliver outside air for

combustion and outside air kit #3265 is available.

When ﬁrst using the stove, keep track of the air control

settings. You will quickly ﬁnd that a speciﬁc setting will

give you a ﬁxed amount of heat. It may take a week or

two to determine the amount of heat and the length of

burn you should expect from various settings.

Most installations do not require a large amount of

combustion air, especially if adequate draft is available.

Do not for any reason attempt to increase the ﬁring

of your heater by altering the air control adjustment

range outlined in these directions.

Use the following air control settings as a starting point

to help determine the best settings for your installation.

Each is described as a fraction of the total distance the

lever may be moved from right to left.

Deﬁant Control Settings

(Refer to Figure 27, Page 19)

Burn Rate Primary Air Control

Low From far right to 1/3 the distance

to left

Medium From 1/3 to 2/3 the distance

to left

High From 2/3 the distance

to left, to far left

DO NOT OPERATE THE STOVE WITH THE ASH

DOOR OPEN. OPERATION WITH THE ASH DOOR

OPEN CAN CAUSE AN OVERFIRING CONDITION

TO OCCUR. OVERFIRING THE STOVE IS DANGER

OUS AND CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE,

INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.

Conditioning Your Stove

Cast iron is extremely strong, but it can be broken with

a sharp blow from a hammer or from the thermal shock

of rapid and extreme temperature change.

The cast plates expand and contract with changes in

temperature. When you ﬁrst begin using your Deﬁant,

minimize thermal stress by letting the plates adjust

gradually during three or four initial break-in ﬁres follow-

ing Steps 1-3 below.

Fig. 33 Start the ﬁre with newspaper and dry kindling.

3. Light the newspaper and close the door. Gradu-

ally build up the ﬁre by adding a few 3-5” (80-120 mm)

diameter pieces of split ﬁrewood. If this is one of the

ﬁrst few “break-in” ﬁres, let the ﬁre burn brightly,

and then let it die out.

During the break-in ﬁres, do not let the stove get hotter

than 500°F. (260°C) as measured on an optional stove-

top thermometer. Adjust the air control lever as neces-

sary to control the ﬁre.

Some odor from the stove’s hot metal and the paint is

normal for the ﬁrst few ﬁres.

NOTE: Some chimneys must be “primed,” or warmed

up, before they will draw sufﬁciently to start a ﬁre. To

correct this situation, roll up a couple pieces of news-

paper, place them on top of the kindling and toward

the back of the stove, light them, and close the doors.

This will encourage the smoke to rise rapidly, making it

easier to establish a good draft.
