1975 Non-Catalytic / Catalytic Woodburning Stove

30005220

NoTeS:

In the diagram and throughout this manual, ‘left’ and ‘right’ mean as you

face the front of the stove.
When ordering parts, be sure to mention the stove’s model number.

When ordering external parts, be sure to specify color.
The hardware in the Defiant is in standard sizes; most bolts are 1/4”

diameter by 20 threads per inch. Most hardware stores can supply re-

placement hardware if you specify bolt diameter, number of threads per

inch and length. Fasteners inside the firebox should be replaced with

stainless steel for ease of future disassembly.
