Vermont Castings • Defiant® Model 1975-CAT-C Installation Manual_R8  •  02/21

WARNING

!

For safety and greatest efficiency, operate your stove 

only with all doors/griddles fully closed. The test 

standard for your stove when it is operated in this 

mode is UL 1482.

WARNING

!

DO NOT OPERATE THE STOVE WITH THE ASH 

DOOR OPEN. OPERATION WITH THE ASH DOOR 

OPEN CAN CAUSE AN OVER-FIRING CONDITION TO 

OCCUR. OVER-FIRING THE STOVE IS DANGEROUS 

AND CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, INJURY 

OR LOSS OF LIFE.

Andirons Help Protect the Glass

Your stove has andirons to keep logs away from the glass 

panels.  The  andirons  are  essential  to  maintain  clear  fire 

viewing, and should be left in place during operation. Since 

the andirons may slightly hinder refueling through the front 

doors, most stove owners will prefer the convenience of top 

loading through the griddle. Do not place fuel between the 

andirons and the doors.

Burn Only High-Quality Wood

This appliance is designed to burn natural wood only; do not 

burn fuels other than that for which it was designed. 

IMPORTANT:  Do  not  burn  any  type  of  artificial  or 

synthetic materials such as fire starter logs (containing 

wax) in this appliance. Never burn liquid-based fuels 

such as kerosene, gasoline or alcohol.

 

Burning any materials not allowed in these instructions, or 

over-firing the stove, may void the warranty. 
You’ll  enjoy  the  best  results  when  burning  wood  that  has 

been adequately air-dried. The wood should be 18” - 20” 

(457-508 mm) in length. Avoid burning “green” wood that 

has not been properly seasoned. Do not burn construction 

materials; they often contain chemicals and metals that can 

damage the inside surfaces of the stove and pollute the 

air. Do not burn ocean driftwood; when it burns, the salt it 

contains will attack the cast iron.

The best hardwood fuels include oak, maple, beech, ash, 

and  hickory  that  has  been  split,  stacked,  and  air-dried 

outside under cover for at least one year. 

If hardwood is not available, you can burn softwoods that 

include tamarack, yellow pine, white pine, Eastern red cedar, 

fir, and redwood. These should also be properly dried. 
Store split wood under cover to keep it dry. Even for short-

term storage, be sure to keep wood a safe distance from the 

heater and keep it out of the areas around the heater used 

for refueling and ash removal.

Surface Thermometer is a Valuable Guide to Operation

An optional surface thermometer tells you when to adjust 

the air control, and when to refuel, Figure 5.7.

Figure 5.7

 - Take temperature readings with a thermometer located 

in the middle of the griddle.

For  example,  when  the  thermometer  registers  at  least 

450°F (230°C) on the stove top after start-up you know the 

stove is hot enough and it may be time to close the damper 

if a sufficient ember bed has also been established. Note 

that the stove will warm up much sooner than the chimney, 

though; a warm chimney is the key to easy, effective stove 

operation. Please review the 

"Draft Management"

 section of 

this manual to see how the size, type, and location of your 

chimney will affect your stove operation. When thermometer 

readings drop below 350°F. (175°C) it’s time to adjust the 

air control for a higher burn rate or to reload the stove. A 

temperature reading over 650°F. (340°C) is a sign to reduce 

the air supply to slow the burn rate.
Use the following temperature ranges as a guide:

•  Readings in the 350°-500°F. (175°-260°C) range indicate 

low to medium heat output.

•  500°-600°F.  (260°-315°C)  readings  indicate  medium 

heat output.

•  Readings of 600°-700°F. (315-371°C) indicate high heat 

output. Operating your appliance continuously at griddle 

temperatures higher than 650° F (340°C) may damage 

the cast iron or enamel finish.

Use the Air Control Settings that Work Best for You

No  single  air  control  setting  will  fit  every  situation.  Each 

installation will differ depending on the quality of the fuel, 

the amount of heat desired, and how long you wish the fire 

to burn; outdoor air temperature and pressure also affect 

draft.
The control setting also depends on your particular 

installation’s  “draft,”  or  the  force  that  moves  air  from  the 

stove  up  through  the  chimney.  Draft  is  affected  by  such 

things as the length, type, and location of the chimney, local 

geography, nearby obstructions, and other factors. See the 

"Draft Management"

 section of this manual for details on 

how the installation affects performance.
Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the 

appliance, and could even damage the stove. On the other 

hand,  too  little  draft  can  cause  backpuffing  into  the  room 

and/or the “plugging” of the chimney.
