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 
washer, a nylon bushing, then through the handle and 
the other bushing, then through the steel spacer and 
into the griddle tab. (Fig. 19) Tighten securely.

Remove and discard the four large slot-head screws 
from the stove bottom. Install the stove legs (Fig. 20) 
using the hex head bolts from the parts bag. Use 3/8” 
washers with all four legs; the door handle holder at-
taches between the right front leg and the stove body. 
Position the holder so the hole that accepts the handle 
hub faces out from the right side of the stove. Tighten 
the bolts firmly. 
NOTE: It is usually most convenient to leave the stove 
on its shipping pallet and swing one corner of the stove 
at a time off the pallet to attach each leg. Be sure to 
support the stove well (i.e. with wooden blocks) until all 
four legs are secured to the stove. 
CAUTION: Overtightening can strip tapped threads.

Use the removable handle to open or close the doors. 
After using it, remove the handle so it will not get hot. 
Store the handle in the handle holder installed behind 
the right front leg. (Fig. 21)

installations. Refer to Floor Protection, Page 10, for 
further details.
1.  Loosen the four 10-24 x 1/2” hex head bolts from the 

corners of the ash drop on the stove bottom.  

3.  Align the bottom heat shield holes with the four 

bolts. The outside air cutout hole should be toward 
the rear of the stove.

4.  Tighten the four hex head bolts securely after pass-

ing all four bolts through the large end of the key-
holes and then pulling the shield forward to engage 
the smaller ends of the keyhole slots. (Fig. 22)
