3. Determine the correct length of the appropriate-sized 
gasket by laying it out in the channel.  Allow an extra 
1-2” (25-50 mm), and mark the spot to be cut.
4. Remove the gasket from the channel, place it on a 
wood cutting surface, and cut it at the marked spot with 
a utility knife.  
Twist the ends slightly to keep the gasket from unravel-
ing.
5. Lay an unbroken 1/8” (3 mm) bead of gasket cement 
in the newly-cleaned channel. (Fig. 42)
6. Starting at one end, press the gasket into the chan-
nel. (Fig. 48) Ensure a good joint where the gasket 
meets before trimming any excess. Do not overlap the 
gasket ends or leave ends with ragged edges.

7. Press the gasketed part firmly against its normal 
mating surface to seat the gasket evenly in its channel. 
Close and latch the door to do this, or tap other parts 
with the rubber mallet (or hammer/block of wood). 
8. Clean any excess cement from around the chan-
nel, then let the cement that holds the new gasket dry 
thoroughly.
9. The stove’s doors may need adjustment after you 
have regasketed them. Initially, it may require loosening 
the latch to accommodate the new gasket; after a few 
weeks, it may need tightening to compensate for com-
pression of the new gasket. The directions for adjusting 
the latches are on page 32. 
All Gasketed Construction Gaskets
Other gaskets form seals between all other non-moving 
parts, but these are not subject to the same wear and 
deterioration as gaskets on moving parts. It is unlikely 
that you will ever need to replace these gaskets unless 
the involved parts are disassembled and then put back 
together. If this is the case, the job should be done only 
by a qualified service technician.
5/16” diameter gasket seals the following parts: 
• 
The lower fireback to the back panel
• 
The left and right air plates (inner sides)
  All connections between the stove plates.
The Chimney System
Creosote 
Your Defiant is designed to reduce creosote build-up 
significantly. However, regular chimney inspection and 
maintenance must still be performed. For safety, good 
stove performance, and to protect your chimney and 
chimney connector, inspect your chimney and chimney 
connector on a regular schedule. Clean the system if 
necessary. Failure to keep the chimney and connector 
system clean can result in a serious chimney fire.
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar, organic 
vapors and moisture that combine to form creosote. The 
creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney 
flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue 
accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creo-
sote makes an extremely hot fire within the flue system 
that can damage the chimney and overheat adjacent 
combustible material. If a significant layer of creosote 
has accumulated —1/8” (3 mm) or more — it should be 
removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
You can never be too safe. Contact your local fire 
authority for information on what to do in the event of 
a chimney fire, and have a clearly understood plan on 
how to handle one.
If you do experience a chimney fire, act promptly to:
• Close the damper and air control lever.
• Get everyone out of the house.
• Call the Fire Department.
Inspect the system every two weeks during the heat-
ing season as part of a regular maintenance schedule. 
To inspect the chimney, let the stove cool completely. 
Then, using a mirror and a strong light, sight up through 
the flue collar into the chimney flue. If you cannot in-
spect the flue system in this fashion, the stove must be 
disconnected to provide better viewing access. 
Clean the chimney using a brush the same size and 
shape as the flue liner. Flexible fiberglass rods are used 
to run the brush up and down the liner, causing any 
deposits to fall to the bottom of the chimney where they 
can be removed through the clean-out door.
