4. Efficient Mode Fig 27 The Defiant s damper operating positions Two Ways to Add Fuel The Defiant s griddle lifts for convenient top loading of logs and is the easiest way to add fuel Fig 28 The damper handle on the left side of the stove oper ates the damper to direct air flow within the stove The damper is open when the handle points to the rear enabling smoke to pass directly into the chimney The damper must be open when starting or reviving a fire and whenever the griddle or doors are opened The damper is closed when the handle points forward Smoke travels through the non catalytic combustion 14 30003846 Fig 28 Top loading is the best way to add fuel during regular use Front loading is useful for kindling a fire In addition however the front doors open as well for adding an occasional log to a fire The Defiant NC is not approved for operation in Europe with the front doors open To open the front doors insert the handle into the door latch stub and turn it to the left and up Fig 29 To close them always close the left door first Turn the handle in the right door to the left and up to the open position and close it Finally push on the door as you turn the handle to the right and down The doors will draw in slightly and the handle should offer some resis tance as you turn it to the closed position To reduce the risk of breaking the glass avoid striking the glass
5. 181 sq cm 28 sq in area into a 254 x 254 mm 10 x 10 flue the gases slow to one third their original speed This allows the gases to cool more rapids which weakens draft strength If an oversized flue is also outside the house the heat it absorbs gets transferred to the outdoor air and the flue usually stays cool It is common for a masonry flue especially one serving a fireplace to be oversized for the stove It can take quite a while to warm up such a flue and the results can be disappointing The best solution to an oversized flue is an insulated steel chimney liner the same diam eter as the stove or insert s flue outlet the liner keeps the exhaust warm and the result is a stronger draft An uninsulated liner is a second choice the liner keeps the exhaust restricted to its original size but the hot gases still must warm up the air around the liner This makes the warm up process take longer Pipe amp Chimney Layout Every turn the exhaust must take as it travels to the chimney top will slow it down The ideal pipe and chim ney layout is to vent vertically into a completely straight and vertical chimney If you are starting from scratch use this layout if possible If the stovepipe must elbow to enter a chimney locate the thimble about midway between the stove top and the ceiling This achieves several goals it allows the gases to speed up before Defiant 1610CE Non Catalytic Woodburning Stove they must turn it l
