  • Page 5 HISTORY OF CHANGES 1995 DEFIANT ENCORE Model 2550 This section covers the Defiant Encore Model 2550, built beginning in March, 1995. In March 1995, Vermont Castings changed the Defiant Encore stove to simplify assembly and minimize enamel chipping. • The visible parts of the front doors are now one casting instead of two. This ensures a good enamel colour match and minimizes chipping during assembly.

  • Page 11 Instructions and illustrations are given at the end of this section of the manual. Cementing Prepare parts which will need to be cemented before starting to assemble the stove, but do not apply cement until just before installing the parts. Cementing instructions are given below.
  • Page 12 Assembly You will need at least 6 tubes of stove cement to re-assemble a Defiant Encore. Cut the tips of the tubes so you can apply an unbroken bead of cement to the cement channels and mating surfaces. 1. Place the stove bottom upside-down. Put a generous bead of cement around the top edge of the ashdrop (Fig.

  • Page 14 11. Mount the front to the stove bottom and to the stove ends. The threaded stems on the back edges of the stove front pass through clevises on the front edges of the stove ends, and are secured with hex nuts and washers. The front attaches to the stove bottom with a ¼-20 hex bolt and washer.
  • Page 15 19. Install the thermostat. Be sure that the friction spring is on the stem, between the outer end and ‘ears’ pressed onto the stem, and that the wire stem coming off the bi- metal coil passes over the stem and toward the front of the stove. Loosely attach the thermostat handle to the stem, on the outside of the stove.

  • Page 21 APPENDIX #1 YEARLY MAINTENANCE SUGGESTIONS The 2550 Defiant Encore is a sophisticated combustion machine, and regular “fine tuning” will give you the full benefits of its operating potential. GENERAL CHECKLIST • Inspect the chimney for blockage such as squirrels, nests, branches, etc.
  • Page 22 Inspect the element. Although small hairline cracks will not affect performance, the element should essentially be intact. If elements are broken or missing, the catalyst should be replaced. If the catalyst is in good shape and all the fly ash has been removed, re-install the combustor in the stove by sliding it into the opening, making sure that it is resting on the refractory shelf.
  • Page 23 CHECK THE DAMPER The Encore’s damper is designed to snap into a locked position. When closing the damper, push the handle past the point at which you feel resistance until it snaps into the locked position. • Place several pieces of note paper along the top and bottom of the damper and lock the damper.
