  • Page 2: Defiant Encore Design Changes

    Defiant Encore Design Changes The Defiant Encore damper was modified in October 1986 to provide a cast wedge shaped stop to prevent the damper from striking or resting on the catalytic package when operating the stove in the updraft mode. The torsion bar slide area in the centre of the damper was widened to preclude torsion bar binding when opening and closing the damper.
