Hello, I have a defiant encore in the home we purchased about a year ago. I have not been able to find the manual for it and the back has a heat shield so I can't see the plate on it. Is there another way to identify which model I have? Thanks!

So if yours has a single pane of glass in each door, then it is a 2190. If it has double glass, then it's a 2140 or 0028, which are the same for all purposes. The last incarnation of the Defiant was the Defiant 3, or 0028. They thought it would be cute if the Defiant Encre had the exact same model number as its predecessor. Turned out to be too confusing I guess, cause they later gave it its own model number, the2140. 2140 and 2190 are totally different inside (except the actual catalytic combustor is the same), so it's important to figure out which you have.
 
That's great info thank you! My doors have a single pane of glass. Oddly enough I need to get new glass as there's a small crack in the corner of one. Plus I need to put glass gasket in and upgrade some of the other gaskets. Just want to give it a little tune up. I have to check the catalyst as well. Thanks again. Real helpful.
