This heater is for burning coal
only. Use of any other fuel except for
coal ignition is a violation of federal
law.
When and if the chimney pipes or
connectors reach 500 degrees fahren-
heit (maximum temperature), the stove
is being over fired. We recommend the
purchase of a Harman Magnetic
Temperature Gauge to monitor the
stove and stack temperatures relative
to the amount of draft the customer per-
mits the stove to operate.
It has been verified that creosote
will ignite at 650 degrees fahrenheit. It
is the owners responsibility to follow
these recommendations.
This stove consumes air when it is
burning. It is advisable that a window in
the vicinity be opened slightly while
stove is burning if your house is tightly
sealed and insulated. (Information con-
tained in this manual is manufacturer’s
recommendations and if there is any
difference between our recommenda-
tions and local code requirements, we
suggest following local code require-
ments.)
1.3 Curing Paint
During the first few hours of burn-
ing, a blue smoke will be observed ris-
ing from the painted surface of the
stove. It is advisable to increase the
amount of fresh air in the room during
this breaking-in period. This may be
achieved by opening doors, windows,
etc. Don’t be alarmed, this is normal.
1.4 Mobile Homes
Harman Stoves are not approved
or recommended for mobile homes.

3. Chimney
3.1 Types of Chimneys
The chimney is one of the most
important, yet most neglected and mis-
understood portion of any solid fuel
burning installation. We do not recom-
mend that the stove be connected to a
chimney with other heating devices.
THE STOVE MUST BE CON-
NECTED TO ITS OWN TILE-LINED
FLUE. A MINIMUM FLUE SIZE OF 8" X
8" IS NECESSARY FOR PROPER
OPERATION AND APPROVED FOR
ALL FUELS.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTA N C E S
SHOULD A MANUAL FLUE DAMPER
BE INSTALLED IN THE SMOKE PIPE
BETWEEN STOVE AND CHIMNEY!
