Your stove has a large glass-paneled door for loading
and re viewing, a separate smaller door for removing
ashes, and a top loading door.
Before opening, always check for wood, embers, or
ash that may be ready to fall out of the door.
To open the glass door, open bypass damper rst,
by pulling forward on the top load door handle, to the
rst position. Then lift up on the front door handle to
disengage the latch, and pull out. To close the door,
push door closed with handle in the open position, then
push handle down to engage the latch.
To open the ash door, open the bypass damper rst.
Lift up on the ash door handle and pull it open. Close
the door by pushing in and pushing the handle all the
way down.
To open the top load door, pull forward on the top
load door handle. The rst position tells you the bypass
damper is open. Continue pivoting the handle toward
you until it locks the top load door open.
All doors must be closed while the stove is in normal
operation, and the gaskets routinely examined for wear
and replaced when necessary. Good door seals are
important for maintaining control of the stove. Never
operate with the ash door open. Operating the stove with
the ash door open, or with a door improperly sealed,
could create a serious overring condition (discussed
later in this section).
Before you install and/or operate your TL300 wood
stove, please read the entire contents of this manual.
Pay particular attention to the explanation of draft and its
effect on stove performance, in the installation section.
By following the installation and operating guidelines,
you will ensure proper draft and gain maximum
efciency and enjoyment from your stove.
Your TL300 burns wood very efciently. Here are
some guidelines concerning log size and moisture
content that will help you obtain the best performance.
Select dry seasoned wood. For example, it should be
checked or cracked on the ends and not exposed to rain
or extremely damp conditions. Hardwoods are favored
because they are heavier and contain more heating
capacity (BTU’s) per load than do softwoods. Wood
should be split and stored under cover for “seasoning” -
a year is recommended. Your stove is not an incinerator
- do not burn garbage, painted or treated wood, plastics,
or other debris.
Keep the area around the stove free from clutter.
Keep all combustibles, including fuel, beyond the code-
required clearance distance (48" or 1215 mm in the
U.S., 1525 mm or 60" in Canada). Never store fuel
in front of the stove where it could interfere with door
operation, safe loading, and ash removal.
The glass used in your TL300 is manufactured to
exact standards to withstand the high heat of the
re, but like all glass, it must be treated with common
sense and care. Never abuse the glass by slamming
the door shut or striking the glass with a heavy object.
If the glass is broken or damaged, do not operate the
stove until it has been replaced (See instructions in
Maintenance section.)
The Harman TL300 has a unique grate system that
consists of one bottom grate, and two front andirons.
The bottom grate has slots which allow the ash to
fall into the ash pan by passing a poker back and
forth across the grate. The andirons keep the fuel
from coming into direct contact with the glass, and
keep hot coals and embers from spilling out while
reloading. Never build a re directly against the
glass. Andiron extensions (included with each stove)
clip onto the xed andirons and serve to protect the
glass when top loading is used as the primary load-
ing method. The grates and andirons must remain in
place at all times. Do not tamper with or change the
conguration of this grate system.
IF THIS HARMAN TL300 STOVE IS NOT
PROPERLY INSTALLED, OPERATED AND
MAINTAINED, A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT.
