The stove’s exterior surface should be dusted periodically
with a soft cloth. For more thorough cleaning, wait until the
stove is cool before using a damp cloth to clean any blemishes.

To avoid a rust build-up on the inner surfaces of the con-
trols, work the controls back and forth several times, during
the summer, or any prolonged period when you are not using
your stove.

The inside of the re chamber should be examined for
damage to the rebrick lining material, and grates. If any
bricks have been damaged, replace them with Harman re-
placement parts.

Creosote - Formation and the need for removal- When
wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic
vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form
creosote. The creosote vapors condense in a cool chimney
of a slow burning re. As a result,
creosote residue accumulates in
the ue lining. When ignited, this
creosote makes an extremely hot
re. The chimney connector and
chimney must be inspected at least
once every two months during the
heating season to determine if a
creosote build-up has occurred.
If a signicant layer of creosote
has accumulated (3mm or more),
it must be removed to reduce the
risk of a chimney re.
In the event of a chimney re,
call your local re department;
make sure everyone is safely out
of the house. Reduce the air intake
of the stove as much as possible
using the air control lever. Do not
throw water on the re; this can
cause stove damage and create an
even more dangerous situation.
Have your chimney profession-
ally cleaned and inspected before
resuming burning in your stove.

The glass in this unit is a ceramic glass. 5mm X 444mm
X 311 mm. available from your Harman dealer.
If the stove’s glass is cracked or broken, you must replace
it before operating your stove. Remove pieces carefully.
Replace glass only with Harman supplied replacement glass
panels; do not use substitutes.
To replace the glass panel, you will need to remove the
door. To do this, open the door, lift it straight up and place it
on a soft surface.
Carefully remove damaged glass, gasket material, and
hold down clips (set aside).
Referring to the diagram, note how the various compo-
nents of the door system t together. Lay the load door face
down on the soft surface, and install the self adhesive 1/4"
gasket material around the front face of the glass.
Set the glass pane and gasket gently onto the door. Install
the hold down clips and tighten with bolts as shown. Reinstall
door on stove.
