The handle on the front door of your TLC 2000 is attached
to a threaded shaft. After a period of time, you may nd that
the front door does not close as rmly as when your stove was
new. This is due to a natural compression of the gaskets. To
tighten the seal, open the door and rotate the handle one full
turn counterclockwise or bend the latch plate on the stove.

The optional blower on your TLC 2000 stove requires very
little maintenance. You should, however, keep the air inlet and
the motor free of dust and dirt.

Sometimes it will be necessary to clean accumulated ash
from the glass surface; allowing this ash to remain on the glass
for long periods can result in “etching” due to the acidity of
the ash. The creosote which accumulates on the glass should
burn off during your hot res.
Never clean the glass while it is hot, and do not use abra-
sive substances. Wash the surface with cool water, and rinse
thoroughly. You may wish to use a non-abrasive cleaner
specically designed for use on stove glass. In any case, dry
thoroughly before relighting your stove.

Gaskets are used on the doors and top lid of the TLC 2000.
You must check these gaskets from time to time, and replace
them when necessary. The gaskets are made of berglass of
different sizes (obtainable from Harman Dealer) and are xed
in place with a high temperature stove gasket cement. To
change a gasket, rst remove the worn berglass and clean the
area with a wire brush. Also clean any other surfaces that come
into contact with the gasket. Place a small bead of cement in
the area under the gasket, then press new gasket material into
the channel; do not overlap the ends. Seat the gasket rmly by
applying pressure when possible; for example, after chang-
ing the door gasket, close the door. Allow the cement to dry
before using your stove.
