TLC 2000 Coal Stove
11
Like all fine equipment, your TLC 2000 re-
quires some routine maintenance and inspection.
Follow the guidelines in this section to guarantee
safe, efficient operation.
The Stove
Surface
The stove’s exterior surface should be dusted
periodically with a soft cloth. For more thorough clean-
ing, wait until the stove is cool before using a damp
cloth to clean any blemishes.
The Door
The gold plated front door should never be buffed
or polished. Abrasive cleaners and metal polishes will
remove the plating and therefore should never be used.
If the door needs to be cleaned, wait until the stove is
completely cool, then use a sponge, soap and water to
gently remove dirt and stains. Before relighting the
stove, remove all soap residue and wipe dry.
Controls
To avoid a rust build-up on the inner surfaces
of the controls, work the controls back and forth sev-
eral times, during the summer, or any prolonged period
when you are not using your stove.
The Fire Chamber
The inside of the fire chamber should be exam-
ined for damage to the firebrick lining material, and
grates. If any bricks have been damaged, replace them
with Harman Stove Company replacement parts.
Glass - Replacement
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 Stove
Company replacement glass panels; do not use substi-
tutes.
To replace the glass panel(s), 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 com-
ponents of the door system fit together. Lay the load
door face down on the soft surface, and install the self
adheasive 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.
Glass - Cleaning
Sometime it will be necessary to clean accumu-
lated ash from the glass surface; allowing this ash to
remain on the glass for long periods can result in “etch-
ing” due to the acidity of the ash.
The creosote which accumulates
on the glass should burn off dur-
ing your hot fires.
Never clean the glass
while it is hot, and do not use
abrasive substances. Wash the
surface with cool water, and
rinse thoroughly. You may wish
to use a non-abrasive cleaner
specifically designed for use on
stove glass. In any case, dry
thoroughly before relighting your
stove.
