TLC 2000 Coal Stove
18
Caution: Always wear fire-resistant gloves to
operate the stove. The air control is hot while
in operation.
Installing to a Prefabricated Chimney
When venting your TLC 2000 using a prefabri-
cated chimney, be sure to contact local building code
authorities, and to follow the manufacturer’s instructions
exactly. Use only the manufacturer’s parts; do not use
makeshift installation techniques. All prefabricated
chimneys must be tested to either the U.S. or Canadian
high-temperature standards, UL 103 or ULC-629.
Warning: Do not install in sleeping room.
The Harman TLC 2000 was tested with fuel door
open and closed.
If you operate with doors open, open the by-pass
and put a screen over the opening.
Do not burn any fuel other than wood, such as
charcoal, which can cause increased carbon monoxide
production or overfiring. Never use highly volatile sub-
stances in your stove, such as gasoline, which could
cause an explosion.
When solid fuels are burned completely, they pro-
duce water and carbon dioxide. However, in long slow
burns, a substantial amount of carbon monoxide may
be produced. If allowed to build up, carbon monoxide
(which is odorless) can prove fatally poisonous. Proper
ventilation and draft will prevent this from happening.
If you smell smoke, turn up the air control lever setting,
and thoroughly ventilate your dwelling. During future
burns, be careful not to overload the stove with fuel, so
you will not be tempted to constantly operate at a low
air control setting.
Other causes of poor ventilation or draft are icing,
exhaust fans, a blocked outside air inlet, and room air
starvation. If your stove is sluggish and you get occa-
sional odor, check these possibilities and increase the
air flow in your home.
