Exception F200 Wood Insert

Maintenance

Like all fine equipment, your Exception requires some routine maintenance and inspection. Follow the guidelines in this section to guarantee safe, efficient operation.

The Insert

Surface

The insert’s exterior surface should be dusted periodically with a soft cloth. For more thorough clean- ing, wait until the insert 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 insert is com- pletely cool, then use a sponge, soap and water to gently remove dirt and stains. Before relighting the insert, re- move all soap residue and wipe dry.

Controls

To avoid a rust buildup on the inner surfaces of the controls, work the controls back and forth several times, during the summer, or any prolonged period when you are not using your insert.

The Fire Chamber

The inside of the fire chamber should be exam- ined for damage to the refractory lining material, After- burner hood and Afterburner glass. If any of these parts have been damaged, replace them with Harman Stove Company replacement parts.

Glass - Replacement

If the insert’s glass is cracked or broken, you must replace it before operating your insert. Remove pieces carefully. Replace glass only with Harman Insert Com- pany replacement glass panels; do not use substitutes.

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 adhesive 1/4"” gasket material around the front face of

the glass. Note: This glass has a special IR coating on one side. This coating must be to the outside of the in- sert. The coated side has a label on it. Do not remove the label before installing the glass. Remove label before burning the unit.

Set the glass pane and gasket gently onto the door. Install the hold down clips and tighten with bolts as shown.

Reinstall door on insert.

Glass - Cleaning

Door	Sometime it will be nec-
	essary 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 accu-
	mulates on the glass should burn
	off during 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 nonabrasive cleaner spe-
	cifically designed for use on in-
	sert glass. In any case, dry thor-
	oughly before relighting your in-
	sert.
