Maintenance

Like all fine equipment, your TLC 2000 requires 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 cleaning, wait until the stove is cool before using a damp cloth to clean any blemishes.

Controls

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 Fire Chamber

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

Glass - Replacement

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 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.

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.

Venting System / Chimney

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 fire. As a result,

creosote residue accumulates in the flue lining. When ignited, this

creosote makes an extremely hotDoor fire. 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 significant layer of creosote has accumulated (3mm or more), it must be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.

In the event of a chimney fire, call your local fire 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 fire; 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.
