The End Of Season Shut Down List.

1.Allow the stove to run out of coal in order to extin- guish the fire. This saves having to remove the coal from the hopper manually and most importantly, drives the moisture out of the stove that may be present in the coal.

2.Perform all the steps of the 3 month maintenance list.

3.Clean the glass as shown in fig.21.

4.Empty the fines tray and inspect the area for rust and corrosion

5.Make sure the hopper is empty. Wet or damp coal in the hopper will promote rust.

6.Remove the FSS Tube from the rear of the firebox (fig.27) and clean the brass fitting going into the firebox with a pipe cleaner. Reconnect tube.

7.The FSS line filter can be changed annually to insure proper flow, however, it may only be neces- sary if the filter is discolored.

8.Remember to cover the flue pipe over the summer to block out rodents and birds. Place a note inside the unit to remind yourself or others not to forget to uncover the flue pipe before lighting a fire.

Prevent Rust

Summertime moisture and high humidity are your stove's enemy. A clean stove will have less fly ash and fines to absorb moisture and cause rust and corrosion. Allowing wet coal to remain in the hopper of a cold stove will promote the formation of rust and corrosion. Some owners choose to spray a light coating of oil on all internal workings and the firebox as a rust inhibitor.

Annual Service

It is recommended that your DVC500 is serviced annually by your trained Harman dealer. The best time for this service is during a non-use period. You may choose to combine this service with the end of season maintenance.
