Building and Maintaining the Fire

The air control lever is located directly below the ash lip of the stove. Using this lever you will be able to vary the amount of air delivered to the fire, creating a range of heat outputs. The low heat output setting is to the left, and high is to the far right. Do not, under any circumstances, alter the configuration or operation of the air control lever.

Below this setting, run the optional blower on "low" or "OFF". Higher air movement cools the secondary combustionarea which can leadto poor combustion and lower efficiency.

The Harman Exception was tested with the fuel door open and closed. If you operate under normal conditions keep door closed.

Set the air control lever at the maximum heat output setting, all the way to the right. Open the bypass damper by moving the top loading handle forward one position (ap- proximately 3"). The convection blower, if installed, should be off for the first five minutes after a reload.

Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel,

kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a fire in this heater. Keep all

such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.

Build a bed of paper and kindling; place several 1

"- 2" (25 mm - 50 mm) split pieces of dry wood on top, followed by a few 2" - 3" (50 mm - 80 mm) split pieces.

Ignite the paper a nd close the door. Allow the fire to burn until a good charcoal bed, 2" - 3" (50 mm - 80 mm) is formed; close the bypass damper

by pushing the top loading handle all the way back until it locks closed. (You may need to leave the load door open a crack to get the blaze going properly, but never leave the stove unattended with door open.) Add more wood to cre- ate a deeper charcoal base (3" - 4", or 80 mm - 100 mm thick); remember to open the bypass damper if you are loading fromthe front. This will allow the exhaust gases to pass directly into the flue outlet and reduce smoke spill- age during refueling.

Once the charcoal bed is established you may add a full load of dry wood. After adding the fuel, leave the damper open and the air setting at maximum for 5 to 15 minutes; close the damper and allow the air setting to remain on high for an additional 5 to 10 minutes. Then adjust the air lever and blower speed for the desired heat output.

Reloading

Once you have prepared and maintained a thick char- coal bed, you should be able to reload the stove, allow some open damper burning at the maximum air setting, close the damper and reset the air control in about five minutes.

Blower

To regulate the speed of the optional convection blower, adjust the control from low to high by turning the knob located on the blower. The blower speed should be matched to the air control lever setting.

When the air setting is low, the blower should al- ways be at the minimum setting (corresponding to a blower speed of 750 RPM.) At higher settings, above first notch on the air control, the blower may be set to your desired comfort level. Be sure that the blower cord does not run

under, over, above or in front of the stove.
