B. General Maintenance Procedures

1.Ash Removal

Frequency: As needed / Every day or two

By: User

Wear Leather Gloves To Prevent Skin Burns!

Open the ash removal door by lifting upward on the latch handle, then swing the door open. Pull the ash pan out of the firebox, using the lip on the front of the pan. Once the ash pan is removed from the stove, you can flip the carry handle up for convenience.

If removing ashes while a fire is burning, close and latch the ash door while disposing of the ashes.

DO NOT leave the appliance unattended with the ash door open.

2.Door Glass

Frequency: As needed / Weekly

By: User

Whenever the view of the fire is obstructed, or weekly, clean the glass using a soft cloth dampened with standard household glass cleaner.

Never spray glass cleaner directly onto hot glass. Apply the cleaner to the cloth then wipe the glass.

Fly-ash allowed to accumulate on the glass may lead to permanent fogging or "crazing" of the glass.

Inspect the glass and sealing gasket. Replace gasket as needed. Do not operate the stove with a broken glass. Replacement glass, which is ceramic glass, should be obtained only through your Harman dealer.

To replace a broken glass; first be sure to carefully remove the broken glass and any remaining shards or pieces. With the door laying on a flat surface, lay the gasketted glass panel onto the door and be sure it is properly fitted into the channel. Lay the glass retainer clips in place near each corner, and secure them using the 3/8" screws. Be sure to tighten each screw equally so you don't create a pressure point on the glass.

Caution: never use abrasive materials on the glass.

Ashes must be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. Do not use the ash container for other debris or yard waste.
