Installation8
When installing and operating your Harman Accentra Pellet Stove, respect basic safety standards. Read these instructions carefully before you attempt to install or operate the Accentra. Failure to do so may re- sult in damage to property or personal injury and may void the product warranty.
Consult with your local building code agency and insurance representative before you begin your instal- lation to ensure compliance with local codes, including the need for permits and
Several issues must be addressed when select- ing a suitable location for your Accentra Pellet Stove. Observing required clearances to combustible materi- als, the proximity to a safe chimney or venting system, and the accessibility of electrical supply must all be con- sidered. In addition, selecting a location that takes ad- vantage of the building's natural air flow is also desir- able to maximize the heating effectiveness of the heater. In many cases, this is a central location within the build- ing.
Adequate combustion and ventilation air must be provided. The Accentra pellet stove is capable of being installed with a 100% outside air combustion system. See Page 14 about venting.
Place the stove on a noncombustible floor surface. If the floor surface is made of a combustible material, (such as carpet, vinyl or wood), a noncombustible ma- terial must be installed between the bottom of the unit and the floor. This can be a minimum of a 20 gauge sheetmetal plate, ceramic tile with grouted joints, a UL listed stove board, or a Harman Cast Iron floor protec- tor1. The Harman Cast Iron Floor Protector is equal to the minimum dimensions, which are 241/16 x 285/81. This allows for a 2" extension on each side of the unit and a 6" extensionto the front of the ashopening (33/8"2 if mea- sured from the base plate front edge.) The rear edge of the floor protection can be flush with the cast base plate rear edge.
Place the stove away from combustible walls at least as far as shown in figures 10, 11, 12, & 13
Note that the clearances shown are minimum for safety but do not leave much room for access when cleaning or service is needed.
AFTER THE INSTALLATION IS COMPLETED
