Remove the chimney cap if one exists so that the flue may be cleaned and the venting installed.
Remove any existing hearth accessories such as glass doors, spark screens, andirons, and grates.
Clean the chimney thoroughly to remove ash, soot, and any obstructions, and then clean ash, soot, dust, and debris from the fireplace.
The damper must be locked open to allow the 4" venting to pass through. If it is necessary to modify the damper area to allow passage of the venting, the modifications should be allowed under local codes. Confirm any planned changes with local building officials.

DO NOT DISCONNECT OR BYPASS THE VENT SAFETY SWITCH.
WARNING: Operation of this heater when not connected to a properly installed and maintained venting system or tampering with the vent safety shutoff system can result in carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and possible death.
The Clarity Fireplace Insert is equipped with its own integral draft hood so no additional draft hood is required. The heater should be installed so that the draft hood is in the same atmospheric pressure zone as the air inlets to the heater.
VENTING
Use Only Approved Venting
The Clarity 828I Vented Gas Fireplace Insert is tested and listed for connection to a 4" (100 mm) listed Class B venting system.
If the unit is installed to vent through an approved masonry chimney or a
a listed lining system approved for use with |
appliances must be used. |
Observe local codes when venting the Clarity. If |
no local codes exist, follow the current edition of ANSI |
Z223.1 and CAN1- B149 installation codes. |
Do not connect the venting to the flue of a chim- |
ney that serves a separate |
ance. |
The venting manufacturer's installation instructions |
must be followed exactly. |

TEST FOR FLUE SPILLAGE
A spillage test should always be made at the completion of the installation, and at least annually thereafter.
1.Start all exhaust fans in the home and then close all doors and windows in the room containing the heater.
2.Light the heater and allow it to run for 5 min- utes on the high output setting. The convection air blower should be turned off for the test.
3.Remove the left trim panel, which is held in place by a clip at the bottom and a magnet at the top, and place a source of smoke (such as a match, lighter, or a cigarette) in front of the flue spillage test tube.
The smoke should be drawn into the tube. If it is not, let the heater run for 5 more minutes and repeat the test.
low flue gas temperatures of this appliance, it is |
important that it be connected to a |
efficient venting system which is capable of regis- |
tering a negative pressure while the stove is in op- |
eration. |
The most efficient venting systems are those that |
have a minimum number of bends and minimal hori- |
zontal runs. |
The Clarity Fireplace Insert is equipped with a ther- |
mally activated vent safety switch which will shut |
down the main burner if the heater is not properly |
venting. The safety switch will automatically reset |
after the heater has cooled down. |
Draft Tube |
Remove Left Wing Cover to Expose Draft Tube.
The switch will continue to cycle off and on until |
the venting problem is corrected. If you are unable |
to correct the venting problem, seek expert advice |
from your Harman dealer or installer. |
4.If the smoke is not drawn into the tube, turn off the heater and determine why there is no draft. If necessary, seek expert advice.
For sites with swirling or turbulent wind condi- tions, a wind cap may solve the problem.
