Maintenance
A qualified service person recommended by your Harman dealer should conduct an annual inspection and maintenance of your Clarity, its venting, and the installa- tion to keep it running safely and efficiently. These pro- cedures should be performed only by a qualified service person. The gas supply should be turned off whenever a maintenance procedure is performed.
If the front panel, side doors, or front access door are removed for servicing, they must be replaced prior to operating the Clarity.
Removing the Glass Front for Replacement
Refer to page 6 for directions on removing the glass front. Use only authorized Harman replacement glass components available from your dealer.
Replacing the Gasket
The Clarity has 5/8" diameter fiberglass gasket in the front door. Should it ever need replacement, use only the proper replacement gasket that is available from your Harman dealer. To replace the gasket, follow this proce- dure.
1.Open the door
2.Remove the existing gasket and clean its channel with a scraper or wire brush.
3.Lay a thin bead of high temperature silicone the entire length of the channel.
4.Lay the gasket in the channel with sufficient pressure that is stays in place.
5.Trim the excess from the end of the gasket so that it butts snugly against the other end without leaving a gap. Seal the end joint with high temperature silicone.
6.Close the door and apply firm pressure to seat the gasket evenly throughout.
Cleaning the Glass
The glass may be cleaned with ordinary household glass cleaner and a soft cloth or paper towel.
WARNING: Never clean the glass when it is hot. Do not use abrasive cleaners on the glass.
Inspecting the Venting
An inspection of the venting system should be made during the annual service appointment. The system must have no blockage and must be in good repair. The vent manufacturer's instructions may provide specific sugges- tions or details on vent inspection. Any sections that are taken apart for the inspection must be reassembled and sealed as required.
Cleaning the Log Set and Firebox
During the annual inspection and maintenance appoint- ment, the service person should clean dust, lint, and any light accumulation from the logs and the firebox area. An
