Maintenance

Minimizing Creosote:

Whenever wood is burned slowly, the potential exists for creosote to form in the venting. The chimney or venting system should be inspected periodically throughout the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If a significant layer of creosote has accumulated (3mm or more), it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire. A professional chimney sweep is recommended, since they would normally have the correct equipment to ensure proper creosote removal.

If you experience a fire in the venting system, turn the stove to "OFF" to allow the unit to shut down. Call the fire department, and be sure everyone is out of the residence. Before re-using the appliance, have it, and the venting system thoroughly inspected and replace any damaged components.

The glass in your Harman stove is a special ceramic glass.

Do not abuse the glass by striking or slamming the door.

Never burn the appliance if the door glass is cracked or broken.

Replace only with Harman supplied glass.

Soot and/or fly-ash may accumulate on

 

 

the viewing glass, and will occasionally

 

 

need to be cleaned. Clean the glass

Lay the glass retainers into position

 

 

and install the screws. Tighten each

 

 

screw evenly to avoid making any
