1.1KEEP CHILDREN AWAY -- MAY CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS

CAUTION: ALL SURFACES OF STOVE ARE HOT. DO NOT TOUCH! KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. SERIOUS BURNS WILL RESULT IF TOUCHED. THIS IS A HEAT PRODUCING APPLIANCE. SERI- OUS BURNS MAY RESULT IF THE STOVE IS TOUCHED DUR- ING FIRING.

1.2FUEL/FIRING WARNINGS

DANGER! FIRE HAZARD! DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLU- IDS TO START OR “FRESHEN UP” A FIRE. SEVERE BODY BURNS OR A FIRE IN YOUR HOME COULD RESULT. DO NOT BURN GARBAGE, GASOLINE, THINNERS, DRAIN OR ENGINE OIL, KEROSENE, OR FUEL OIL, ETC. AN EXPLOSION, A HOUSE FIRE OR PERSONAL INJURY COULD RESULT. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE STOVE WHILE IN USE.

“NEVER” burn materials other than coal or split and dried wood logs. A chimney fire or heat exchanger fail- ure could result. This includes large amounts of corrugated boxes, wood shavings, paper scraps, dried Christmas trees, coke, garbage, tires, or other burnable products.

When and if the chimney pipes or connectors reach 500 degrees fahrenheit (maximum temperature), the stove is being over-fired. We rec- ommend the purchase of a Harman Magnetic Temperature Gauge to monitor the stove and stack temper- atures relative to the amount of draft the customer permits the stove to operate.

It has been verified that creosote will ignite at 650 degrees fahrenheit. It is the owner’s responsibility to fol- low these recommendations.

This stove consumes air when it is burning. It is advisable that a win- dow in the vicinity be opened slight- ly while stove is burning if your house is tightly sealed and insulated. (Information contained in this man- ual is manufacturer’s recommenda- tions and if there is any difference between our recommendations and local code requirements, we suggest following local code requirements.)

1.3Curing Paint

During the first few hours of burn- ing, a blue smoke will be observed rising from the painted surface of the stove. It is advisable to increase the amount of fresh air in the room during this breaking-in period. This may be achieved by opening doors, windows, etc. Don’t be alarmed, this is normal.

1.4Mobile Home

Harman Stoves are not approved or recommended for mobile homes.

2.1Heat Collector

Optional Heat Collector can be attached to the top of the stove to direct heat from the spiral chamber and stove top into a duct. CAU- TION: The duct rising off the heat collector should be kept ten inches away from combustible materials for the first fifteen feet from the stove. This includes floor joists, suspended ceilings, etc. Clearances may be reduced if fireproof material such as asbestos board or sheet metal with air space is used to protect com- bustibles. The heat collector slides on easily from the front of the unit. (See diagram on following page.)
