Installing to a Prefabricated Chimney

When venting your TLC 2000 using a prefabri-

cated chimney, be sure to contact local building code authorities, and to follow the manufacturer’s instructions exactly. Use only the manufacturer’s parts; do not use

makeshift installation techniques. All prefabricated chimneys must be tested to either the U.S. or Canadian

high-temperature standards, UL 103 or ULC-629.

Warning: Do not install in sleeping room.

The Harman TLC 2000 was tested with fuel door open and closed.

If you operate with doors open, open the by-pass and put a screen over the opening.

Do not burn any fuel other than wood, such as charcoal, which can cause increased carbon monoxide production or overfiring. Never use highly volatile sub- stances in your stove, such as gasoline, which could cause an explosion.

When solid fuels are burned completely, they pro- duce water and carbon dioxide. However, in long slow burns, a substantial amount of carbon monoxide may be produced. If allowed to build up, carbon monoxide (which is odorless) can prove fatally poisonous. Proper ventilation and draft will prevent this from happening. If you smell smoke, turn up the air control lever setting, and thoroughly ventilate your dwelling. During future burns, be careful not to overload the stove with fuel, so you will not be tempted to constantly operate at a low air control setting.

Other causes of poor ventilation or draft are icing, exhaust fans, a blocked outside air inlet, and room air starvation. If your stove is sluggish and you get occa- sional odor, check these possibilities and increase the air flow in your home.

Caution: Always wear fire-resistant gloves to operate the stove. The air control is hot while in operation.
