Operation

The Stove

Doors

Your stove has a large glass-paneled door for loading and fire viewing, a separate smaller door for removing ashes and a top loading door. To open the glass door, turn the handles clockwise and pull out; to close the door, return the handles to an open 9 o'clock closed 6 o'clock, and push in to engage the latch while turning the handles counterclockwise. To open the ash door, lift up the handle and pull out. Close the door by pushing in and pushing the handle all the way down. To open the top load door move the wooden knob located on the left side of the stove front and upward until it locks the top open. Page 6.

If the latch in either of your TLC 2000 doors needs ad- justment, follow the instructions given in the Maintenance sec- tion.

All doors must be closed while the stove is in normal operation, and the gaskets routinely examined for wear and replaced when necessary. The glass door may be left open and the opening covered with a screen when operating as a fireplace. Good door seals are important for maintaining con- trol of the stove. Operating the stove with the ash door open, or with a door inadequately sealed, could create a serious overfiring condition (discussed later in this section).

NEVER OPERATE WITH MORE THAN ONE DOOR OPEN AT A TIME

The glass used in your TLC 2000 is manufactured to exact standards to withstand the high heat of the fire, but like all glass, it must be treated with common sense and care. Never abuse the glass by slamming the door shut or striking the glass with a heavy object. If the glass is broken or dam- aged, do not operate the stove until it has been replaced (See instructions in the Maintenance section.)

Grates

The Harman TLC 2000’s unique grate system consists of two Cast iron grates linked together to operate simaltainiously when the external shaker handle is moved.

The purpose of the grate system is to to support the coal bed while air flows up through the grates to the burning coal. The grates are also used to remove ashes from the bot- tom of the coal bed while the fire is burning. This is accom- plished by shaking the shaker lever back and forth with short choppy strokes. This causes the ashes to fall through the grates into the ash pan. It is the special design of the Harman Grates that allows longer intervals between refueling and shaking the grates.

Fuels for USA

Wood:

Wood may be burned in the TLC2000 for the purpose of igniting coal.

Wood may also be burned with the glass door open and a screen in place to prevent sparks from escaping. This pro- vides a real open fire atmosphere.

Coal:

Anthracite coal, pea or nut size, is the primary fuel for which the TLC2000 is designed. Bituminous coal may also be burned but the results will vary do to the variation in bituminus coal from state to state.

Fuels for Canada

Wood:

Wood may be burned as a primary fuel. This is because U.S. EPA regulations do not apply in Canada.

Wood may also be burned with the glass door open and a screen in place to prevent sparks from escaping.

Coal:

Anthracite coal, pea or nut size, may also be burned as a primary fuel for the TLC2000. Bituminous coal may also be burned but the results will vary do to the variation in bituminus coal from province to province.
