Fuel/Firing Warnings
Danger
Do not use chemicals or uids to start or
“freshen up” a re. Severe body burns or a
re in your home could result.
Do not burn garbage, gasoline, thinners,
drain oil or engine oil, kerosene, or fuel oil,
etc. An explosion, a house re, or personal
injury could result. Keep all such liquids well
away from the stove while in use.
Never burn materials other than coal. A chim-
ney re or heat exchanger failure could result.
This includes large amounts of corrugated
boxes, wood shavings, paper scraps, garbage
or other burnable materials.
Curing Paint
During the rst few hours of burning, a blue smoke
will be observed rising from the painted surface of the
stove. It is advisable to increase the amount of fresh
air (open window) in the room during this breaking-in
period. Do not be alarmed, this is normal and does not
cause harm.
Mobile Homes
This Harman Stove is not approved for installation in
mobile/manufactured homes.
SPECIAL WARNING: NEVER OPERATE YOUR
STOVE WITH THE FIRE OR ASH DOOR OPEN!
Keep Ash Pan Empty.
Excessive ash buildup will block the airow around
the grates. This, and only this, will cause the grates to
warp and sag. Neglect is not covered by your stove’s
warranty.
If chimney pipes or connectors reach 500 degrees fahrenheit (maximum temperature), the
stove is being over-red. We recommend the
purchase of a Magnetic Temperature Gauge
to monitor the stove and stack temperatures
relative to the amount of draft the customer
permits the stove to operate.
It has been veried that creosote will ignite
at 650 degrees fahrenheit. It is the owner’s
responsibility to follow these recommendations.
This stove consumes air when it is burning.
if your house is tightly sealed and insulated,
it is advisable that a window in the vicinity be
opened slightly while the stove is burning.
Information contained in this manual is manufacturer’s recommendations and if there is
any difference between our recommendations
and local code requirements, we suggest following local code requirements.
