Introduction

The Harman Clarity 929BV Vented Gas Heater is a

listed gas-red vented room heater tested by Intertek

Testing/Warnock Hersey to ANSI standard Z21.882002, CSA 2.33-M02, and CAN/CGA-2.17-M91.

The installation of the Clarity Vented Gas Heater must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the current edition of National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 — latest edition and CAN 1-B1-149.1 and .2 Installation Code.

The Clarity 929BV is not for use in mobile homes.

CAUTION: This appliance must be vented to the outside.

Installation and repair of the Clarity Vented Gas

Heater should be done by a qualied service person.

The appliance should be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualied service person. More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc. It is imperative that control compartments, burners, and circulating air passageways of the Clarity be kept clean.

When operating your Harman Clarity Gas Heater, respect basic safety standards. Read these instructions carefully before you attempt to operate the heater. Failure to do so may result in damage to property or personal injury and may void the product warranty.

Consult with your local building code agency and insurance representative before you begin your instal lation to ensure compliance with local codes, including the need for permits and follow-up inspections.

Several issues must be addressed when selecting a suitable location for your Clarity Gas Heater. Observ ing required clearances to combustible materials, the proximity to a safe chimney or venting system,and the accessibility of the gas and electrical supply must all be considered. In addition, selecting a location that

takes advantage of the building's natural air ow is

also desirable to maximize the heating effectiveness of the heater. In many cases, this is a central location within the building.

Adequate combustion and ventilation air must be provided.

Due to high temperatures, the Clarity Vented Gas

Heater should be located out of trafc and away

from furniture and draperies.

Children and adults should be alerted to the haz-

ards of high surface temperatures and should stay

away to avoid burns or clothing ignition.

Young children should be carefully supervised

when they are in the same room as the Clarity

Vented Gas Heater.

Clothing or other ammable materials should

not be placed on or near the Clarity Vented Gas Heater.

INSTALLATION

CLEARANCES

The following clearances to combustibles must be

observed:

Unit to left sidewall 9" (230 mm) Unit to right sidewall 9" (230 mm) Unit corner to walls 4" (100 mm)

Rear of unit to back wall 3" (75 mm) (measured from rear of draft hood to wall) Unit to alcove ceiling 18" (460 mm) Maximum alcove depth 14" (355 mm)

Clearance from corner of unit to walls

Clearance to alcove ceiling

Sidewall Clearance

Clearance to Back wall

Maximum alcove depth

In addition to these clearances, adequate accessibility clearance for servicing and proper operation must be maintained.

Do not in any way obstruct the combustion air inlets that are located under the heater.

If this appliance is installed directly on carpeting, tile

or other combustible material other than wood ooring the

appliance shall be installed on a metal or wood panel ex tending at least the full width and depth of the appliance.

VENTING

Use Only Approved Venting

The Clarity gas heater is tested and listed for connection

to a 4" (100 mm) listed Class B venting system.

If the unit is installed to vent through an approved masonry chimney or a factory-built chimney system, an approved Class B chimney liner must be used.

Observe local codes when venting the Clarity. If no local codes exist, follow the current edition of ANSI Z223.1 and CAN1- B149 installation codes.

Do not connect the venting to the ue of a chimney that

serves a separate solid-fuel burning appliance.

The venting manufacturer's installation instructions must be followed exactly.

IMPORTANT: Because of the high efciency and low ue gas temperatures of this appliance, it is important that it be connected to a well-sealed and efcient venting system

which is capable of registering a negative pressure while the stove is in operation.

The most efcient venting systems are those that have a

minimum number of bends and minimal horizontal runs.

The Clarity gas heater is equipped with a thermally acti vated vent safety switch that will shut down the main burner if the heater is not properly venting. The safety switch will automatically reset after the heater has cooled down.

The switch will continue to cycle off and on until the venting problem is corrected. If you are unable to correct the venting problem, seek expert advice from your Harman dealer or installer.

DO NOT DISCONNECT OR BYPASS THE VENT SAFETY SWITCH.

WARNING: Operation of this heater when not connected to a properly installed and maintained venting system or tampering with the vent safey shutoff system

can result in carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and pos sible death.

The Clarity gas heater is equipped with its own internal draft hood so no additional external draft hood is required. The heater should be installed so that the draft hood is in the same atmospheric pressure zone as the air inlets to the heater.

TEST FOR FLUE SPILLAGE

A spillage test should always be made at the completion of the installation.

1. Start all exhaust fans in the home and then close all

doors and windows in the room containing the heater.

2. Light the heater and allow it to run for 5 minutes on the high output setting. If the convection air blower is installed, it should be turned off for the test.

3. Hold a match or other source of smoke near the draft hood outlet on the upper back of the stove.

4. If the smoke is not drawn in, turn off the heater and determine the cause of the lack of draft. If necessary, seek expert advice.

For sites with swirling or turbulent wind conditions, a

wind cap may solve the problem.

ASSEMBLY

The Clarity is shipped from the factory with the log set packed inside the rebox. To prepare the stove for installation, the log set must be unpacked, the appropriate burner system module for either natural gas or propane installed, and the logs installed.

Removing the Glass Front

NOTE: The glass front is heavy. Be prepared for its weight when lifting it to avoid damage during removal.

The wing doors on each side are held closed by magnets. Push on each door to open it. Loosen the wing nut on each of the two levers. Grasp each lever and push to the rear to disengage the front. To keep the levers in the disengaged position, tighten the wing nuts. Lift the glass front slightly and remove it from the stove. Set the glass aside in a safe place where it will not be damaged.

WARNING: Do not abuse the Clarity's glass by

striking, slamming, or similar trauma. Do not oper-

ate the Clarity Vented Gas Heater with the glass panel removed,

The front is released when levers on the left and right sides are pushed to the rear

The log set components are shipped from the factory individually wrapped and packed inside the stove. Take them out of the stove, then carefully remove the wrapping. Handle the logs gently as they may be damaged easily.

cracked or broken. Use only glass supplied by Harman and approved for use with this heater. Do not use substitute materials. Replacement of the panel should be done

by a licensed or qualied service person.

Remove and Unwrap the Log Set

As shown in the photo above right, the log set consists of a back log (1), a center log that has a pilot-viewing port in the left end (2), ember strip (3), and a branch that rests on top (4).

In addition, there are two side brick panels and a back brick panel.
