INTRODUCTION

The Harman Clarity Direct Vent 929DV Gas Heater is a listed gas-fired direct vent room heater tested by Inchcape Testing/Warnock Hersey to ANSI standard Z21.88-2002, CSA 2.33-M02, and CAN/CGA-2.17-M91.

The installation of the Clarity Direct Vent Gas Heater must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local

codes, with National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 —

latest edition and CAN 1 B1-149.1 and .2 Installation Code.

Also for use in mobile (manufactured) homes after home is sited.

Mobile (manufactured) home installations must adhere to the current edition of Title 24 CFR, part 3280, or CSA Z240.4.

CAUTION: This appliance must be vented to the outside.

Installation and repair of the Clarity Direct Vent Gas Heater should be done by a qualified service person. The appliance should be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified 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 installation 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. Observing required clearances to combustible materials, the proximity to a safe chimney or venting system location, 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 flow is also desirable to maximize the heating effectiveness of the heater. In many cases, this is a central location within the building.

WARNING: If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion

may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

FOR YOUR SAFETY Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this

or any other appliance.

Requirements for Terminating the Venting

WARNING: Venting terminals must not be recessed

into a wall or siding.

In addition, the following must be observed:

A. The clearance above grade, or a veranda, porch, deck

or balcony must be a minimum of 12" (30 cm).

B. The clearance to a window or door that may be opened

must be a minimum of 12" (30 cm).

C. A 12" (30 cm) clearance to a permanently closed window is recommended to prevent condensation on the window.

D. The vertical clearance to a ventilated soffit located above the terminal within a horizontal distance of 2 feet (60 cm) from the center-line of the terminal must be a minimum of 18" (46 cm).

E. The clearance to an unventilated soffit must be a minimum of 12" (30 cm).

F. The clearance to an outside corner is 9" (23 cm).

G. The clearance to an inside corner is 12" (30 cm).

1,2

M. The clearance under a veranda, porch, deck or balcony must be a minimum of 12 inches (30 cm).

1,3

As specified in CAN 1 B1-149 Installation Codes (currend edition). Note: local codes or regulations may require different clearances.

A vent shall not terminate directly above a side-walk or paved driveway which is located between two single family dwellings and serves both dwellings.

Only permitted if veranda, porch, deck, or balcony is fully open on a minimum of 2 sides beneath the floor.

Connecting To An Existing Chimney

The Clarity may be connected to an existing ma-

sonry chimney by using a Simpson Dura-Vent con-

version kit #934.

With this kit and a 4" flex linner in the chimney the flue gases exit through the 4" linner and the outside air comes down the chimney in the space between the chimney and the linner. This method allows you to install the Clarity your chimney and still get the added efficiency provided by direct venting.

The use of an existing chimney as an air intake is not covered under the ANSI Z21.50-1996. CGA 2.22-M96 test methods and the resulting ITS/WHI product certfication: The code Authority Having Jurisdiction must be consulted prior to proceeding.

ASSEMBLY

The Clarity is shipped from the factory with the log set packed inside the firebox. 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 spring-loaded 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.

Remove and Unwrap the Log Set

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

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

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.

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

WARNING: Do not abuse the Clarity's glass by striking, slamming, or similar trauma. Do not operate the Clarity Gas Heater with the glass panel removed, 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 qualified service person.

Installing the Burner System Module

The burner system module may be installed into the firebox as an integrated unit, and it may help to have an assistant who can assist in guiding the components into position and in making sure that the module does not sit on any wiring components.

Hold the module at a slight angle, then lower it through the opening and rotate upright until it is in position.

Reach underneath and install one of the wing nuts, finger tight. Then check to see that the module is seated correctly.

A sealing gasket affixed to the bottom of the module's base plate will cause the log support plate to be elevated slightly above the plane of the firebox bottom plate. When the two wing nuts are tightened, this gasket will be compressed and a correct fit will be indicated by the log support plate becoming flush with the bottom of the firebox.

Install wing nut on threaded stud

ASSEMBLY

With the module installed and secured, reach through the side access ports and plug in the electrical connections. (Two AMP Mate-N-Lok connectors).

The two electrical connectors may be reached through the side access port

Install the Branch

Orient the branch with the forked end toward the left rear of the stove and slip it over the two locator pins, one on top of the back log and the other on the top of the center log.

Secure the Glass Front

NOTE: The glass front is heavy. Lift it carefully to prevent damage. Center the glass on the opening and suspend it in place by placing the the tab hooks over the top edge of the opening. Loosen the wing nuts that hold the spring-loaded levers in place. Press the glass slightly against the stove to confirm that it seats properly, then press it firmly against the front while pulling the levers forward to engage them. Tighten the wing nuts.

Install the Back Log and Back Brick Panel

These two components are installed as a single piece. Rest the back brick panel on the shelf located on the back side of the back log, and center it. Holding the two pieces as a single unit, tilt the top forward slightly and manuever it

over the top of the rear burner—taking care that the top

corners clear the front opening. Place it snugly against the back wall and center it.

Install the Side Brick Panels

These slide into place along each side and are held by friction. The notch in each panel faces the back. Install one side, and then the other.

Install the Ember Strips

The ember strips rest against the front of the firebox and should fit snugly. Guide them toward you and to the outside until they fit snugly. Check the air slot in the inside of the ember strips to confirm that they do not obstruct it.

Install the Center Log

The center log goes all the way to the back and should be centered. When properly positioned, there should be an even gap along the front of the center burner in the cavity in the log. A small portion of the log support frame will be revealed.

The center log has a round viewing port in the left end through which the pilot can be observed.

The complete log set with all logs in the correct position.
