Fuel/Firing warnings

danger

Do not use chemicals or fluids to start or 

“freshen up” a fire. Severe body burns or a 

fire 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 fire, 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 fire or heat exchanger failure could result. 

This  includes  large  amounts  of  corrugated 

boxes, wood shavings, paper scraps, garbage 

or other burnable materials.

If chimney pipes or connectors reach 500 de-

grees fahrenheit (maximum temperature), the 

stove is being over-fired. 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  verified  that  creosote  will  ignite 

at  650  degrees  fahrenheit.  It  is  the  owner’s 

responsibility  to  follow  these  recommenda-

tions.

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 man-

ufacturer’s  recommendations  and  if  there  is 

any difference between our recommendations 

and local code requirements, we suggest fol-

lowing local code requirements.

SAFETY CONSIdErATIONS

Curing Paint

During the first 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 airflow around 

the grates. This, and only this, will cause the grates to 

warp and sag. Neglect is not covered by your stove’s 

warranty.
