Starting First Fire
Igniter Switch to"AuTO"(up position)
Make sure the unit is plugged into a 120 VAC,
60 HZ electrical source. The power light should be the
only light lit.
To avoid unwanted smoke, be sure there is no fuel
or combustibles in the ash pan prior to lighting.
1. Turn mode Selector to "OFF".
2. Fill hopper with pellets.

3. Clean burn pot with scraper, if necessary.

4. If starting after an empty hopper, turn Feed
Adjuster to "TEST" (for one 60 second cycle).

This
will purge pellets into the auger tube and also allow you
to check the motors for operation. NOTE: The auger
motor will not operate with the view door or ash
pan door open.

5. Turn Feed Adjuster to #.
6. Flip the Igniter Switch up into the "AUTO"
position.
7. Turn the Temperature dial to desired room
temperature.
8. Turn mode Selector to Room Temperature or Stove

9. Fill hopper with pellets and remove ashes as
required.

Automatic Start up
1. Fines are small pieces of broken pellets (sawdust). Fines do not
flow easily and often build up on the hopper funnel bottom angles.
These fines can be pushed into the feeder opening and then fill the
hopper with pellets. As the system works, they will be burned.
2. The "TEST" cycle will operate the feeder motor for exactly one
minute. Turning to "TEST" again and again may purge too much
fuel into the burn pot causing excessive smoke on start-up.
3. The firebox low pressure switch will not allow the auger motor
or the igniter element to operate if the view door or the ash pan
door are open.
4. Adjust Feed Rate. If this is your first fire or you are trying different
pellets, set the feed adjuster to #4, Fig. 1. This is a conservative
number and will probably need to be increased. After you know a
feed rate setting that works well, use that setting. Remember, if your
feed rate is too high you may waste fuel.
5. This is usually a weekly maintence procedure. Cleaning the burn
pot with the scraper with a small amount of new fuel in the bottom
is not a problem. First, scrape the ashes on the front of the burn pot
into the ash pan. Then scrape the holed surface downward into the
burn pot. When the stove is ignited these scrapings will be pushed
out by the feeder.
6. The ash pan can hold the ashes from approximately 1 ton of
premium fuel. This means the ashes will only need to be emptied
a few times a year.
7. Setting the feed adjuster # for maximum burn: With the unit
burning in "AUTO", turn to "Stove Mode" and put the fan on "H".
Set the Temperature Dial to #7. Allow the unit to burn for about 30
minutes and check ash on front of burn pot. Fig. 2. If the ash line is
larger than 1", turn the feed adjuster from #4 to #5. Allow another
30 minutes of burn time and check again. If , at #6 setting, a 1" or
less ash bed is not obtainable, it is not a problem. The 1" ash bed
is only a maximum burn rate and at most normal settings the ash
bed will be larger.
"NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN
FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR
SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR "FRESHEN UP " A
FIRE IN THIS HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS
WELL AWAY FROM THE HEATER WHILE IN USE".

battery back up
If a power outage is expected, switch the toggle switch
to Manual Mode. The Harman 502H Battery Back Up
is incapable of powering the igniter. If an automatic
ignition is attempted while the stove is being powered
by the battery back up, it may cause damage to both
the stove and the battery back up unit. The Harman
512H Battery Back Up will power ignition however,
battery life is reduced.
CAuTION
The stove is hot while in operation.
Keep children, clothing and furniture away.
Contact may cause skin burns.
