1.1 KEEP CHILDREN AWAY --
MAY CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS
CAUTION:
ALL SURFACES OF
STOVE ARE HOT. DO NOT
TOUCH! KEEP CHILDREN AWAY.
SERIOUS BURNS WILL RESULT
IF TOUCHED. THIS IS A HEAT
PRODUCING APPLIANCE. SERI-
OUS BURNS MAY RESULT IF
THE STOVE IS TOUCHED DUR-
ING FIRING.
1.2 FUEL/FIRING WARNINGS
DANGER! FIRE HAZARD! DO
NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLU-
IDS 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 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 or split and dried wood logs. A
chimney fire or heat exchanger fail-
ure could result. This includes large
amounts of corrugated boxes, wood
shavings, paper scraps, dried
Christmas trees, coke, garbage,
tires, or other burnable products.
When and if the chimney pipes or
connectors reach 500 degre e s
fahrenheit (maximum temperature),
the stove is being over-fired. We rec-
ommend the purchase of a Harman
Magnetic Te m p e r a t u re Gauge to
monitor the stove and stack temper-
atures 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 fol-
low these recommendations.
This stove consumes air when it is
burning. It is advisable that a win-
dow in the vicinity be opened slight-
ly while stove is burning if your
house is tightly sealed and insulated.
(Information contained in this man-
ual is manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions and if there is any difference
between our recommendations and
local code requirements, we suggest
following local code requirements.)
1.3 Curing Paint
During the first few hours of burn-
ing, a blue smoke will be observed
rising from the painted surface of
the stove. It is advisable to increase
the amount of fresh air in the room
during this breaking-in period. This
may be achieved by opening doors,
windows, etc. Don’t be alarmed,
this is normal.
1.4 Mobile Home
Harman Stoves are not approved or
recommended for mobile homes.
2.1 Heat Collector
Optional Heat Collector can be
attached to the top of the stove to
direct heat from the spiral chamber
and stove top into a duct. CAU-
TION: The duct rising off the heat
collector should be kept ten inches
away from combustible materials for
the first fifteen feet from the stove.
This includes floor joists, suspended
ceilings, etc. Clearances may be
reduced if fireproof material such as
asbestos board or sheet metal with
air space is used to protect com-
bustibles. The heat collector slides
on easily from the front of the unit.
