Introduction

The  Harman  TL200  meets  the  U.S.  Environmental

Protection Agency’s emission limits for wood heat-

ers sold after July 1, 1990.

SAFETY NOTICE:  IF THIS HARMAN EXCEP-
TION MODEL TL200 W OOD STOVE IS NOT
PROPERLY INSTALLED.  A HOUSE FIRE MAY
RESULT. FOR YOUR SAFETY, FOLLOW THE
INSTALLATION DIRECTIONS CONTACT LO-
CAL BUILDING OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT
RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLATION INSPEC-
TION REQUIREMENTS IN YOUR AREA.

Thank you for purchasing the Harman Exception Wood Stove. With the Exception you will notice even heat throughout
your home and long burn times. This is possible because of our exclusive Harman Afterburner Combustion System
which takes unburned gases into the afterburner chamber where they are mixed with air and burned at very high
temperatures.

The Harman Exception was designed to make burning wood easier by adding a top load door which allows more wood
to fit into the large firebox. The Exception's smoke free design draws smoke down through the stove, not into your room.
The top load door also comes in handy when cooking on the optional cooking grill. Simply place the grill in the top load
opening and grill great tasting meats and vegetables on the Harman Exception.

The Harman Exception exceeds safety standards. Warnock Hersey has tested and approved the Exception under the
following standards: UL 1482. CAN/ULC-S627, ANSI/UL 737 and EPA (Phase II). The Exception is also approved for
use in mobile homes.

We strongly recommend this unit be installed by a Harman trained dealer. If you choose to install it yourself, please
consult your Harman dealer for venting and positioning advice.

Be aware of your local building codes, permits and insurance that may be required in your area.

This Harman Stove is covered by the Harman Gold Warranty, the best warranty offered in the hearth industry. Our
warranty shows our confidence in the design and manufacturing of our stoves. See page 23 for warranty information.
