B. Loss of Power

Harman  pellet  burning  appliances  rely  on  a  combustion 

blower to remove exhaust from the firebox. A power failure 

will  cause  the  combustion  blower  to  stop  running,  which 

may lead to exhaust see page into the room. Vertical rise in 

the venting system can help create natural draft, which may 

reduce the likelihood of exhaust leakage into the home.

Installation of a low-cost uninterruptible power supply (UPS) 

or battery backup system can help ensure the units shuts 

down without any minor smoke leakage into the home. 

Harman recommends the installation of one of these two 

systems for areas prone to power outages.

There is one Harman® approved UPS option for your 

appliance:

Uninterruptible Power Supply UPS

 battery back-ups are 

available online or at computer and office equipment stores. 

Your Harman® appliance with Rev E or later software 

available  beginning  in  November  2010  may  be  plugged 

directly into a Harman® approved UPS:

• 

TrippLite model INTERNET750U

 is tested and 

approved.  Other  brands  or  models  may  not  be 

compatible.

When power is lost, a fully charged UPS will power a safe, 

combustion  blower  only  shut-down.  Your  appliance  will 

pulse the blower every few seconds to clear exhaust until 

the fire is out.

 NOTE: The UPS provides safe shut-down 

only. It is not intended for continued operation.

•  A Inverter/Charger connects to a 12 volt deep cycle 

battery  that  will  run  your  appliance  for  up  to  eight  (8) 

hours. It includes a trickle charge feature that keeps your 

battery charged when power is available. 

NOTE:

 If the 

power is out for longer than battery life, smoke leakage 

may still occur unless your stove has been safely shut 

down.

For an approved Inverter/Charger refer to www.

harmanstoves.com.

Your appliance will recognize when power is restored. What 

happens depends on ESP temperature and whether it is 

equipped with automatic ignition:

 

In “Automatic” Mode

, units equipped with automatic 

ignition will respond to the set point and ESP temperature 

and resume normal operation.

• 

In “Idle” Mode

, or for units without automatic ignition:

•  If the ESP is cool, the appliance will remain shut 

down.

•  If the fire is out and the ESP is still warm, the feeder 

may restart. Since the fire is out, the ESP temperature 

will not rise. The unit will then shut-down, and may 

flash a six-blink status error. (See ESP error codes)

•  If  the  fire  is  still  burning,  it  will  resume  normal 

operation.

Contact  your  dealer  if  you  have  questions  about  UPS 

compatibility with your appliance.

IMPORTANT! :

 UPS or Battery Backup cannot prevent smoke 

leakage from an improperly maintained unit. Keep the venting 

system  clean  and  free  from  obstructions  and  maintain  all 

gaskets to keep an airtight seal.

Use only Harman

®

 approved battery back-up devices. 

Other products may not operate properly, can create 

unsafe conditions or damage your appliance.

CAUTION

!

Always keep appliance doors and hopper lid closed 

and latched during operation and during power 

failures to minimize risk of smoke or burn-back.

D. Emergency Manual Ignition

Harman

®

 pellet stoves and inserts should be lit using the 

automatic ignition system. This is the safest and most 

reliable way for igniting the unit.  In the event the automatic 

igniter is not functioning, the steps below may be followed 

to manually light the stove or insert in the “Constant Burn” 

mode. Manual lighting is for emergency purposes only, 

and the igniter should be repaired or replaced as soon as 

practical.

WARNING

!

Only  use  firestarter  commercially  marketed  for  pellet 

stoves  and  inserts,  including  wax  coated  wood  chips, 

pellet  starter  gel  and  pellet  igniter  blocks.  Use  of  any 

other type of firestarter is prohibited.

To  avoid  serious  injury  or  death  read  and  follow 

manufacturer’s warning and instructions for use of firestarter. 

Use of firestarter is only permitted when performing a cold 

start.
Never attempt to manually light a stove or insert that has 

been  operated  recently  and  is  not  at  room  temperature. 

If  automatic  ignition  was  attempted,  be  sure  to  give  the 

stove or insert at least 30 minutes or longer to cool to room 

temperature.

Be sure that the stove or insert is in the “Igniter - Disabled” 

mode of operation.

Once  all  the  precautions  have  been  taken,  follow  these 

steps:

1.  On  the  touch  control,  select  the  Burn  Mode  icon  then 

select “Constant Burn”.

2.  Arrow back and select the Igniter icon then select “Manual” 

for the ignition method. Select the Home Icon to go back 

to the Main Menu.

3.  Fill burn pot with pellets, only half way. (Do Not Over Fill).

4.  Add  firestarter  to  pellets  following  manufacturer’s 

instructions.

5.  Light pellet firestarter with a match, and close the door, 

touch the On/Off icon on the home screen. Operation will 

begin when the fire reaches the proper temperature.
