maintenance - Cleaning glass on view door
The glass used in your stove is manufactured to exact standards to withstand the high heat of the fire, but like
all glass, it must be treated with common sense and care. Never abuse the glass by slamming the door shut or
striking the glass with a heavy object. If the glass is broken or damaged, do not operate the stove until it has
been replaced.
glass - replacement
If the stove’s glass is cracked or broken, you must replace it before operating your stove. Remove pieces
carefully. Replace glass only with Harman replacement glass;
do not use substitutes.
Carefully remove damaged glass, gasket material, and hold down clips (set aside).
Install the self adhesive 1/4"” gasket material around the front face of the glass. Set the glass panel and gasket
gently onto the door. Install the hold down clips and tighten with bolts.
glass - Cleaning
Sometimes it will be necessary to clean accumulated ash from the glass surface; allowing this ash to remain
on the glass for long periods can result in “etching” due to the acidity of the ash. Never clean the glass while it is
hot, and
do not
use abrasive substances. Wash the surface with cool water, and rinse thoroughly. You may wish
to use a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for use on stove glass. In any case, dry thoroughly before
relighting your stove.
disposal of ashes
: Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of
ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials,
pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should
be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
Soot and fly ash:
Formation and need for removal. The products of combustion contain small particles of fly ash.
The fly ash will collect in the exhaust venting system and will restrict the flow of the flue gases. Pellet fuels have
different ash contents
depending on what type of wood has been used to make the pellets. we recommend
to clean the system after approximately 1 ton of pellets have been burned and judge from that how often
the stove should be cleaned, remember if you change pellets it may change how often you have to clean
your stove.
When burning wood slowly, the potential exists for creosote to form. The venting system should be inspected
periodically throughout the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If a significant layer
of creosote has accumulated (3mm or more), it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire. If a fire
occurs, call the fire department, shut down the stove, and evacuate the residence. Before using the appliance,
have the venting system thoroughly inspected and replace any damaged components.
