Maintenance
Minimizing creosote:
Whenever wood is burned slowly, the potential exists for creosote
to form in the venting. The chimney or venting system should be
inspected periodically throughout the heating season to determine if
a creosote buildup has ocurred. If a significant layer of creosote has
accumulated (3mm or more), it should be removed to reduce the risk
of a chimney fire. A professional chimney sweep is recommended,
since they would normally have the correct equipment to ensure
proper creosote removal.
if you experience a fire in the venting system,
turn the stove to
"OFF" to allow the unit to shut down. Call the fire department, and be
sure everyone is out of the residence. Before re-using the appliance,
have the venting system thoroughly inspected and replace any
damaged components.
The glass in your Harman stove is a special ceramic glass.

glass replacement
carefully
remove all remaining glass

the glass.
Lay the door face down on a flat
surface. Remove the glass retainers
and screws. Apply the gasket material
to the face of the new glass. Lay the
glass into the door, making sure that
the glass is contained within the chan-
nels and raised areas of the door itself.
Lay the glass retainers into position
and install the screws. Tighten each
screw evenly to avoid making any
stress points.
