A. Safety Reminders
When operating your Harman® PF-120 Pellet Furnace,
respect basic safety standards. Read these instructions
carefully before you attempt to operate the PF-120 Pellet
Furnace. Failure to do so may result in damage to property
or personal injury and may void the product warranty.
CAUTION: This appliance must be vented to the outside.
Due to high temperatures, this furnace should be placed out
of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.
Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high
surface temperatures and should stay away to avoid burn
to skin and/or clothing.
Young children should be carefully supervised when they are
in the same room as the furnace.
Clothing and other flammable materials should not be placed
on or near this furnace.
Installation and repair of this furnace should be done by a
qualified service person. The appliance should be inspected
before use and at least annually by a qualified service person.
More frequent cleaning will be required. It is imperative
that control compartments, burners, and circulating air
passageways of this furnace be kept clean.
Disposal of ashes
: Ashes should be placed in a steel
container with a tight-fitting lid and moved outdoor
immediately. The closed container of ashes should be placed
on a noncombustible 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. Other waste shall not be placed in
this container.
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 furnace should be
cleaned, remember if you change pellets it may change
how often you have to clean your furnace.
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 furnace, and evacuate the
residence. Before using the appliance, have the venting
system thoroughly inspected and replace any damaged
components.
