When installing and operating your Harman Accentra
Pellet Stove, respect basic safety standards. Read these
instructions carefully before you attempt to install or oper-
ate the Accentra. Failure to do so may result in damage
to property or personal injury and may void the product
warranty.
Several issues must be addressed when selecting a
suitable location for your Accentra Pellet Stove. Observing
required clearances to combustible materials, the proximity
to a safe chimney or venting system, and the accessibil-
ity of electrical supply must all be considered. In addition,
selecting a location that takes advantage of the building's
natural air flow is also desirable to maximize the heating
effectiveness of the heater. In many cases, this is a central
location within the building.
Place the stove on a noncombustible floor surface or floor
protector. This can be a minimum of a 20 gauge sheet metal
plate, ceramic tile with grouted joints, a UL listed stove
board, or a Harman Cast Iron floor protector

if measured from the
base plate front edge.) The rear edge of the floor protection
can be flush with the cast base plate rear edge.
Place the stove away from combustible walls at least as
far as shown in figures 10, 11, & 13. Minimum clearance
to a ceiling above the heater is 24".
Note that the clearances shown are minimum for safety
but do not leave much room for access when cleaning or
service is needed.
CAuTION
The stove is hot while in operation.
Keep children, clothing and furniture away.
