Harman 300i Wood Insert
9
For Installation In Masonry Fireplace Only
Medium-High Burn Rate - air control set between the
second and third notch. This setting may be used to burn
wood that is damp in order to keep it burning, but will
consume seasoned, dry wood very fast.
High Burn Rate - air control fully to the right. This setting is
for refueling and starting a fire. Continuous burning at this
setting will cause premature failure of consumable parts
such as the "FireDome and/or the firebricks. If continuous
burning at maximum setting is needed, the appliance is
too small for the space you are heating, or the wood fuel
is too wet.
Note: At minimum burn rates the glass may get
dirty but will clean itself off again at higher burn rates.
Operating as a Fireplace.
The 300i is tested and approved to be burned with the
front load door open and the
damper open
. In this mode of
operation you get a true fire sound as well as appearance. Due
to the crackling and popping of burning wood it is necessary
to place the optional screen over the door opening. This
prevents sparks from entering the room just like a screen over
a fireplace. Load only small amounts of fuel in this mode.
The insert is hot while in operation. Keep children,
clothing and furniture away.
Contact may cause skin burns.
Overfiring
Avoid overfiring your insert. Overfiring is a
potentially hazardous situation which can lead to overheating
of combustible materials, damage to the insert, and in extreme
cases, cause a fire. Overfiring is caused by:
1. Too much air flowing through the insert too
quickly.
2. You may have positioned the primary air control
lever too far to the right.
3. You may have, inadvertently, left the damper open.
4. Not keeping up with routine maintenance,
such as checking door gaskets for wear.
Overfiring results in excessive fuel consumption, and may
cause parts of the insert to glow red. If you notice signs of
overfiring, reduce the air supply to the fire, and review the
Maintenance section in this manual.
Never leave the insert unattended with the door open.
Overfiring may result.
In the event of a chimney fire, call your local fire
department; make sure everyone is safely out of the house.
Reduce the air intake of the insert as much as possible using
the air control lever; close the bypass damper to further
restrict air flow. Do not throw water on the fire; this can cause
insert damage and create an even more dangerous situation.
Have your chimney professionally cleaned and inspected
before resuming burning in your insert.
Always remember to open the bypass damper when you
are loading, this allows the exhaust gases to pass directly
into the flue outlet and reduces the chance of smoke spillage
into the room.
Reloading: Once you have prepared and maintained
a thick charcoal bed, and the secondary combustion is
established, you should be able to reload the stove at any time
by simply opening the bypass damper, then the load door,
add fuel and close the door then the damper. Depending on
coal bed size, load size and moisture content of fuel, you may
need to burn for a short period with the damper open and an
increased air control setting.
Removing Ashes: Do not allow ashes to accumulate more
than 2-3 inches in depth. Excessive ash buildup can restrict
air flow through the firebox. This will prevent proper venting
of exhaust gases.
Ashes should be placed in a steel container with a tight
fitting lid. The container of ashes should be moved outside
immediately, and placed on a noncombustible floor or
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
completely cooled. Other waste shall not be placed in
this container.
Never use the ash disposal container for other trash. Wood
ash can be added to your garden or compost
Before opening the door for ash removal, open the bypass
damper. Using a fire rake, scrape the hot coals to one side of
the firebox and the ashes to the other. Scoop the ashes out into
the metal container as described above. Once the majority of
ashes are removed, spread the hot coals back out across the
bottom of the firebox and add the appropriate sized fuel to
retain the fire. Close the door before taking the ashes outside
for safe disposal.
Blower.
To regulate the speed of the convection blowers, adjust
from low to high by turning the knob located on the blower
cord. The blower speed should be matched to the air control
lever setting.
When the air setting is low, the blower should always be
at the minimum setting. At higher settings, above the first air
slide indicator notch, the blower may be set to your desired
comfort level. Be sure that the blower cord does not run under,
over, above or in front of the insert.
The following guidelines for air settings can be used for
wood burning; as you become familiar with your insert, you
will know which settings best heat your home.
Minimum Burn Rate
- air control fully to the left.
Medium-Low Burn Rate - air control at or below the first
notch.
