5.1 grATE SYSTEm
A.
heavy-duty cast iron grate system
- The functions of a
grate system are to support the coal and at the same time
provide air flow through the grates to the coal. Harman®
grates have a maximum amount of air flow to produce an
even burning fire. Another function is to remove the ash from
the coal bed by grinding, breaking, or shaking them through
the grates. Harman® grates provide a variable amount of
grinding action, this action is controlled by the movement
of a long shaker lever located on the left side of the stove.
b. burns three sizes of anthracite coal
- You can burn pea,
nut, or stove coal on these grates with no changes necessary.
C. warnings
1. ImPOrTANT!
When shaking is complete, turn the shaker
until the grates are flat and horizontal.
2. Keep the ash drawer empty!
Ash buildup can damage
your grates. If ash builds under and against the grates, it will
cause the air flow to be stopped or lessened. This condition
will cause warping of the grates.
NOTE: grates damaged in this way are easily detected by
the great amount of damage caused to them. Please read
your warranty to see limits of liability in cases of abuse.
3. Fresh ashes are hot!
Never put hot ashes in contact with
any flammable material. Store hot ashes in a metal container
outside of your home. Allow the ashes to cool then dispose
of properly.

wArNINgS & SPECIAl INSTruCTIONS
6.1 blower:
Your Harman® insert is provided with a blower system. This
system is not only designed to distribute heat throughout
your home but serves a critical need in the design system
of the insert. Extremely high heats are generated inside the
insert and can do much damage to the heat exchanger and
baffle system. Surface temperatures of 500 degrees F. can be
associated with internal temperatures as high as 1000 degrees
F. or more. Temperatures at these levels for extended periods
of time, can damage internal parts of the insert. Inserts, unlike
free standing stoves, have no way to release built up heat
into your home except through its internal passages. Free
standing stoves radiate their heat freely into the air.
Use of the blowers is not only critical to the life of the insert,
but much heat efficiency is lost if the design of the system is
defeated by not using the blowers. The heat which is trapped
in the fireplace may amount to as much as 75% of the total
output of the insert. This should make it easy to see that fuel
is being wasted if the blowers are not used.
Harman® has gone to great lengths to design this insert to
have the best balance of features, looks, and price available
in the market place today. We also stand strongly behind
our warranty as long as the warranty claim falls within the
stated liability of that warranty. Abuse and neglect are terms
outside the liability of Hearth & Home Technologies in matters
of warranty repair or replacement. To clarify, overfiring is
considered abuse and will not be eligible for warranty repair.
Non-use of the blower system is one of the major causes of
overfiring in insert use. An overfire situation is considered
to exist when the surface temperature of the insert exceeds
500 degrees F..
6.2
NOTE: It is your responsibility to follow all state and local
codes when installing your insert.
6.3
It is suggested that you have a qualified stove installer
install your insert.
6.4
It is your responsibility to make sure that proper clearances
to combustible materials is maintained when installing your
insert.
NOTE:
Safe clearance to combustibles is 36 inches. If you
have a flammable mantel and proper clearance cannot be
maintained, a metal shield must be installed to protect the
mantel.
6.5
Have your fireplace and chimney inspected by a qualified
chimney sweep to make sure your fireplace and chimney are
safe and in good operating condition.
6.6
Make sure your chimney has an adequate draft of 0.06
inches of water column on a draft meter.
