the stove
doors
Your stove has a large glass-paneled door for loading and
fire viewing, a separate smaller door for removing ashes and
a top loading door.
Front Door
Before opening, always check for wood, embers, or ash that
may be ready to fall out of the door.
To open the glass door, open the bypass damper first, then
lift the handle and pull out; to close the door, push the door
closed with the handle in the open position, then push the
handle down to engage the latch.
Ash Door
To open the ash door, lift up the handle and pull out. Close the
door by pushing in and pushing the handle all the way down.
Top Load Door
To open the top load door, open the bypass damper and then
lift to open the top load door.
All doors must be closed while the stove is in normal
operation, and the gaskets routinely examined for wear and
replaced when necessary. Good door seals are important
for maintaining control of the stove. Never operate with the
ash door open. Operating the stove with the ash door open,
or with a door inadequately sealed, could create a serious
overfiring condition (discussed later in this section).

at a tiMe
The glass used in your Oakwood is manufactured to exact
standards to withstand the high heat of the fire, but like all
glass, it must be treated with common sense and care. Never
abuse the glass by slamming the door shut or striking the
glass with a heavy object. If the glass is broken or damaged,
do not operate the stove until it has been replaced
(See instructions in the Maintenance section.)
grates
The Harman® Oakwood's unique grate system consists of
one flat bottom grate, and two front andirons. The bottom
grate has slots which allow the ash to fall into the ash pan
by passing a poker back and forth across the grate. The
andirons keep the fuel from coming into direct contact with
the glass, and keep hot coals and embers from spilling out
while reloading. Never build a fire directly against the glass.
The grates and andirons must remain in place at all times.
Do not tamper with or change the configuration of this grate
system.
general considerations
draft
Before you install and operate your Oakwood wood stove, please
read the entire contents of this manual. Pay particular attention
to the explanation of draft and its effect on stove performance in
the Installation section. By following the installation and
operating guidelines, you will ensure proper draft and gain
maximum efficiency and enjoyment from your stove.
Fuel
Your Oakwood burns wood very efficiently. Here are some
guidelines that will help you achieve the best performance.
Select only
dry, seasoned wood . Wood for burning should
never be exposed to rain or extremely damp conditions.
Hardwoods are favored because they are heavier and
contain more heating capacity (BTU’s) per load than do
softwoods. Fuel wood should be split and stored under cover
for “seasoning” - at least a year is recommended. Your stove
is not an incinerator - do not burn garbage, painted or treated
wood, plastic, or other debris.
Keep the area around the stove free from clutter. Keep
all combustibles, including fuel, beyond the code-required
clearance distance (48" or 1215 mm in the U.S., 1525 mm or
60" in Canada). Never store fuel in front of the stove where
it could interfere with door operation, safe loading, and ash
removal.
do not burn garbage or flammable fluids such as
gasoline, naptha, or engine oil.
