P68 Pellet Stove
Your new Harman Stove viewing door gasket has
been factory set, however over a period of time some
minor adjustment may be necessary. The easiest way
to check the adjustment of the door gasket is to take
a small piece of paper (when the stove is not burning)
and open the door, place the paper between the face
of stove body and the gasket at the top center of the
door, close the door. You should have a slight amount
of resistance when you try to pull the paper out. Repeat
this process on the bottom center of the door. If the
paper is loose then some adjustment is necessary.
To adjust the door, the stove must be turned off and
cold. Open the door, loosen the 2 bolts shown (see
Fig. 37) and bump the latch adjuster (Fig. 38) toward
the back of stove, snug bolts and test for proper seal
as described above. Once the proper seal is attained,
open the door and finish tightening the bolts. If proper
adjustment cannot be accomplished, then a new gasket
should be installed.
Over a period of time the gasket will wear and a new
gasket will have to be installed. To install a new gasket
you must remove the old gasket. After the gasket is
removed the gasket channel should be free of all loose
particles. The gasket cement used to hold the gasket
in place is RTV (HIGH TEMPERATURE) silicone. Put
a bead of RTV silicone in the bottom of the gasket
channel, then install the new gasket and close the door.
Allow to dry for several hours before lighting the stove.
After the RTV silicone has cured, the door will have to
be adjusted for proper sealing. If you have just replaced
the door gasket, the latch adjuster must be pulled
towards the front of the stove. Follow the procedure
mentioned above.
door hinge retainers:
Some stoves have experienced the door pins working
up and out of the load door hinges during normal
opening and closing of the door. To stop this from
occurring, there are two 3/8” retainer clips that are in
the hardware pack sent with the stove. They are to be
installed onto the load door hinge pins after the trim has
been installed and the door is mounted onto the stove
body and ready for use.
To remove the load door for any service or to change
the trim, the retainer clips must be removed and may be
damaged. Replacements can be ordered through your
Harman Dealer (Part #3-31-94807031) or a 3/8” retainer
clip may be purchased at your local hardware store.
