The End Of Season Shut Down List.
1. Allow the stove to run out of coal in order to
extinguish the fire. This saves having to remove
the coal from the hopper manually and most
importantly, drives the moisture out of the stove
that may be present in the coal.
2. Perform all the steps of the 3 month mainte-
nance list.
3. Clean the glass as shown in fig.21.
4. Empty Fines Tray and inspect the area for rust
and corrosion
5. Make sure hopper is empty of wet or damp coal
at bottom where Pusher Block is located.
6. Remove the FSS Tube from the rear of the
firebox (fig.27) and clean the brass fitting going
into the firebox with a pipe cleaner. Reconnect tube.
7. The FSS line filter can be changed annually to
insure proper flow, however, it may only be neces-
sary if the filter is discolored.
8. Remember to cover the flue pipe over the summer
to block out rodents and birds. Place a note inside
the unit to remind yourself or others not to forget to
uncover the flue pipe before lighting a fire.
Prevent Rust
Summertime moisture and high humidity are your units
enemy. A clean unit will have less fly ash and fines
to absorb moisture and cause rust and corrosion.

Allowing wet coal to remain in the hopper of cold
stove will promote the formation of rust and corro-
sion.
Annual Service
It is recommended that your DVC500 is serviced by
your trained Harman dealer between season shut
down and season start-up. Several checks that
require special equipment will be performed as part
of the service. Y ou may choose to have your dealer
perform the end of season maintenance in the same
visit.
