Maintenance - Harman PP38+ Installation & Operating Manual

Minimizing creosote:
Whenever wood is burned slowly, the potential exists for creosote to form in the venting. The chimney or
venting system should be inspected periodically throughout the heating season to determine if a creosote
buildup has occurred. If a significant layer of creosote has accumulated (3 mm or more), it should be removed
to reduce the risk of a chimney fire. A professional chimney sweep is recommended, since they would normally
have the correct equipment to ensure proper creosote removal.
if you experience a fire in the venting system, turn the stove to "OFF" to allow the unit to shut down. Call the
fire department, and be sure everyone is out of the residence. Before re-using the appliance, have the venting
system thoroughly inspected and replace any damaged components.
The glass in your Harman stove is a special ceramic glass.
• do not abuse the glass by striking or slamming the door.
• never burn the appliance if the door glass is cracked or broken.
• Replace onlY with Harman supplied glass.
Soot and/or fly-ash may accumulate on the viewing glass, and will occasionally need to be cleaned.
Clean the glass with a soft cloth and mild glass cleaner.
do not clean the glass when hot, and avoid the use of abrasive cleaners.

gasket materials prior to replacing the glass.

Apply the gasket material to the face of
the new glass. Lay the glass into the door,
making sure that the glass is contained
