Maintenance & Service
When properly maintained, your stove will give you many
years of trouble-free service. Contact your dealer to answer
questions regarding proper operation, trouble-shooting and
service for your appliance. Visit www.harmanstoves.com to
find a dealer. We recommend annual service by a qualified
service technician.
Note: Do not use a household vacuum to clean the stove.
We recommend that you use a shop vacuum that is equipped
with a fine dust filter called a HEPA filter or a vacuum specially
made for fly ash and soot. USING A VACUUM WHICH IS
NOT EQUIPPED WITH A FINE DUST FILTER WILL BLOW
FLY ASH AND SOOT OUT INTO THE ROOM.
NOTE: THE STOVE MUST BE COMPLETELY OUT BEFORE
YOU VACUUM THE STOVE. LIVE PELLET EMBERS, IF
SUCKED INTO THE VACUUM, WILL LIGHT THE VACUUM
ON FIRE AND MAY ULTIMATELY CAUSE A HOUSE FIRE.

B. General Maintenance
Types of Fuel
The type of fuel you are burning will dictate how often you have
to clean your burnpot.
If the fuel you are burning has a high dirt or ash content , it may
be necessary to clean the burnpot more than once a day.
Dirty fuel will cause clinkers to form in the burnpot. A clinker is
formed when dirt, ash or a non-burnable substance is heated
to 2000°F (1093°C) and becomes glass-like.
