    The Harman Exception was designed to make burning wood easier by adding a top load door which allows more wood to fit into the large firebox. The Exception's smoke free design draws smoke down through the stove, not into your room.

    Close the door by pushing in and push- ing the handle all the way down. To open the top load door move the wooden knob located on the left side of the stove front and upward until it locks the top open.
  • Page 6 Combustion in your Harman Exception is controlled very precisely. During a wood fire, primary combustion air enters the bottom of the stove, is directed up to the top of the load door and then down past the glass, finally enter- ing the combustion chamber.
  • Page 7: Building A Fire

    Air Control The air control lever is located directly below the ash lip of the stove. Using this lever you will be able to vary the amount of air delivered to the fire, creating a range of heat outputs. The low heat output setting is to the left, and high is to the far right.
  • Page 8 Operation Operating as a Fireplace The TL200 is tested and approved to be burned with the front load door open and the damper open. In this mode of operation you get a true fire sound as well as appear- ance.
  • Page 9: Maintenance

    The inside of the fire chamber should be exam- ined for damage to the refractory lining material, grates, casting or Afterburner glass. If any bricks have been dam- aged, replace them with Harman Stove Company replace- ment parts. Glass - Replacement If the stove’s glass is cracked or broken, you must...
  • Page 10 After a period of time, you may find that the front door does not close as firmly as when your stove was new. This is due to a natural com- pression of the gaskets. To tighten the seal, open the door and rotate the handle one full turn counterclockwise or bend the latch plate on the stove.
  • Page 11: Installation

    Assembly Blower (optional) Bolt the mounting plate to the bottom rear of the stove with four 1/4-20 bolts. Put the blower in place on the bracket and bolt fast. Tighten the bolts, but do not over- tighten. The power cord for the blower must be connected to a grounded outlet, and may not be routed above, under, over or around the stove itself.
  • Page 12 Parallel versus Corner Installations A parallel installation is one in which the back and sides of the stove are parallel to the walls behind and to the side of the stove. A corner installation is one in which the back of the stove is positioned diagonally across a corner of the room.

  • Page 17 Signs of an overdraft include rapid fuel consumption, inabil- ity to slow the fire, and parts of the stove or chimney connector glowing red. It is important that you fol- low the chimney guidelines in this manual, including size, type, and height to avoid draft problems.
  • Page 18 The Chimney The Exception must be installed into a chimney approved for use with solid-fuel appliances. In the U.S., the Exception must be connected to (1) a prefabricated chimney complying with the requirements for Type HT chim- neys in the Standard for Chimneys, Factory-Built, Resi- dential Type and Building Heating Appliances, UL 103, or (2) a code-approved masonry chimney with a flue liner.
  • Page 19 Existing Masonry Chimneys If you plan on using a pre-existing masonry chim- ney, have it thoroughly inspected and cleaned. Any faults which make the chimney unsafe and unusable must be repaired prior to use. These can include improper height, structural defects, blockages, inadequate clearance to com- bustibles, unsealed openings into other rooms of the house, signs of creosote or smoke leakage, a loose or absent clean-out door, or absence of a liner.
  • Page 20: Chimney System

    If you smell smoke, turn up the air control lever setting, and thoroughly ventilate your dwelling. During future burns, be careful not to overload the stove with fuel, so you will not be tempted to constantly operate at a low air control setting.
