Page 1: Operating Instructions
This Manual Must Always be Available to the Stove Operator Operating Instructions Harmony 1 with 3kW or 6kW Boiler 394.92B3 & 39662004 Harmony 3 with 7.5kW or 11kW Boiler 394.96B7 & 39666005 Multifuel Boiler Stoves IN1145 Edition A January 2011... - Page 2 Always check for any flue blockage before lighting the stove after a prolonged shut down. Harmony 1 with 3kW boiler and Harmony 3 with 11kW boiler. We would recommend that after the first weeks of use the cast iron top plate is removed and that the accumulation of soots is monitered, then after two weeks it is inspected again.

- Page 7 Wood and Multifuel Stoves Gas and oil are consistent fuels and stoves can be designed to obtain the maximum heat from them with the user having to do no more than choose a heat setting. Solid fuels are almost infinitely variable and however well a stove has been designed, its performance will ultimately depend on the way the user operates it.
- Page 8 Choice of Fuels Wood All wood will burn slightly differently, but the most important differences between woods is their moisture content. Until the moisture has been driven off from the wood it will remain below its combustion temperature. When the outer skin has dried and beginning to burn, much of this heat energy will be wasted having to boil off the water remaining in the core of the wood.

Page 10: Ash Removal
Ash Collection The grate can be riddled to encourage ash to fall into the ash pan by locating the riddling tool in the extended connection shaft. Using a left to right action to cause the grate to oscillate. If it becomes necessary to riddle the stove while it is operating, always riddle the stove before adding new fuel. - Page 11 The ash pit door should be closed before lighting a fire in the stove and it should remain closed whilst the stove is operating. Opening the ash pit door when the stove is operating may cause flames to be directed fiercely at the glass and the intense heat will turn the areas of glass hit by the flames, irrevocably, opaquely white.
- Page 12 Ensure the ash pan is fitted and empty, then securely close the ash pit door. Harmony 1 with 3kW boiler and Harmony 3 with 7.5kW boiler Set the thermostat control to maximum, the air wash control to maximum and the open direct draught bypass slide.
- Page 13 Lightly crumple two tabloid sized pieces of newspaper and lay them in the middle of the grate. Resist the temptation to use more paper than this, or to crumple it too tightly; doing either will prevent the rapid development of flames and will cause smoke to be produced.
- Page 14 Harmony boiler stove you have. Harmony 1 with 3kW boiler & Harmony 3 with 7.5kW boiler Set the thermostat control to minimum, close the direct draught bypass slide. The air wash control should then be used to adjust the burn rate to the required heat output from the stove.
- Page 15 Why Did You Fail? Not everyone will pass with flying colours at the first attempt, indeed even some experienced stove users will fail their test because producing smoke and tar was historically acceptable. Before checking your technique, make absolutely certain that the wood you are using is dry, not “seasoned”, “barn stored”...
- Page 16 Advanced Driving With Wood Once the stove is at its operating temperature it is capable of burning cleanly and efficiently with little or no intervention from you beyond periodic loading of wood. Two reasons for a stove failing to operate cleanly and efficiently make all other reasons virtually insignificant.
- Page 17 Always try to position new logs so that they are in the path of existing flames by bridging the flames where possible. Do not over fill the stove with wood expecting it to burn for an extended time, it will produce little but smoke and tar.
- Page 18 Slow, Prolonged Burning Wood releases its volatile gasses when heated, if insufficient air is available, or the temperature is below the ignition temperature of these gasses, they will deposit themselves as tar and other undesirable substances on the stove body, glass and in the flue. Filling the stove with wood and restricting the air supply may be the only option available to many who want to keep the stove warm for extended periods but it is not necessary for you to adopt this anti-social practice.
- Page 19 Ensure the ash pan is fitted and empty, then securely close the ash pit door. Harmony 1 with 3kW boiler and Harmony 3 with 7.5kW boiler Set the thermostat control to maximum, the air wash control to maximum and the open direct draught bypass slide.
- Page 20 Lightly crumple two tabloid sized pieces of newspaper and lay them in the middle of the grate. Resist the temptation to use more paper than this, or to crumple it too tightly; doing either will prevent the rapid development of flames and will cause smoke to be produced.
- Page 21 When the loading of coal is burning brightly, close the direct draught bypass slide if fitted and reduce the air volume. If you are burning one of the manufactured smokeless coals the air wash slide should be reduced to a low-medium setting. If you are burning Anthracite, the air wash slide should be moved to the minimum position.
- Page 22 Bridge the firelighters with coal trying to avoid coal actually touching the firelighters. The coal should be at least glowing by the time the firelighters have extinguished and may even be producing flames. If the fuel is manufactured smokeless coal the air wash should be set between minimum and medium. If the fuel is anthracite the air wash should be set to minimum.
- Page 23 Why Did You Fail? Smokeless coal is generally a simple, trouble free fuel which lights easily, but slowly. Before looking again at your lighting procedure examine the coal for evidence of moisture. Many of the manufactured coals will absorb water and this will prevent the coal from igniting or burning properly for a considerable time.
- Page 24 Advanced Stove Driving With Coal (also known as solid mineral fuel) Because it is the volatile gasses that produce smoke, all coals defined as being “smokeless” either naturally have low volatile content or have had their volatile content reduced during their manufacturing process and so many of the problems associated with solid fuels are eliminated.
- Page 25 Cleaning The Stove Cleaning The Glass Properly operated, with the correct fuel, your glass will remain clean. Slight staining may appear when the stove is lit and below its operating temperature. This will normally clear as the stove’s temperature rises. If it becomes necessary to clean the glass by hand do not attempt to do so unless the stove is cold.

Page 26: Door Adjustments
Simple Maintenance The stove must be cleaned of ash and any tarring as often as your use of the stove and fuel dictate. All deposits on the stove interior will insulate the stove body from the fire and will reduce the stove’s efficiency. Flue ways which become choked will not only reduce the stoves performance but can become a serious health risk if the flue is not taking away all the products of combustion. - Page 27 Lift up the steel plate from the top of the boiler to access the top and Harmony 1 with 3kW boiler and Harmony 3 with 11kW boiler. rear of the boiler for cleaning We would recommend that after the first weeks of use the cast iron top plate is removed and that the accumulation of soots is monitered, then after two weeks it is inspected again.
