Harman Stove Company Accentra-2 Installation And Operating Manual page 9

When installing and operating your Harman
Accentra Pellet Stove, respect basic safety standards.
Read these instructions carefully before you attempt to
install or operate the Accentra. Failure to do so may re-
sult in damage to property or personal injury and may
void the product warranty.
Consult with your local building code agency and
insurance representative before you begin your instal-
lation to ensure compliance with local codes, including
the need for permits and follow-up inspections.
Several issues must be addressed when select-
ing a suitable location for your Accentra Pellet Stove.
Observing required clearances to corrlbustible materi-
als, the proximity to a safe chimney or venting system,
and the accessibility of electrical supply must all be con-
sidered. In addition, selecting a location that takes ad-
vantage of the building's natural air flow is also desir-
able to maximize the heating effectiveness of the heater.
In many cases, this is a central location within the build-
ing.
Adequate combustion and ventilation air must be
provided. The Accentra pellet stove is capable of being
installed with a 100% outside air corrlbustion system.
See Page 14 about venting.
Place the stove on a noncombustible floor surface.
If the floor surface is made of a combustible material,
(such as carpet, vinyl or wood), a noncombustible ma-
terial must be installed between the bottom of the unit
and the floor. This can be a minimum of a 20 gauge
sheetmetal plate, ceramic tile with grouted joints, a UL
listed stove board, or a Harman Cast lron floor protec-
tor1. The Harman Cast lron Floor Protector is equal to
the minimum dimensions, which are 24l/,, x 285/,1 This
allows for a 2" extension on each side of the unit and a
6" extension to the front of the ash opening (33/,"2 if mea-
sured from the base plate front edge.) The rear edge of
the floor protection can be flush with the cast base plate
rear edge.
Place the stove away from combustible walls at
least as far as shown in figures 10, 11, 12, & 13
Note that the clearances shown are minimum for
safety but do not leave much room for access when
cleaning or service is needed.
Before the first fire is lit, check and record the
high and low draft reading numbers on page 12. Make
adjustments to the low draft at this time, if necessary.
