Maintenance - Harman Stove Company Accentra Installation & Operating Manual

22
The glass used in your stove is manufactured to exact
standards to withstand the high heat of the fire, but like
all glass, it must be treated with common sense and
care. Never abuse the glass by slamming the door shut
or striking the glass with a heavy object. If the glass is
broken or damaged, do not operate the stove until it
has been replaced.

Carefully remove damaged glass, gasket material,
and hold down clips (set aside).
Install the self adhesive 1/4"" gasket material around
the front face of the glass. Set the glass panel and
gasket gently onto the door. Install the hold down clips
and tighten with bolts.
glass - Cleaning
Sometimes it will be necessary to clean accumulated
ash from the glass surface; allowing this ash to remain
on the glass for long periods can result in "etching" due
to the acidity of the ash. Never clean the glass while it
is hot, and do not use abrasive substances. Wash the
surface with cool water, and rinse thoroughly. You may
wish to use a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed
for use on stove glass. In any case, dry thoroughly
before relighting your stove.
Inspect the hopper lid sponge gasket. It is important to
maintain a good hopper lid seal.

Creosote - Formation and Need for removal -
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other
organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture
to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the
relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a
result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining.
When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot
fire. The pellet vent pipe should be inspected at least
twice monthly during the heating season to determine
if a creosote buildup has occurred. If creosote has
accumulated (3mm or more) it should be removed to
reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
Guidance on minimizing creosote formation and
the need for periodic creosote removal: The chimney
should be inspected periodically during the heating
season to determine if a creosote build-up has occurred.
If a significant layer of creosote has accumulated, 1/8"
(3mm) or more, it should be removed to reduce the risk
of a chimney fire.
Soot and Flyash: Formation and Need for
removal- The products of combustion will contain
small particles of flyash. The flyash will collect in
the exhaust venting system and restrict the flow
of flue gases. Incomplete combustion, such as
occurs during start-up, shut-down, or incorrect
operation of the room heater will lead to some soot
formation which will collect in the exhaust venting
system. The exhaust venting system should be
inspected at least once every year to determine if
cleaning is necessary.
