Venting - Harman Stove Company Harman Clarity 828i Installation And Operating Manual

Installation
PRELIMINARY STEPS TO PREPARE FOR
THE INSTALLATION OF THE CLARITY FIRE-
PLACE INSERT
Remove the chimney cap if one exists so that the flue
may be cleaned and the venting installed.
Remove any existing hearth accessories such as glass
doors, spark screens, andirons, and grates.
Clean the chimney thoroughly to remove ash, soot,
and any obstructions, and then clean ash, soot, dust,
and debris from the fireplace.
The damper must be locked open to allow the 4"
venting to pass through. If it is necessary to modify
the damper area to allow passage of the venting, the
modifications should be allowed under local codes.
Confirm any planned changes with local building of-
ficials.
Use Only Approved Venting
The Clarity 88I Vented Gas Fireplace Insert is
tested and listed for connection to a 4" (100 mm)
listed Class B venting system.
If the unit is installed to vent through an approved
masonry chimney or a factory-built chimney system,
a listed lining system approved for use with gas-fired
appliances must be used.
Observe local codes when venting the Clarity. If
no local codes exist, follow the current edition of
ANSI Z3.1 and CAN1- B149 installation codes.
Do not connect the venting to the flue of a chimney
that serves a separate solid-fuel burning appliance.
The venting manufacturer's installation instruc-
tions must be followed exactly.
IMPORTANT: Because of the high efficiency
and low flue gas temperatures of this appliance, it
is important that it be connected to a well-sealed
and efficient venting system which is capable of
registering a negative pressure while the stove is
in operation.
INSTAllATION
The Clarity Fireplace Insert is equipped with its
own integral draft hood so no additional draft hood
is required. The heater should be installed so that the
draft hood is in the same atmospheric pressure zone
as the air inlets to the heater.
The most efficient venting systems are those that
have a minimum number of bends and minimal hori-
zontal runs.
The Clarity Fireplace Insert is equipped with a
thermally activated vent safety switch which will
shut down the main burner if the heater is not venting
properly. The safety switch will automatically reset
after the heater has cooled down.
The switch will continue to cycle off and on until
the venting problem is corrected. If you are unable to
correct the venting problem, seek expert advice from
your Harman dealer or installer.
DO NOT DISCONNECT OR BYPASS THE
VENT SAFETY SWITCH.
WARNING: Operation of this heater when
not connected to a properly installed and main-
tained venting system or tampering with the
vent safety shutoff system can result in carbon
monoxide (CO) poisoning and possible death.
