Operation - Harman TLC 2000 Installation And Operating Manual

The Stove
doors
Your stove has a large glass-paneled door for loading
and fire viewing, a separate smaller door for removing
ashes and a top loading door. To open the glass door,
turn the handle clockwise and pull out; to close the
door, return the handle to an open 9 o'clock position
and push in to engage the latch while turning the handle
counterclockwise to the 6 o'clock position. To open the
ash door, lift up on the handle and pull out. Close the
door by pushing in and pushing 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.
All doors must be closed while the stove is in normal
operation, and the gaskets routinely examined for wear
and replaced when necessary. The glass door may be
left open and the opening covered with a screen when
operating as a fireplace. Good door seals are important
for maintaining control of the stove. Operating the stove
with the ash door open, or with a door inadequately
sealed, could create a serious overfiring condition
(discussed later in this section).

The glass used in your TLC 2000 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. The coal bars must be
installed to protect the glass. Never build a fire directly
against the glass.
grates
The TLC 2000's unique grate system consists
of two Cast iron grates linked together to operate
simultaneously when the external shaker handle is
moved.
The purpose of the grate system is to support the
coal bed while air flows up through the grates to the
burning coal. The grates are also used to remove ashes
from the bottom of the coal bed while the fire is burning.
This is accomplished by shaking the shaker lever back
and forth with short choppy strokes. This causes the
ashes to fall through the grates into the ash pan. It is the
special design of the Harman Grates that allows longer
intervals between refueling and shaking the grates.

Operation

Fuels for uSA
Coal:
Anthracite coal, pea or nut size, is the primary fuel
for which the TLC2000 is designed. Bituminous coal
may also be burned but the results will vary due to the
variation in bituminous coal from region to region.
wood:
Wood may be burned in the TLC2000 for the purpose
of igniting coal.
Wood may also be burned with the glass door open
and a screen in place to prevent sparks from escaping.
This provides a real open fire atmosphere.
Fuels for Canada
wood:
Wood may be burned as a primary fuel, providing
that your local and provincial codes allow it.
Wood may also be burned with the glass door open
and a screen in place to prevent sparks from escaping.
Coal:
Anthracite coal, pea or nut size, may also be burned
as a primary fuel for the TLC2000. Bituminous coal
may also be burned but the results will vary due to the
variation in bituminous coal from region to region.
Fuel should be stored in a dry place, prefferably
indoors. Keep fuel outside the installation clearance
area. Also, keep fuel away from all maintenance access
areas.
