Like all fine equipment, your TLC 2000 requires some
routine maintenance and inspection. Follow the guidelines
in this section to guarantee safe, efficient operation.
The Stove
Surface
The stove's exterior surface should be dusted periodically
with a soft cloth. For more thorough cleaning, wait until the
stove is cool before using a damp cloth to clean any blemishes.
Controls
To avoid a rust build-up on the inner surfaces of the con-
trols, work the controls back and forth several times, during
the summer, or any prolonged period when you are not using
your stove.
The Fire Chamber
The inside of the fire chamber should be examined for
damage to the firebrick lining material, and grates. If any
bricks have been damaged, replace them with Harman re-
placement parts.
venting System / Chimney
Creosote - Formation and the 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 a cool chimney
of a slow burning fire. As a result,
creosote residue accumulates in
the flue lining. When ignited, this
creosote makes an extremely hot
fire. The chimney connector and
chimney must be inspected at least
once every two months during the
heating season to determine if a
creosote build-up has occurred.
If a significant layer of creosote
has accumulated (3mm or more),
it must be removed to reduce the
risk of a chimney fire.
In the event of a chimney fire,
call your local fire department;
make sure everyone is safely out
of the house. Reduce the air intake
of the stove as much as possible
using the air control lever. Do not
throw water on the fire; this can
cause stove damage and create an
even more dangerous situation.
Have your chimney profession-
ally cleaned and inspected before
resuming burning in your stove.
