Warning: Do not install in sleeping room.
The Harman Oakwood was tested with fuel door
open and closed. Keep door closed for normal operat-
ing conditions.
If you operate with doors open, open the by-pass
and put a screen over the opening.
Do not burn any fuel other than wood, such as charcoal,
which can cause increased carbon monoxide produc-
tion or overfiring. Never use highly volatile substances
in your stove, such as gasoline, which could cause an
explosion.
When solid fuels are burned completely, they pro-
duce water and carbon dioxide. However, in long slow
burns, a substantial amount of carbon monoxide may
be produced. If allowed to build up, carbon monoxide
(which is odorless) can prove fatally poisonous. Proper
ventilation and draft will prevent this from happening.
If you smell smoke, turn up the air control lever setting,
and thoroughly ventilate your dwelling. During future
burns, be careful not to overload the stove with fuel, so
you will not be tempted to constantly operate at a low air
control setting.
Other causes of poor ventilation or draft are icing,
exhaust fans, a blocked outside air inlet, and room air
starvation. If your stove is sluggish and you get occa-
sional odor, check these possibilities and increase the air
flow in your home.

Caution: Always wear fire-resistant gloves
to operate the stove. The air control is hot
while in operation.
