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. rEmOvAl Or mOdIFICATION OF ThIS grATE SYSTEm mAY CAuSE A dANgErOuS SITuATION. harman TlC 2000 grate System 3-90-08691R18_12/13...

  • Page 11 building & maintaining a Fire building and maintaining a Coal Fire; Build a wood fire as described but instead of adding larger wood, limit the size to about 2" in diameter. Add enough 2" wood that the firebox floor is covered with burning wood. After the wood is burning well for about five minutes, put the wood air controls in the down position and slide the coal air control to the right. This makes the primary air flow up through the grates as is required for coal burning. Next add a layer of coal on top of the wood. Continue burning until the layer of coal is turning red and igniting. It is possible to speed this process by opening the ash door, but never for more than five minutes at a time. Operation with the ash door open for more than five minutes will overfire the stove and may cause damage to the stove. Never leave the stove unattended with the ash door open. After the layer of coal is burning, a second layer may be added. After the second layer is burning, more layers may be added. Do not add coal above the firebricks or grate bars. The stove is hot while in operation.
  • Page 12 building & maintaining a Fire disposal of Ashes. The TLC 2000 was designed to provide access to the ash pan without the need for opening the main door. Wearing heavy protective gloves, open the ash door and remove the ash pan by pulling it forward by the handle. Close the ash door before taking the ashes outside for safe disposal. A good time to empty the ash pan is before loading. This ensures that the ashes will be cold and safer to handle than directly after shaking the ashes down or tending the fire. Ashes should be placed in a steel container with a tight fitting lid and moved outdoors immediately. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal.
