Reference Material
A. Safety Reminders
When operating your Harman® Pellet Stove, respect basic
safety standards. Read these instructions carefully before
you attempt to operate the Pellet Stove. Failure to do so may
result in damage to property or personal injury and may void
the product warranty.
CAUTION: This appliance must be vented to the outside.
Due to high temperatures, this stove should be placed out of
traffic and away from furniture and draperies.
Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high
surface temperatures and should stay away to avoid burn
to skin and/or clothing.
Young children should be carefully supervised when they are
in the same room as the stove.
Clothing and other flammable materials should not be placed
on or near this stove.
Installation and repair of this stove should be done by a
qualified service person. The appliance should be inspected
before use and at least annually by a qualified service person.
More frequent cleaning will be required. It is imperative
that control compartments, burners, and circulating air
passageways of this stove be kept clean.
Disposal of ashes: Ashes should be placed in a metal
container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of
ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the
ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending
final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil
or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in
the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
Soot and fly ash: Formation and need for removal. The
products of combustion contain small particles of fly ash.
The fly ash will collect in the exhaust venting system and will
restrict the flow of the flue gases. Pellet fuels have different
ash contents depending on what type of wood has been used
to make the pellets. We recommend cleaning the system
after approximately 1 ton of pellets have been burned and
judge from that how often the stove should be cleaned,
remember if you change pellets it may change how often
you have to clean your stove.
When burning wood slowly, the potential exists for creosote
to form. The venting system should be inspected periodically
throughout the heating season to determine if a creosote
buildup has occurred. If a significant layer of creosote
has accumulated (3mm or more), it should be removed to
reduce the risk of a chimney fire. If a fire occurs, call the
fire department, shut down the stove, and evacuate the
residence. Before using the appliance, have the venting
system thoroughly inspected and replace any damaged
components.
