Sections 3: Getting Started; Design, Installation & Location; Fire Safety - Harman TL2.6 Owner's Manual

A. Design, Installation & Location Considerations
1. Appliance Location
Consideration must be given to safety, convenience, traffic
flow, and the fact that the appliance will need a chimney and
chimney connector. It is a good idea to plan your installation
on paper, using exact measurements for clearances and
floor protection, before actually beginning the installation.
When installing on a combustible floor, proper floor
protection material must be used. See page 12 for details.
Maintain specified vent clearance to combustible
requirements listed by the vent manufacturers instructions
and all clearance to combustibles listed in this manual.
Check with your local building code agency before you begin
your installation. Be sure local codes do not supersede UL
specifications and always obtain the required permit so
that insurance protection benefits cannot be unexpectedly
cancelled. If any assistance is required during installation,
please contact your dealer.
We recommend that a qualified building inspector and your
insurance company representative review your plans before
and after the installation.
Be sure to provide a source of fresh air to the room or
directly to the appliance. Make-up air is needed to replace
what the chimney draws away through the appliance.
Consider attaching outside air to the appliance. Certain
conditions can create negative pressure within the dwelling.
When this occurs, you may have trouble operating the wood
stove. Worse yet, it may be strong enough to allow smoke
leakage from the appliance. Installation on lower levels and
in basements can be especially affected.

B. Fire Safety
Maintain the designated clearances to combustibles.
Insulation must not touch the chimney. You must maintain
the designated air space around the chimney. This space
around a chimney is necessary to allow natural heat
removal from the area. Insulation in this space will cause
a heat buildup, which may ignite wood framing. NOTE:
Clearances may only be reduced by means approved
by the regulatory authority having jurisdiction.
To provide reasonable fire safety, the following should be
given serious consideration:
1. Install at least one smoke detector on each floor of your
home. Detectors should be located away from the heating
appliance and close to sleeping areas. Follow the smoke
detector manufacturer's placement and installation
instructions, and be sure to maintain regularly.
2. A conveniently located Class A fire extinguisher to
contend with small fires resulting from burning embers.
3. A practiced evacuation plan, consisting of at least two
escape routes.
4. A plan to deal with a chimney fire as follows:
In the event of a chimney fire:
a. Evacuate the house immediately.
b. Notify Fire Department.
c. Never apply water to a suspected chimney fire.
Serious damage could occur.
FIRE HAZARD!
Do not operate appliance before reading
and understanding the operating
instructions.
Failure to operate properly may cause a
house fire.
