Ash Removal
• Frequency: As needed / Every day or two
• By: User
Wear Leather Gloves To Prevent Skin Burns!
Open the ash removal door by lifting upward on the latch
handle, then swing the door open. Pull the ash pan out of
the firebox, using the lip on the front of the pan. Once the
ash pan is removed from the stove, you can flip the carry
handle up for convenience.
If removing ashes while a fire is burning, close and latch the
ash door while disposing of the ashes.
DO NOT leave the appliance unattended with the ash door
open.
Ashes must 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. Do not use the ash container for other debris
or yard waste.

Door Glass
• Frequency: As needed / Weekly
• By: User
Whenever the view of the fire is obstructed, or weekly,
clean the glass using a soft cloth dampened with standard
household glass cleaner.
Never spray glass cleaner directly onto hot glass. Apply
the cleaner to the cloth then wipe the glass.
Fly-ash allowed to accumulate on the glass may lead to
permanent fogging or "crazing" of the glass.
Inspect the glass and sealing gasket. Replace gasket as
needed. Do not operate the stove with a broken glass.
Replacement glass, which is ceramic glass, should be
obtained only through your Harman dealer.
To replace a broken glass; first be sure to carefully remove
the broken glass and any remaining shards or pieces. With
the door laying on a flat surface, lay the gasketed glass
panel onto the door and be sure it is properly fitted into the
channel. Lay the glass retainer clips in place near each
corner, and secure them using the 3/8" screws. Be sure to
tighten each screw equally so you don't create a pressure
point on the glass.
!
NEVER USE ABRASIVE MATERIALS ON THE GLASS.

DO NOT ABUSE GLASS BY STRIKING OR SLAMMING
THE DOOR CLOSED. THIS TYPE OF BREAKAGE IS
