1.2 FUEL/FIRING WARNINGS

DANGER! FIRE HAZARD! DO NOT

USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO

START OR “FRESHEN UP” A FIRE.

SEVERE BODY BURNS OR AFIRE IN

YOUR HOME COULD RESULT. DO

NOT BURN GARBAGE, GASOLINE,

THINNERS, DRAIN OR ENGINE OIL,

KEROSENE, OR FUEL OIL, ETC. AN

EXPLOSION, A HOUSE FIRE OR

PERSONAL INJURY COULD RESULT.

K E E P A L L SUCH LIQUIDS WELL

AWAY FROM THE STOVE WHILE IN

USE.

This heater is for burning coal

only. Use of any other fuel except for

coal ignition is a violation of federal

law.

When and if the chimney pipes or

connectors reach 500 degrees fahren-

heit (maximum temperature), the stove

is being over fired. We recommend the

purchase of a Harman Magnetic

Temperature Gauge to monitor the

stove and stack temperatures relative

to the amount of draft the customer per-

mits the stove to operate.

It has been verified that creosote

will ignite at 650 degrees fahrenheit. It

is the owner’s responsibility to follow

these recommendations.

This stove consumes air when it is

burning. It is advisable that a window in

the vicinity be opened slightly while

stove is burning if your house is tightly

sealed and insulated. (Information con-

tained in this manual is manufacturer’s

recommendations and if there is any

difference between our recommenda-

tions and local code requirements, we

suggest following local code require-

ments.)

1.3 Curing Paint

During the first few hours of burn-

ing, a blue smoke will be observed ris-

ing from the painted surface of the

stove. It is advisable to increase the

amount of fresh air in the room during

this breaking-in period. This may be

achieved by opening doors, windows,

etc. Don’t be alarmed, this is normal.

1.4 Mobile Homes

Harman Stoves are not approved

or recommended for mobile homes.

2. Assembly

Slide blower into slots as shown.

Blower will rest at bottom of slot.

3. Chimney

3.1 Types of Chimneys

The chimney is one of the most

important, yet most neglected and mis-

understood portion of any solid fuel

burning installation. We do not recom-

mend that the stove be connected to a

chimney with other heating devices.

THE STOVE MUST BE CON-

NECTED TO ITS OWN TILE-LINED

FLUE. AMINIMUM FLUE SIZE OF 8" X

8" IS NECESSARY FOR PROPER

OPERATION AND APPROVED FOR

ALL FUELS.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTA N C E S

SHOULD A MANUAL FLUE DAMPER

BE INSTALLED IN THE SMOKE PIPE

BETWEEN STOVE AND CHIMNEY!

1. Safety Considerations

No damper, heat saver, or automat-

ic vent damper device should be

installed in or on the smoke pipe.

NO OTHER A P P L I A N C E S

SHOULD BE VENTED TO THIS FLUE!

CAUTION: THE CHIMNEY MUST

BE ACLASS “A” CHIMNEY IN GOOD

OPERATION CONDITION.

NOTE: THE USE OF ALUMINUM

TYPE “B” GAS VENT FOR SOLID

FUELS IS UNSAFE AND PROHIBIT-

ED BY THE NATIONAL FIRE PRO-

TECTION ASSOCIATION CODE.

There are three types of Class “A”

chimneys:

A. Masonry with tile liner to

include brick or stone. It must be

supported on grade level founda-

tion.

B. Insulated Class “A” manufac-

tured chimney, listed or certified by

a national test agency.

C. Triple Wall Metal Class “A”

chimney, listed or certified by a

national test agency.

If your masonry chimney has not

been used for some time, have it

inspected by a qualified person (build-

ing inspector, fire department person-

nel, etc.) If a listed or certified manu-

factured chimney is to be used, make

certain it is installed in accordance with

the manufacturer’s instructions and all

local and state codes. See Figure No. 1

of Manufactured Chimney Installation

and Figure No. 2 of Masonry Chimney

(note roof clearance in accordance with

NFPA 211.)

3.2 Common Chimney Problems

In order to have a proper operating

solid fuel heating system, the chimney

must be capable of providing the draft

required.

The minimum required draft is .06

inches W.C. (water column). This must

be measured using a draft gauge.

If the chimney cannot supply this

constant draft, the unit will not operate

properly.

In some installations, a barometric

draft regulator may be used and prop-

erly adjusted to compensate for exces-

sive draft.

IMPORTANT!

Whenever you measure the draft,

the stove must be operating and suffi-

cient time given for the chimney and

stove to warm up. This should take a

minimum of thirty minutes.

The draft reading is taken 18" up

from the center of the stove flue outlet

in the smoke pipe.

REASONS for insufficient draft read-

ings:

A. Leaky Chimney - Air leaking in

around a loose fitting cleanout door,

flue pipes not tight at the joints, improp-

er plug openings or defective masonry.

B. Chimney Improper Height - Chim-

ney does not extend through the roof

to a sufficient height to promote suffi-

cient draft or causes a down drafting

condition to take place. (See Figure

No. 3).

C. Obstructions in the chimney.

Check prior to using by holding a mirror

in chimney clean-out door.This will

give a view of the chimney.

D. Trees or Other To p o g r a p h i c a l

Barriers - Impeding the chimneys oper-

ation or causing a down draft condition

to exist. This can also be caused by

adjacent buildings or the roof of the

same structure where the chimney is

not high enough (See Figure no. 3).

Figure 3

NOTE: The Chimney on the house

illustrated is too low. It should be raised

to compensate for drafts.

E. Chimney Size - Chimney is not

properly sized to adequately vent the

appliance. It is either too small or too

large.

F. Chimney Offsets - Chimneys with

offsets should not be used. They cause

an obstruction to draft as well as a

place for debris to collect.

G. Elbow Restrictions -The flue pipe

is connected to the chimney with too

many elbows, reducing the draft the

chimney can provide.

H. Multiple Venting - No more than

one device shall vent into the same

chimney flue.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING

TO REMEMBER ABOUT CHIMNEYS

IS THEIR NEED FOR MAINTENANCE

AND CLEANING. IF CHIMNEYS ARE

N O T CLEANED ON A F R E Q U E N T

BASIS. IT WILL AFFECT THE DRAFT,

AS WELL AS BEING A CONTRIBUT-

ING CAUSE TO A CHIMNEY FIRE.

CAUTION

ANYTIME YOU HAVE A CHIMNEY

FIRE THE FOLLOWING POINTS

SHOULD BE OBSERVED:

1. BE SURE EVERYONE IS OUT

OF THE HOUSE.

2. C A L L THE FIRE DEPA RT-

MENT.

3. CLOSE DOWN DRAFT

DAMPER ON STOVE.

AFTER THE FIRE IS EXTIN-

GUISHED, DO NOT USE THE CHIM-

NEY UNTIL A QUALIFIED PERSON

HAS INSPECTED YOUR CHIMNEY.

3.3 What To Do When You

Have A Problem

A. Smoke Puffs From Your Stove:

1. Check the chimney draft. With

a good fire burning, the chimney should

supply .06" updraft.

2. Check draft controls for proper

operation.

3. Check the smoke pipe and be

sure it is clean.

4. Chimney may be too low.

Increase the height. Make sure the

chimney is structurally sound.

5. Add more air to the room. Your

home may be so airtight that not

enough oxygen is reaching the fire.

6. REMEMBER, open the draft

controls and crack the fire door slightly

before recharging the fire chamber or

checking the fire.

SPECIAL WARNING: NEVER OPER-

ATE YOUR STOVE WITH THE FIRE

OR ASH DOOR OPEN!

7. Check the smoke pipe and

make certain each joint is tight and the

connections to the stove and chimney

are airtight.

8. Check the ashes. Ashpan and

fire compartment may be overloaded

with ashes.

9. Check your chimney for down

drafts. This is caused by air currents

being deflected down the chimney from

higher objects, such as trees, buildings

and hills. This problem can usually be

corrected with an open-vented chimney

cap.

10. Make sure the chimney

cleanout door is tightly closed and

sealed.

11. If other fuel-burning devices

are connected to the chimney they may

be causing draft problems. This must

be corrected by your heating contrac-

tor.

3.4 Chimney Details

Chimney Liners - Most of the cus-

tomer inquiries received are problems

caused by poor, or in some cases,

excessive draft. Aresult of poor draft

could be creosote, backpuffing, and

smoky firebox when loading.

Indications of excessive draft are burn-

ing too much fuel and high stack tem-

peratures.

The most common cause of poor

draft is an improperly sized flue liner.

We recommend that the chimney

liner’s inside dimensions be at least as

large as the appliance’s collar size.

TO SUMMARIZE, A H E AT I N G

UNIT CAN PERFORM ONLYAS WELL

AS ITS VENTING SYSTEM WILL

ALLOW IT.

4. Electrical

4.1 Warnings

Turn off electric power at fuse box

or circuit breaker panel before making

any line voltage connections. Follow

local electrical codes. Be sure to route

power so that it doesn’t come in contact

with the stove.

I M P O RTA N T ! A L L W I R I N G

SHOULD BE DONE IN A C C O R -

DANCE WITH LOCAL AND STAT E

CODES.

5. Grates

5.1 Grate System and Controls

A. Heavy-Duty Cast Iron Grate

System - The functions of a grate sys-

tem are to support the coal and at the

same time provide air flow through the

grates to the coal. Harman grates have

a maximum amount of air flow to pro-

duce an even burning fire. Another

function is to remove the ash from the

unburned coal by grinding, breaking or

shaking them until the ashes fall

through the grates. Harman grates pro-

vide a variable amount of grinding

action controlled by the movement of a

long shaker-lever located on the left

side of the stove. Grates are removable

without tools.

B. Burns Three Sizes of Anthracite -

You can burn pea, nut or stove coal

with these stoves.

C. Exterior Shaker-Lever - For greater

safety (from getting burned) and

greater convenience (no need for sep-

arate tools).

I M P O RTANT! WHEN SHAKING IS

COMPLETED, TURN THE SHAKER

UNTIL THE GRATES ARE FLAT AND

HORIZONTAL. KEEP ASH DRAWER

EMPTY!

6. Installation

Instructions

6.1 Unpacking and Inspection

of Parts

Inspect the unit for visible damage.

Stove parts and accessories are pack-

aged inside the stove. It is recommend-

ed that the owner remove these parts

prior to proceeding with the installation

to avoid parts damage.

NOTE: The doors, grates, and firebrick

can be easily removed to lighten the

weight prior to moving and placing the

stove.

6.2 Warnings

All stoves must be installed in

accordance with state and local build-

ing codes.

6.3 Locating The Stove

Locate the stove as close to the

chimney or flue as possible.

Locate stove where there is suffi-

cient air supply for ventilation and prop-

er combustion to comply with the mini-

mum clearance required for fire protec-

tion and accessibility.

6.4 General Information

Installation Checklist:

A. Have only a qualified stove installer

install the stove.

B. Before starting installation, check

for proper clearance to combustibles

and where the stove will be located.

C. Chimney - Have chimney inspect-

ed for:

1. Proper type, Class “A” only,

masonry or all-fuel factory-built.

2. Good physical and mechanical

condition.

3. If manufactured chimney, look

for listing mark and installation in accor-

dance with manufacturer installation

instructions.

4. Multiple venting should be

avoided wherever possible. Never

install your stove into the same vent as

a gas furnace.

5. Check for proper roof clear-

ances. See pg. 3 and check your local

codes.

6. Chimney must be two feet

higher than anything ten feet around it.

D. Flue Pipe

1. Chimney should be within 8

feet of the stove.

2. No more than two 90 degree

elbows should be used.

E. Check for Proper Draft

The chimney used must be capa-

ble of providing a minimum of .06 inch-

es water column draft.

F. A Barometric Draft Regulator

May be used and set at .06 to .10

inches water column.

Safety and Service Clearances -

Regardless if you use your stove as a

separate independent stove installation

or in the parallel configuration with

another furnace, the following steps will

apply in your decision as to where and

how you will install your new solid fuel

stove.

Clearance to combustibles

Safe stove clearance to com-

bustible walls is 24" to rear and 33" to

sides and front. Floor protection for a

combustible floor should consist of a

non-asbestos stove mat with a K Factor

of .84. The floor protector should

extend 8" to either side and 16" in front

of the stove. Floor protection should

also extend 2" to either side of chimney

connector.

IMPORTANT! THE FLUE PIPE MUST

BE 24 GAUGE OR THICKER.

When connecting the flue pipe to

the stove the first section of the pipe

or the elbow should be installed inside

the flue connector on the stove. It

should be held in place by drilling three

holes through the pipe. The holes

should be of suitable diameter for the

sheet metal screws or pop rivets used

for fastening.

Astraight section of pipe or an

elbow must now be installed.

A barometric damper may be

installed on this vertical section of the

pipe. Use a listed barometric damper.

I M P O RTANT! A L L H O R I Z O N TA L

RUNS SHOULD HAVE A1/4" RISE TO

THE FOOT SO THAT ANY LIQUID

T H ATM AYD E V E L O P W I L L R U N

BACK INTOTHE STOVE.

Connector thru Walls and Chimney

NFPA 211 does not permit a chim-

ney connector to pass through any floor

or ceiling or through any fire wall or fire

partition. However, where necessary, a

connector may pass through a partition

other than a fire partition under any of

the following conditions:

A. Where a ventilated type metal thim-

ble, (see figure 4) is used. Such a thim-

ble must be at least 12 inches larger in

diameter than the chimney connector.

B. Where a metal or burned fire-clay

thimble is used and the thimble is sur-

rounded on all sides by not less than 8

inches of brickwork or equivalent fire-

proofing material.

Figure 5: Connecting smokepipe

(Connector) to Chimney Through Wall.

Two methods of connecting a

chimney connector to a chimney

flue where the connector must

pass through a combustible parti -

tion wall. Instead of the asbestos

board shown, sheet metal may be

used, or a metal lath and plaster

finish may be applied at that area.

Use 24 gauge or heavier metal.

Clearance needed is three times

the diameter of stovepipe.

C. Where all combustible material is

cut out of the partition wall for a suffi-

cient distance to provide not less than

18 inches clearance on all sides of the

connector. Any material used to close

this opening must be noncombustible

insulating material.

D. Where the section of connector

pipe passing through the wall is

replaced by a properly installed section

of factory-built chimney, the chimney

section must be listed for solid fuel use

and be insulted.

Where an existing chimney is used,

it must be large enough to provide a

draft adequate for exhausting the

gaseous products of combustion. The

cross-sectional area of the chimney

flue should be at least 25 percent

greater than that of the chimney con-

nector (stovepipe). For example, the

common 8 inch by 8 inch chimney flue

liner has an actual interior cross-sec-

tional area of only 49 square inches (7"

x 7") and, thus, can only accommodate

a 7" stove connector.

7. Preventive

Maintenance

Instructions

7.1 Periodic and Normal

Everyday Maintenance

Blower Motor - Oil twice yearly.

Grates - Keep ash drawer emptied.

Failure to do this may cause grates to

warp.

Figure 4. Thimble for Passing Smokepipe (Connector) Thru Walls

CAUTION! BEFORE CLEANING

C H I M N E Y AND SMOKE PIPE BE

SURE FIRE IS OUT AND INSIDE OF

STOVE IS COOL.

Cleaning The Chimney and Smoke

Pipe

Avoid chimney fires. On a regular

schedule, check for creosote and soot

buildup in the chimney, smoke pipe and

spiral chamber.They must be kept

clean. Keep a professional chimney

sweep in mind if you have access to

one.

Steel brushes are the safest for

cleaning metal surfaces. Salt solutions

and some chemicals may damage

metal surfaces. Do not overfire your

stove. Do not burn anything that com-

busts in seconds. Excessive flue tem-

peratures may result thereby igniting

creosote.

To clean the chimney, obtain a stiff

brush with an extendible handle and

insert the brush into the chimney from

the top. Continue the brushing and

sweeping downward until the entire

length of the chimney is cleaned.

After cleaning the chimney, the

debris will be at the bottom of the chim-

ney at the clean-out opening. Open the

clean-out door and sweep the debris

out into a metal container.

The smoke pipe from the stove to

the chimney can be cleaned with a

steel brush.

8. Operating

Instructions

8.1 Starting a Coal Fire

Take about eight sheets of news-

paper, crumble into balls and place on

top of grates. Next, lay fine kindling on

top of the paper.This kindling must be

dry and no larger than 3/4" in diameter.

Layer the kindling in a criss-cross fash-

ion to allow good air flow. Open the

draft control fully and light the paper

just inside the door. Now, close the

loading door and allow the kindling to

catch fire. After a few minutes, open the

loading door an inch or two for a few

seconds before opening completely.

This method will allow smoke to clear

away from the door opening before the

loading door is completely opened.

Add small, compact pieces of hard-

wood when the kindling is burning hot.

Keep the draft controls fully open to

establish a hot fire quickly.The ash

door also may be opened during start-

up to accelerate the initial burn.

When a substantial bed of red

wood coals are built up, start adding

coal (pea or nut is preferred to stove

coal for starting) small amounts at a

time. Keep the draft control open.

Continue adding small amounts of

coal until there is a solid bed of burning

coal. Do not add too much at one time.

Allow sufficient time between each

small loading (at least 5-10 minutes),

so that each loading has time to ignite

thoroughly before the next load is put

in. When a substantial bed of burning

coals has been established, fill the

stove to the top of the firebrick. A deep

bed of coal always will burn more satis-

factorily than a shallow bed.

When most of the wood is burned

and the coal is completely ignited (usu-

ally 5-10 minutes or less after filling the

stove), the draft control should be

turned down to the proper operating

level. (If the ash door has been opened,

it must be closed to prevent overfiring,

which can cause dangerously high

temperatures.)

8.2 Loading

Coal should never be added unless

there is a reasonable hot fire. The coal

bed should be bright and vigorous.

If the fire is burning hot and there is

a deep bed of coals, full loads of coal

can be added at any time. However, if

there is not a deep bed of coals, it is

best to add small amounts of coal at

first.

8.3 Increasing Heat From a

Low Fire

Every effort should be made not to

let a coal fire burn too long so that the

fire has started to die. This will cause

the reloading process to be much

longer, and there is a good possibility of

losing the fire.

Do not shake or stir with a low fire.

Open the draft control wide or open

the ash cleanout door to get the maxi-

mum draft.

Run the stove with the draft control

or ash door fully open until the fire is

reasonably hot.

Start adding small amounts of coal.

When the new coal is thoroughly ignit-

ed or there is a substantial bed of hot

coals, the stove may be shaken thor-

oughly. Be sure to shake down all

ashes (but do not overshake).

After shaking, keep the bottom

draft control open until you are sure the

fire is continuing to burn hot, then turn

the draft control down to the proper

operating level. IF THE ASH DOOR

HAS BEEN OPENED, BE SURE TO

SHUT IT (SERIOUS DAMAGE CAN

RESULT IF THE STOVE IS RUN FOR

EXTENDED PERIODS WITH T H E

ASH DOOR OPEN).

Count the exact number of turns

from full shut to the normal operating

positions so that you can adjust the

stove to the exact level of heat output

and length of burn you desire.

Figure 7

8.4 Shaking

Shaking should be done only when

there is a hot fire.

The frequency of shaking will

depend on the type of stove and the

degree of burning. Shaking should be

done at least once a day, and prefer-

ably twice a day.

Best results from shaking with

Harman grates will occur if short “chop-

py” strokes are used rather than long,

even strokes.

The amount of shaking is critical.

Too little or too much, either can result

in the extinguishing of a fire due to

blocked air flow.The proper amount

normally occurs when red coals first

start to drop through onto the bed of

ashes.

8.5 Draft Controls

The heat output of the coal is con-

trolled by the primary draft control on

bottom door. Experience will dictate the

proper settings for heat requirements.

Coal responds very slowly to

changes in the draft settings. Because

of this slow response time, over-cor-

recting is a common problem. When

changes in heat output are needed,

make only small changes in the draft

setting and wait for the temperature to

stabilize.

8.6 Ashes

Ashes should never be allowed to

accumulate in the ash pit so that they in

any way impede the flow of combustion

air to the fire. Excess ash accumulation

can cause the fire to go out and also

can cause severe damage to the grates

because of the absence of a cooling

flow of air beneath them.

Ashes should be placed in a metal

container with a tight fitting lid. The

closed container of ashes should be

placed on a noncombustible floor or on

the ground, well away from all com-

bustible materials, pending final dis-

posal. If the ashes are disposed of by

burial in soil or otherwise locally dis-

persed, they should be retained in the

closed container until all cinders have

thoroughly cooled outside the dwelling.

CAUTION! ASHES SHOULD NEVER

BE ALLOWED TO A C C U M U L AT E

ABOVE THE TOP OF THE ASH PAN.

ASHES IN CONTACT WITH THE BOT-

TOM OF THE GRATES ACT AS AN

I N S U L ATOR, INTENSIFYING T H E

HEAT ON THE GRATES, AND COULD

CAUSE THEIR WARPAGE. WITH AN

EXCESSIVE ASH BUILDUP, PRIMA-

RY COMBUSTION AIR IS RESTRICT-

ED, THUS, THE UNIT’S OUTPUT

COULD BE REDUCED.

GRATES DAMAGED IN THIS WAY

ARE EASILYRECOGNIZED BY THE

EXTREME DAMAGE CAUSED TO

THE GRATES.

PLEASE REFER TO YOUR WAR-

RANTY TO SEE HARMAN STOVES

LIMIT OF LIABILITY IN CASES OF

ABUSE OR NEGLECT.

Coal produces considerably more

ash than wood, so the intervals

between emptying are much shorter.

For equal heat output, coal will produce

seven to ten times more ash than

wood.

8.7 Safety

Whenever a loading door is

opened, it always should be cracked

slightly to allow oxygen to enter and

burn any combustion gases that are

present before fully opening. Failure to

do this could result in sudden ignition of

the unburned gases when the door is

opened.

Astove never should be filled with

excess coal so that the flue gas exit is

blocked or impeded in any way.

Burning coal generates carbon monox-

ide. If the flue gas exit is blocked, the

carbon monoxide can be forced out of

the stove into the room, with possible

fatal consequences.

WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE

S TA RT- U P PERIOD, THE ASH PIT

DOOR SHOULD NEVER BE LEFT

OPEN. ALSO NOTE THAT A STOVE

SHOULD NEVER BE LEFT U N AT-

TENDED WITH THE ASH PIT DOOR

OPEN.

Serious damage to the stove can

occur from overheating.

Coal stoves should not be installed

in any chimney that has had a history of

back-drafting or flow reversal. These

conditions can cause improper draft,

resulting in carbon monoxide entering

the house rather than being drawn up

the chimney. REMEMBER! COAL

GASES ARE TOXIC!

Sulfur dioxide, sulfur trioxide and

other ions released from coal burning

may corrode stainless and masonry

chimneys, and even terra cotta chim-

ney liners and brick in nearby buildings.

Coal with high sulfur content will

destroy chimneys especially fast if soot

sits in the flue for extended lengths of

time. It is important to clean chimneys

regularly.
