The glass used in your stove is manufactured to exact
standards to withstand the high heat of the fire, but like all
glass, it must be treated with common sense and care. Never
abuse the glass by slamming the door shut or striking the
glass with a heavy object. If the glass is broken or damaged,
do not operate the stove until it has been replaced.
glass - replacement
Remove pieces carefully. Replace glass only with
Harman® replacement arched glass Part #3-40-247127
12.25"X10"X0.188" (311mmX254mmX5mm) ceramic; do
Not use Substitutes.
Carefully remove damaged glass, gasket material, and hold
down clips (set aside).
Install the self adhesive 1/4"" gasket material around the front
face of the glass. Set the glass panel and gasket gently onto
the door. Install the hold down clips and tighten with bolts.
glass - Cleaning
Sometimes it will be necessary to clean accumulated ash
from the glass surface; allowing this ash to remain on the
glass for long periods can result in "etching" due to the acidity
of the ash. Never clean the glass while it is hot, and do not
use abrasive substances. Wash the surface with cool water,
and rinse thoroughly. You may wish to use a non-abrasive
cleaner specifically designed for use on stove glass. In any
case, dry thoroughly before relighting your stove.
Inspect the hopper lid sponge gasket. It is
important to maintain a good hopper lid seal.

cleaning and inspection
Creosote - Formation and Need for removal - When wood
is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors,
which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The
creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney
flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue
accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote
makes an extremely hot fire. The pellet vent pipe should be
inspected at least twice monthly during the heating season
to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If creosote
has accumulated (3mm or more) it should be removed to
reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
Guidance on minimizing creosote formation and the need
for periodic creosote removal: The chimney should be
inspected periodically during the heating season to determine
if a creosote build-up has occurred. If a significant layer of
creosote has accumulated, 1/8" (3mm) or more, it should be
removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
Soot and Flyash: Formation and Need for removal- The
products of combustion will contain small particles of
flyash. The flyash will collect in the exhaust venting
system and restrict the flow of flue gases. Incomplete
combustion, such as occurs during start-up, shut-
down, or incorrect operation of the room heater will lead
to some soot formation which will collect in the exhaust
venting system. The exhaust venting system should
be inspected at least once every year to determine if
cleaning is necessary.
Most retailers offer a cleaning service for their customers.
The best time to have this cleaning performed is after the
heating season.
If You Experience a Soot or Creosote
Fire; Turn the mode selector dial to the
"OFF" position. Allow the unit to shut-
down. do NOT disconnect the power
to the appliance. do NOT open the
Glass Gasket
appliance door or hopper lid. Contact
your dealer to have the unit professionally
inspected and cleaned prior to use.
Replace glass
only with high
temperature
ceramic glass.
