OPERATION
BestresultsfromshakingwithHarman®grateswilloccurif
short"choppy"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reduetoblockedairow.
Theproperamountnormallyoccurswhenredcoalsrststart
todropthroughontothebedofashes.
8.5 DRAFT CONTROLS
Theheatoutputofthecoaliscontrolledbytheprimarydraft
controlonthe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-correcting 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
pansothattheyinanywayimpedetheowofcombustion
airtothere.Excessashaccumulationcancausethere
togooutandalsocancauseseveredamagetothegrates
becauseofabsenceofacoolingowofairbeneaththem.
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight
ttinglid.Theclosedcontainerofashesshouldbeplaced
on a non-combustible oor or on the ground, well away
fromallcombustiblematerials,pendingnal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.
CAUTION!
ASHES SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO ACCUMULATE
ABOVE THE TOP OF THE ASH PAN. ASHES IN
CONTACT WITH THE BOTTOM OF THE GRATES ACT
AS AN INSULATOR, INTENSIFYING THE HEAT ON THE
GRATES AND COULD CAUSE THEIR WARPAGE. WITH
AN EXCESSIVE ASH BUILDUP, PRIMARY COMBUSTION
AIR IS RESTRICTED, THUS, THE UNIT'S OUTPUT COULD
BE REDUCED.
GRATES DAMAGED IN THIS WAY ARE EASILY
RECOGNIZED BY THE EXTREME DAMAGE CAUSED
TO THE GRATES.
PLEASE REFER TO YOUR WARRANTY TO SEE THE
LIMITS OF LIABILITY IN CASES OF ABUSE OR NEGLECT.
8.3 INCREASING HEAT FROM A LOW FIRE
Everyeffortshouldbemadenottoletacoalreburntoo
longsothattherehasstartedtodie.Thiswillcausethe
reloadingprocesstobemuchlonger,andthereisagood
possibilityoflosingthere.
Do not shake or stir with a low re.
Openthedraftcontrolwideoropenthe
ashcleanoutdoortogetthemaximumdraft,butmakesure
you close the ash door as soonas a reasonablere has
beenestablished.
Start adding small amounts of coal, and follow the same
proceduresasinparagraphs3and4insection8.1.
Whenthenewcoalisthoroughlyignitedorthereisasubstantial
bedofhotcoals,thestovemaybeshakenthoroughly.Be
suretoshakedownalldeadashes (but do not overshake).
Assoonasyouseeasprinkleofredcoalash STOP!
Aftershaking,keepthebottomdraftcontrolopenuntilyou
aresurethere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theash
dooropen).
NEVER LEAVE THE ROOM WITH THE BOTTOM DOOR
OPEN.
NEVER LEAVE THE INSERT BURN FOR EXTENDED
PERIODS WITH BOTTOM DOOR OPEN.
A SERIOUS OVERHEAT COULD OCCUR AND VOID
YOUR WARRANTY. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO
NEVER ALLOW THE TEMPERATURE OF YOUR INSERT
TO EXCEED 500 DEGREES F. OPERATION ABOVE THIS
TEMPERATURE WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
Counttheexactnumberofturnsfromfully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.
8.4 SHAKING
Shakingshouldbedoneonlywhenthereisahotre.
Thefrequencyofshakingwilldependonthetypeofstove
anddegreeofburning.Shakingshouldbedoneatleastonce
aday,andpreferablytwiceaday.
