Warning: Do not install
in
sleeping room.
The
Harman
Oakwood was tested with fuel
door open
and
closed. Keep door closed for nor-
mal
operatiJlg conditions.
If
you operate with doors open, open
the
by-
pass
and
put
a screen over the opening.
Do
not burn any fuel other than wood, such as char-
coal, which can cause increased. carbon monoxide pro-
duction or overfrring. Never use highly volatile substances
in your stove, such as g;soline,
wHich copld cause an
explosion.
.'
When solid fuels are burned completely, tliey pro-
duce water and
carbon dioxide. However, in long slow
burns, a substantial
8.mo~nt
of
-carbon monoxide may
be
produced.
If
allowed to build up, carbon monoxide (which
is odorless) can prove fatally poisonous. Proper ventila-
tion and draft will prevent
this"from happening.
If
you
smell smoke, turn up the air control lever setting, and thor-
oughly ventilate your dwelling. During future burns,
be
careful not to overload the stove with fuel, so you will
not
be tempted to constantly operate at a low air control set-
ting.
Other causes
of
poor ventilation or draft are icing,
exhaust fans, a blocked outside
air
inlet, and
room
air
starvation.
If
your stove is sluggish and you get occa-
sional odor, check these possibilities and increase the air
flow
in
your home.
Caution: Always wear fire-resistant gloves
,;
to operate the stove. The
air
control is
hot
while in operation.
