G. Helpful Hints
When operating your Harman
®
P42i-TCPelletInsert,follow
basic safetystandards. Read these instructions carefully
before you attempt to operate the P42i-TC Pellet Insert.
Failure to do so may result in damage to property or personal
injuryandmayvoidtheproductwarranty.
Cleaning Burn Pot: Whenever your stove is not burning, take
the opportunity to scrape the burn pot to remove carbon buildup.
A vacuum cleaner is handy to remove the residue. Be sure the
stove is cold if you use a vacuum.
Carbonbuildupcanbescrapedloosewiththereburningusingthe
specialtoolprovidedwithyourstove.Scrapetheoorandsidesof
the burn pot. The carbon will be pushed out by the incoming fuel.
Always wear gloves when scraping the burnpot.
Disposal of Ashes: Ashes should be placed in a steel
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.
Otherwasteshallnotbeplacedinthiscontainer.
Soot and Flyash Formation and Need for Removal: The
productsofcombustionwillcontainsmallparticlesofyash.
The yash will collect in the exhaust venting system and
restricttheowoftheuegases.Incompletecombustion,
such as occurs during startup, shutdown, 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.
Whenburningwoodpelletsonlow,thepotentialexistsfor
creosote to form. The venting system should be inspected
periodically throughout the heating season to determine
if creosote buildup has occurred. If a signicant layer of
creosote has accumulated (1/8” or more), it should be
removedtoreducetheriskofachimneyre.Ifareoccurs,
calltheredepartment,shutdownthestove,andevacuate
the residence. Before using the appliance, have the venting
system thoroughly inspected and replace any damaged
components.
With any hearth appliance, installation of smoke detectors/
CarbonMonoxidedetectorsisrecommendedoneverylevel
of the home.
Possible causes of smoke detector activation:
Paintcuringprocess-Openawindowneartheappliance
fortherstfewhoursofburning.
Exhaustbeingdrawnbackinsidethedwelling-Outsideair
connection to the appliance is necessary.
Vent leakage - Follow vent manufacturers instructions for
proper sealing.
CAUTION
This appliance must be vented to the outside.
H. Fuel Specications
TheP42i-TCPelletInsertisapprovedforburninganygrade
ofpelletizedbio-massfuel.
It should be noted, however, that higher ash content will
require more frequent cleaning.
Themoisturecontentofpelletsmustnotexceed8%.Higher
moisturewillrobBTU’sandmaynotburnproperly.
Fuel should not be stored within the stove installation
clearances or within the space required for cleaning and
ash removal.
Fuel and Fuel Storage
Pellet fuel quality can uctuate from manufacturer to
manufacturer, and even from bag to bag.
Hearth&HomeTechnologiesrecommendsusingonlyfuel
thatiscertiedbythePelletFuelsInstitute(PFI).
FuelMaterial
• Madefromsawdustand/orotherwoodby-products
• Sourcematerialtypicallydeterminesashcontent
HigherAshContentMaterial
• Hardwoods with high mineral content
• Bark and leaves as source material
• “Standard”gradepelletsandotherbiomass
LowerAshContentMaterial
• Softwood;pine,r,etc.
• Materialswithlowermineralcontent
• “Premium” grade pellets
Performance
• Higher ash content requires more frequent maintenance.
• “Premium” grade pellets will produce the highest heat
output.
• Burning pellets longer than 1-1/2 inches (38mm) can
cause inconsistent feeding and/or ignition.
Clinkers
• Mineralsandothernon-combustiblematerials,likesand,
willturnintoahardglass-likesubstancewhenheated.
• Trees from di󰀨erentareaswillvaryinmineral content.
For this reason, some fuels will produce more clinkers
than others.
Moisture
• Always burn dry fuel. Burning fuel with high moisture
content takes energy to dry and tends to cool the
appliance thus, robbing heat from your home.
• Damp pellet fuel could turn back into sawdust which
doesnotowproperlythroughthefeedsystem.
