InstallingtoaPrefabricatedChimney
When venting your TLC 2000 using a prefabricated 
chimney, be sure to contact local building code authorities, 
and to follow the manufacturer’s instructions exactly.  Use 
only the manufacturer’s parts; do not use makeshift installa-
tion techniques.  All prefabricated chimneys must be tested 
to either the U.S. or Canadian high-temperature standards, 
UL 103 or ULC-629.
 
Warning:Donotinstallinsleepingroom.
The Harman TLC 2000 was tested with the fuel door 
open and closed.  
If you operate with the door open, open the by-pass and 
put a screen over the opening.
Do not burn any fuel other those specied. Other sloid 
fuels, such as charcoal, can cause increased carbon mon-
oxide production or overring.  Never use highly volatile 
substances in your stove, such as gasoline, which could 
cause an explosion.
When solid fuels are burned completely, they produce 
water and carbon dioxide.  However, in long slow burns, a 
substantial amount of carbon monoxide may be produced.  
If allowed to build up, carbon monoxide (which is odorless) 
can prove fatally poisonous.  Proper ventilation and draft 
will prevent this from happening.  If you smell smoke, turn 
up the air control lever setting, and thoroughly 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 setting.
Other causes of poor ventilation or draft are icing, ex-
haust fans, a blocked outside air inlet, and room air starva-
tion.  If your stove is sluggish and you get occasional odor, 
check these possibilities and increase the air ow in your 
home.
