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.
