Like all ne equipment, your TLC 2000 requires some
routine maintenance and inspection. Follow the guidelines
in this section to guarantee safe, efcient operation.
The Stove
Surface
The stove’s exterior surface should be dusted periodically
with a soft cloth. For more thorough cleaning, wait until
the stove is cool before using a damp cloth to clean any
blemishes.
Controls
To avoid a rust build-up on the inner surfaces of the
controls, work the controls back and forth several times,
during the summer, or any prolonged period when you are
not using your stove.
The Fire Chamber
The inside of the re chamber should be examined for
damage to the rebrick lining material, and grates. If
any bricks have been damaged, replace them with Harman
replacement parts.
Venting System / Chimney
Creosote - Formation and the need for removal-
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and
other organic vapors, which combine with expelled
moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors
condense in a cool chimney of a slow burning
re. As a result, creosote residue accumulates in
the ue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes
an extremely hot re. The chimney connector and
chimney must be inspected at least once every two
months during the heating season to determine if
a creosote build-up has occurred. If a signicant
layer of creosote has accumulated (3mm or more),
it must be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney
re.
In the event of a chimney re, call your local
re department; make sure everyone is safely out
of the house. Reduce the air intake of the stove
as much as possible using the air control lever.
Do not throw water on the re; this can cause
stove damage and create an even more dangerous
situation. Have your chimney professionally
cleaned and inspected before resuming burning
in your stove.
Glass - Replacement
The glass in this unit is a ceramic glass. 5mm X 444mm X
311 mm. available from your Harman dealer.
If the stove’s glass is cracked or broken, you must replace
it before operating your stove. Remove pieces carefully.
Replace glass only with Harman supplied replacement glass
panels; do not use substitutes.
To replace the glass panel, you will need to remove the
door. To do this, open the door, lift it straight up and place it
on a soft surface.
Carefully remove damaged glass, gasket material, and hold
down clips (set aside).
Referring to the diagram, note how the various components
of the door system t together. Lay the load door face down
on the soft surface, and install the self adhesive 1/4" gasket
material around the front face of the glass.
Set the glass pane and gasket gently onto the door. Install
the hold down clips and tighten with bolts as shown. Reinstall
door on stove.
