On the lid.
The handle on the front door of your TLC 2000 is
attached to a threaded shaft. After a period of time, you
may nd that the front door does not close as rmly
as when your stove was new. This is due to a natural
compression of the gaskets. To tighten the seal, open
the door and rotate the handle one full turn counter-
clockwise or bend the latch plate on the stove.
The optional blower on your TLC 2000 stove requires
very little maintenance. You should, however, keep the
air inlet and the motor free of dust and dirt.
Sometimes it will be necessary to clean accumulated
ash from the glass surface; allowing this ash to remain
on the glass for long periods can result in “etching” due
to the acidity of the ash. The creosote which accumu-
lates on the glass should burn off during your hot res.
Never clean the glass while it is hot, and do not
use abrasive substances. Wash the surface with cool
water, and rinse thoroughly. You may wish to use a
non-abrasive cleaner specically designed for use on
stove glass. In any case, dry thoroughly before relight-
ing your stove.
Gaskets are used on the doors and top lid of the TLC
2000. You must check these gaskets from time to time,
and replace them when necessary. The gaskets are
made of berglass of different sizes (obtainable from
Harman Dealer) and are xed in place with a high tem-
perature stove gasket cement. To change a gasket, rst
remove the worn berglass and clean the area with a
wire brush. Also clean any other surfaces that come into
contact with the gasket. Place a small bead of cement
in the area under the gasket, then press new gasket
material into the channel; do not overlap the ends. Seat
the gasket rmly by applying pressure when possible;
for example, after changing the door gasket, close the
door. Allow the cement to dry before using your stove.
