H. Multiple Venting - No more than one device shall vent into the same chimney flue. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER ABOUT CHIMNEYS IS THEIR NEED FOR MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING. IF CHIMNEYS ARE NOT CLEANED ON A FREQUENT BASIS. IT WILL AFFECT THE DRAFT, AS WELL AS BEING A CONTRIBUTING CAUSE TO A CHIMNEY FIRE.

The holes should be of suitable diameter for the sheet metal screws or pop rivets used for fastening. Figure 4.

CAUTION! BEFORE CLEANING CHIMNEY AND SMOKE PIPE BE SURE FIRE IS OUT AND INSIDE OF STOVE IS COOL. Cleaning The Chimney and Smoke Pipe Avoid chimney fires. On a regular schedule, check for creosote and soot buildup in the chimney, smoke pipe and spiral chamber. They must be kept clean. Keep a professional chimney sweep in mind if you have access to one. Steel brushes are the safest for cleaning metal surfaces. Salt solutions and some chemicals may damage metal surfaces. Do not overfire your stove.
8.4 Shaking Shaking should be done only when there is a hot fire. The frequency of shaking will depend on the type of stove and the degree of burning. Shaking should be done at least once a day, and preferably twice a day. Best results from shaking with Harman grates will occur if short “choppy” strokes are used rather than long, even strokes. The amount of shaking is critical. Too little or too much, either can result in the extinguishing of a fire due to blocked air flow.
. Optional Hot Water Coil (Not Available For Mark I) PLUMBING DIAGRAM FOR THERMO-SIPHON METHOD - MAX. DISTANCE 10 FT. COIL INSTALLATION (See Coil Diagram on Page 14) Place one of the nuts supplied on each leg of the coil. Place coil through the holes in the back of the firebox and adjust the nuts so the pipes stick out about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches from the side of the stove. Put flat washers and nuts on the outside and tighten within 1/4 inch.
PLUMBING DIAGRAM FOR CIRCULATING PUMP METHOD - MORE THAN 10 FT. CIRCULATING PUMP METHOD (MORE THAN 10 FEET) This method is used when the hot water heater tank is more than ten feet away from the stove or the stove is on a higher level than the hot water heater tank. In addition to a circulator pump, you may want to add an aquastat to thermostatically control the pump according to water temperature. This is optional and not necessary if the circulator pump is left run continuously.
