Thank you for purchasing the Harman TL300 Wood Stove. We are condent that you will enjoy the warmth and
convenience of your Harman Stove for decades to come.
With the TL300 you will notice even heat throughout your home and long burn times. This is possible because of
Harman’s special FireDome Non-Catalytic Combustion System, designed into the TL300 to promote clean burning
and even heat output. This equates to unvarying heat over a longer period of time without the temperature peaks
and valleys of other wood stoves. The FireDome continues Harman’s reputation of high efciency while saving
you the expense associated with catalytic stoves. The top load door makes adding wood easier and allows more
wood to t into the large rebox. You can view your beautiful re through the extra large glass door. The glass
stays cleaner because of the special IR coated glass and the exclusive Harman Air Wash System.
The Harman TL300 has an ash pan with its own ash door which allows removal of ashes while the stove is in
operation. This means you can keep a re all winter if you desire.
The Harman TL300 offers a cooking grill that can be placed in the top of the stove while in operation. This allows
you to grill your favorite meats all year long even when the weather is not suitable for outside grilling. If you haven't
already purchased the cooking grill, you can do so from your Authorized Harman Dealer.

Your stove has a large glass-paneled door for loading
and re viewing, a separate smaller door for removing
ashes, and a top loading door.

Before opening, always check for wood, embers, or
ash that may be ready to fall out of the door.
To open the glass door, open bypass damper rst,
by pulling forward on the top load door handle, to the
rst position. Then lift up on the front door handle to
disengage the latch, and pull out. To close the door,
push door closed with handle in the open position, then
push handle down to engage the latch.

To open the ash door, open the bypass damper rst.
Lift up on the ash door handle and pull it open. Close
the door by pushing in and pushing the handle all the
way down.

To open the top load door, pull forward on the top
load door handle. The rst position tells you the bypass
damper is open. Continue pivoting the handle toward
you until it locks the top load door open.
All doors must be closed while the stove is in normal
operation, and the gaskets routinely examined for wear
and replaced when necessary. Good door seals are
important for maintaining control of the stove. Never
operate with the ash door open. Operating the stove with
the ash door open, or with a door improperly sealed,
could create a serious overring condition (discussed
later in this section).

Before you install and/or operate your TL300 wood
stove, please read the entire contents of this manual.
Pay particular attention to the explanation of draft and its
effect on stove performance, in the installation section.
By following the installation and operating guidelines,
you will ensure proper draft and gain maximum
efciency and enjoyment from your stove.

Your TL300 burns wood very efciently. Here are
some guidelines concerning log size and moisture
content that will help you obtain the best performance.
Select dry seasoned wood. For example, it should be
checked or cracked on the ends and not exposed to rain
or extremely damp conditions. Hardwoods are favored
because they are heavier and contain more heating
capacity (BTU’s) per load than do softwoods. Wood
should be split and stored under cover for “seasoning” -
a year is recommended. Your stove is not an incinerator
- do not burn garbage, painted or treated wood, plastics,
or other debris.
Keep the area around the stove free from clutter.
Keep all combustibles, including fuel, beyond the code-
required clearance distance (48" or 1215 mm in the
U.S., 1525 mm or 60" in Canada). Never store fuel
in front of the stove where it could interfere with door
operation, safe loading, and ash removal.

The glass used in your TL300 is manufactured to
exact standards to withstand the high heat of the
re, but like all glass, it must be treated with common
sense and care. Never abuse the glass by slamming
the door shut or striking the glass with a heavy object.
If the glass is broken or damaged, do not operate the
stove until it has been replaced (See instructions in
Maintenance section.)

The Harman TL300 has a unique grate system that
consists of one bottom grate, and two front andirons.
The bottom grate has slots which allow the ash to
fall into the ash pan by passing a poker back and
forth across the grate. The andirons keep the fuel
from coming into direct contact with the glass, and
keep hot coals and embers from spilling out while
reloading. Never build a re directly against the
glass. Andiron extensions (included with each stove)
clip onto the xed andirons and serve to protect the
glass when top loading is used as the primary load-
ing method. The grates and andirons must remain in
place at all times. Do not tamper with or change the
conguration of this grate system.

Clearance is the empty space required between
the stove or chimney connector and the nearest
combustible surface or object, such as walls, ceilings,
oors, or furniture. Clearance distances may only be
reduced by using methods approved by either the
CAN/CSA B365 standard (Canada) or NFPA 211 (U.S.)
Contact your building authority for information if you are
interested in reducing clearance distances below those
presented here.

A parallel installation is one in which the back and
sides of the stove are parallel to the walls behind and
to the side of the stove. A corner installation is one in
which the back of the stove is positioned diagonally
across a corner of the room. Each installation requires
its own set of clearances.
For parallel installations, the required clearance
distances from the stove are:
1) to the side wall, 20" (508 mm);
2) to the back wall, 18" (458 mm).
3) From the chimney connector to the wall, 31"(787 mm)
4) Hortizontal pipe to the ceiling, 15"(381 mm).
: For a vertical chimney connector in a parallel
installation the distance from the connector to the side
wall must be 31"(787 mm), due to the required side
clearance of the stove itself. Fireplace installations must
meet these same clearance requirements; specically
follow these guidelines for mantel and trim clearances.
For corner installations, the clearance distances from
the stove are 18"(458 mm) from each corner of the stove
measured straight to the nearest combustible material,
and 27" (686 mm) from the chimney connector to the
walls.
From the front of the stove, clearance to combustible
materials such as furniture, curtains, fuel, etc.: 48"(1220
mm) in the . and 60"(1524 mm) in Due to
excessive heat build-up at the wall passthrough, using

Floor protection is required under your TL300. This
oor protection must be a minimum of 20 ga. sheet
metal in thickness, it can also be stone or tile or other
masonry material, providing it is non-combustible. This
oor protection must extend 18 inches in front of the
door opening and 8 inches to each side and to the rear
of the stove body. There must also be oor protection
under any horizontal sections of venting regardless of
their height from the oor.

The TL300 is approved for mobile home installations
in the US only. Mobile Home installation should be done
in accordance with the Manufactured Home and Safety
Standard (HUD), CFR 3280, part 24.
When installing the TL300 in a mobile home, several
requirements must be met:
1. The unit must be bolted to the oor. This can
be done through the rear of the pedestal with 3" lag
screws, using the holes where the unit was bolted to
the shipping pallet.
2. The unit must be connected to outside air. See
Outside air section on page 21.
3. Floor protection and specied clearances to
combustibles must be followed.
4. Unit must be grounded to the metal frame of the
mobile home.
5. Smoke detectors and/or smoke alarms are
recommended on each oor of the house. Note that
when loading re, some smoke seepage may occur, and
set off the alarm. Ventilate as necessary to eliminate the
problem. If the alarm should sound otherwise, cease
the use of the appliance and call your dealer for service.

Draft is widely misunderstood. It is important that you,
the stove operator, realize that draft is a variable ,
not a given quantity. Stoves and chimneys do not 
draft, yet draft is the key to your stove’s performance.
Draft is a force, produced by an operating stove and
the chimney to which it is attached. It is created by
hot gases rising up the chimney, creating a pressure
difference between the inside of your home and the
outside air. It continually moves fresh combustion air
into the stove, and hot exhaust gases out of the stove;
without this constant ow, the re will go out.
Other factors, such as barometric pressure, winds, the
tightness of the home, the total inside chimney volume,
chimney height and the presence of venting devices
such as exhaust fans also play a role in maintaining
an adequate draft. Low barometric pressures, super
insulated homes, and exhaust fans can reduce draft;
winds can play havoc with draft; and too large or too
small a chimney volume can cause reduced draft due
to the excessive cooling or not enough room to vent
the exhaust gases. Introducing outside air directly
to the stove may help remedy a low draft problem.
Some signs of inadequate draft are smoking, odor,
difculty in maintaining the re, and low heat output.
Overdraft can be caused by a very tall chimney even if
it is the recommended size, and can cause overring
of your stove. Signs of an overdraft include rapid fuel
consumption, inability to slow the re, and parts of the
stove or chimney connector glowing red. It is important
that you follow the chimney guidelines in this manual,
including size, type, and height to avoid draft problems.
When installed and operated according to this manual,
the TL300 will produce enough hot gases to keep the
chimney warm so that adequate draft is maintained
throughout the burn cycle.

In general, following these guidelines will ensure
compliance with all national and provincial codes; prior
to beginning your installation, check with your local
building code ofcial(s) regarding any additional local
requirements or regulations which may inuence the
design and placement of your venting system.
The Harman TL300 may be installed with (.6 mm)
24 gauge chimney connector pipe. The size of the
connector should correspond to the size of the ue collar
opening. Do not use makeshift components.
No part of the chimney connector may pass through
an attic or roof space, closet or other concealed space,
or through a oor or ceiling. Whenever possible, avoid
passing the connector through a combustible wall; if you
must, use an approved wall pass-through, described
later in this section.
Assemble the connector beginning at the ue collar,
with the crimped ends pointing towards the stove (to
keep debris and creosote akes inside the system).
Each joint, including the one to the stove’s ue collar
and the one to the chimney itself should be secured
with at least three sheet metal screws. Screws may
be a maximum of 3 inches apart. A 1-1/4" (32 mm)
overlap is required at each joint, including the ue col-
lar attachment. No more than two 90 degree elbows
should be used, and the total length of connector should
not exceed 10 feet (3m) All horizontal runs of connector
must have a minimum upward slope of 1/4 inch per foot
(20 mm per meter).

Occasionally it is necessary to pass the chimney
connector through a combustible wall to reach the
chimney. Depending on your local building codes, and
the pertinent provincial or national codes, there are
several choices for accomplishing this safely. Before
beginning your installation, contact local ofcials, and
also the chimney connector and chimney manufacturer
for specic requirements.
  Three methods are approved by the
Canadian Standards Association. The diagram shows
one method requiring an 18" (460 mm) air space
between the connector and the wall. It allows use of one
or two covers as described in the diagram. The other
two methods are described in detail in the current issue
of CAN/CSA B365, the national standard.
In the U.S., the national code is NFPA
211. While many localities adopt this standard, be sure
to check with local authorities before beginning your
installation.
The NFPA (National Fire Protection Association)
permits four methods for passing through a combustible
wall. A commonly used method to pass through a wall
directly to a masonry chimney is to clear a minimum
12"(305 mm) around the entire chimney connector,
and ll it with brick masonry which is at least 3.5"(90
mm) thick. A reclay liner, minimum 3/8" (9 mm) wall
thickness must run through the brick wall to the chimney
liner (but not beyond the inner surface of the liner). It
must be cemented in place with refractory cement.
This method is illustrated. For details on the other three
options, refer to the most recent edition of the NFPA
211 code.

The TL300 must be installed into a chimney approved
for use with solid-fuel appliances. In the U.S., the TL300
must be connected to (1) a prefabricated chimney
complying with the requirements for Type HT chimneys
in the Standard for Chimneys, Factory-Built, Residential
Type and Building Heating Appliances, UL 103, or (2)
a code-approved masonry chimney with a ue liner.
In Canada, the TL300 is listed for use with prefabricated
chimneys tested and listed to the high temperature (650
degrees C) chimney standard, ULC S-629, or with a
code approved masonry chimney.
For mobile homes,(US only) the TL300 must only be
installed with prefabricated chimney systems, including
the installation components, tested to use in mobile
homes; the diameter should match the diameter of the
ue collar opening
The minimum recommended height for any chimney
is 16 ft (4.8 m) above ue collar height. For non-mobile
home installations, a round ue (either masonry or
approved prefabricated), of either 6" (150 mm), 7"
(180 mm) or 8" (200 mm) may be used. For square or
rectangular masonry chimneys, nominal sizes of 8" x
8" or 8"x 12" (200mm x 200 mm, 200 mm x 300 mm)
may be used.
Codes require that solid-fuel chimneys extend 3 ft (0.9
m) above the highest point at which they exit from the
roof. Then, the chimney must extend 2 ft.(6 m) above
the highest point within a 10 ft (3 m) radius. Thus, the
3 foot, 2 foot, 10 foot rule:  - Above roof exit point

Do not burn any fuel other than wood, such as
charcoal, which can cause increased carbon monoxide
production or overfiring. 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,
exhaust fans, a blocked outside air inlet, and room
air starvation. If your stove is sluggish and you get
occasional odor, check these possibilities and increase
the air ow in your home.

When venting your TL300 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

If you plan on using a pre-existing masonry chimney,
have it thoroughly inspected and cleaned. Any faults
which make the chimney unsafe and unusable must be
repaired prior to use. These can include improper height,
structural defects, blockages, inadequate clearance to
combustibles, unsealed openings into other rooms of
the house, signs of creosote or smoke leakage, a loose
or absent clean-out door, or absence of a liner.

When connecting to a masonry chimney, several
provisions are standard. First, whether the chimney
connector is vented to the chimney through a thimble
or a breech pipe, neither must pass beyond the inner
surface of the chimney liner, and both must be rmly
cemented in place with refractory cement. (A thimble is
a masonry pipe which is inserted through the chimney
wall, and is frequently the preferred method; a breech
pipe is a piece of steel pipe used the same way.) In
Canada, a breech pipe has ridges or protrusions to lock
it rmly into the refractory cement. In either case, the
chimney connector vents to the chimney through the
thimble or breech pipe.
Using a thimble, the connector slides completely
inside the masonry to the inner edge of the ue liner,
and may be easily removed for chimney and connector
inspection. A breech pipe must extend at least 2" (50
mm) into the room, so the connector can be attached
with sheetmetal screws.

In some situations, a code compliant chimney origi-
nally used for a masonry replace may be used to install
your TL300. In addition to the requirements found in
the previous paragraphs, it is important to be aware
that all clearances must be met, including those from
the chimney connector to combustibles. Do not forget
to include oor protection in your plans. (See Clear-
ances and Floor Protection in this section.) Since many
replaces have exposed wooden mantels and trim, pay
special attention to the clearances necessary to these
materials.
If your replace chimney is behind a combustible wall,
you must use an approved wall pass-through system
to gain access to the masonry chimney. The chimney
connector must enter the chimney at a place where it
is lined, and the replace must be made inoperable.
For example, you might remove the damper, replacing
it with a secure, airtight, noncombustible seal (remov-
able for inspection); this also satises the requirement
that no room air must be allowed to enter the chimney.

Combustion in the Harman TL300 is precisely
controlled and is divided into two parts.
During combustion, primary air enters at the
bottom front of the stove and travels up channels
at either side of the front door. This pre-heated air
then enters the manifold, located above the front
door, where it is released into the rebox as a sheet
of air between the glass and the re. This air-wash
system cleans the glass as it provides oxygen to
the rebox.
Secondary combustion air enters the stove at the
bottom rear of the stove. Here, in the "Firedome", it
mixes additional oxygen with the exhaust, causing
it to be re-burned. This secondary combustion
is necessary to achieve and sustain long, clean
burning.
During combustion, the burning of wood proceeds
through several stages. The initial or evaporation
stage is where the moisture in the wood is driven off
in the form of steam. During the second stage, the
volatile gases contained in the wood are released
and burned. This represents most of the wood's
heating capacity. The nal stage is the charcoal
stage where the charcoal burns the remaining
heat content out of the fuel. Ash remains after the
burning is complete. Within the primary rebox,
two or more of these stages of combustion are
occurring simultaneously.

Two important controls - the top load door handle
and the air control lever regulate the operation and
output of the stove.

The top loading door handle is linked to the bypass
damper and serves two purposes. Move the handle
forward one position (approximately 3") and the
handle automatically opens the bypass damper,
you must open the bypass damper, or smoke will
come into the room. In this mode of operation
the combustion gases go directly from the main
combustion chamber to the ue collar and exit into
the chimney.

Begin with the bypass damper open, and the air
control lever at the maximum setting, all the way
to the right. Be sure the ash pan door is closed
and latched.
Start with a bed of crumpled paper and kindling
sized about finger width; place several 1" - 2"
(25mm - 50mm) split pieces of dry wood on top of the
kindling, followed by a few 2" - 3" (50 mm - 80 mm)
split pieces. Lay the wood in a crossed pattern to
allow maximum air ow. Ignite the paper and close
the loading door(s). Allow this start-up re to burn
for a few minutes, keeping the bypass damper
open. Add about ve more pieces of wood in the
2 to 3 inch (50 - 80mm) size range, making sure
that the fuel bed is all the way across the rebox
and staggered to allow airow. Close the door and
allow this loading to burn a few minutes.
Add increasingly larger pieces of wood to the
re until you have a thick bed of hot embers,
approximately 2 to 3 inches deep at the back of
the grate and at least an inch deep at the front.

Providing you have the charcoal bed described
above, close the bypass damper by pulling the
handle toward the front of the stove. This will begin
the highly efcient mode of operation where the
exhaust gases get re-burned in the secondary
combustion package. If you cannot achieve a
charcoal bed within the rst 15 to 20 minutes, your
wood is likely too wet, and you may need to burn
the re longer and/or hotter to compensate for the
extra energy needed to drive out the moisture.
If, after ve minutes of burning with the damper
closed, smoke is visible coming from the chimney,
you probably do not have the proper coal bed.
Open the bypass damper and continue with the
process until a signicant coal bed is formed.
To regulate the speed of the optional convection
blower, adjust the variable speed control from low
to high by turning the knob located on the blower.
The blower speed should be matched to the air
control lever setting. When the air setting is low,
the blower should always be at the minimum set-
ting. At high settings, above the rst notch on the
air control, the blower may be set to your desired
control level. Be sure the blower cord does not run
under, over, or in front of the stove.
The air control lever is located directly below the
ash lip of the stove. Using this lever will enable
you to vary the amount of air delivered to the re,
creating a range of heat outputs. The low heat
output setting is to the left, and high is to the far
right. Do not, under any circumstances, alter the
conguration or operation of the air control lever.
For low burn, slide the air control to the leftmost
notch. For medium burns, use notches 2 or 3.
Maximum heat is attained with the air control all
the way to the right. 

Always remember to open the bypass damper when
you are loading, this allows the exhaust gases to pass
directly into the ue outlet and reduces the chance of
smoke spillage into the room.
 Once you have prepared and maintained
a thick charcoal bed, and the secondary combustion is
established, you should be able to reload the stove at
any time by simply opening the bypass damper, then
the load door, adding fuel and closing the door then the
damper. This depends on coal bed size, load size and
moisture content of fuel.
 Before reloading, empty the ash
pan (remember to close the ash door while emptying
the pan). The ashes should be the coolest at this time.
Remove ashes from the re chamber periodically by
raking a poker across the bottom grates.
Excessive ash buildup can prevent proper venting of
exhaust gases. Do not allow the ash pan to over-ll. Ash
buildup between the ash pan and the bottom of the grate
can cause the grate to overheat and wear out prematurely.
The TL300 was designed to allow access to the ash
pan without the need for opening the main door. Before
opening the ash door and removing the ash pan, open
the bypass damper. Wearing heavy protective gloves,
open the ash door and remove the ash pan by pulling it
forward by the handle. Close the ash door and damper
bypass before taking the ashes outside for safe disposal.

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar
and other organic vapors, as well as soot, which
combine with expelled moisture to form creosote.
The creosote vapors condense in the relatively
cool chimney ue (associated with a slow burning
re). As a result, creosote accumulates on the ue
lining. When ignited, this creosote can result in an
extremely hot re.
The FireDome on the TL300 cuts creosote to
almost nothing 

The chimney should be inspected at least once
every two months during the heating season to see if
any creosote build-up has occurred. Checking your
chimney and chimney connector more frequently,
especially while you are getting used to your stove,
is recommended. To inspect this system, let the
stove cool. Using a ashlight and mirror, check the
interior of the chimney connector, and the chimney
itself. If a signicant layer of creosote or soot has
accumulated (1/8" or 3 mm) it should be removed
to reduce the risk of a chimney re.
To clean deposits from the surface of the
connector, use a stiff wire brush after dismantling
the connector assembly. To clean the chimney,
use a specially designed brush sized to t your
particular flue opening, or call an established
chimney cleaning service.
At the end of the heating season, perform a
thorough examination of your chimney system, and
have it repaired if necessary.

Gaskets are used at strategic positions when
building the Harman TL300 for controlling the
path that incoming and outgoing air and gases
take through the stove. 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 your Harman

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 if required, then press new gasket material

The TL300 is designed to accommodate the use
of outside air introduced directly to the stove. The
opening is located at the back of the stove pedestal
base. You'll notice there is a rounded hole with the
etching of a larger hole. The size needed depends
on the length of pipe being used.(see below)
Check with your local building inspector to nd out
requirements determining if outside air is needed
when installing the TL300 in your area. Some
signs to watch for that indicate a possible need for
outside air: Poor performance of other heaters or
of the TL300, including smoke roll-out and odor;
the disappearance of the same symptoms when a
window is opened near the stove; and condensation
on windows in the winter. Modern homes with tight
windows and doors, vapor barriers, and particularly
with exhaust systems are the most likely to require
outside air.
An outside air duct less than 5' (1525 mm) long
may be 3" [80mm] in diameter, and be made of
masonry tile, 26 gauge (0.019) galvanized steel, or
other approved noncombustible material; it should
have a 1" (25 mm) clearance to combustibles.
Systems longer than 5' (1525 mm), or containing
more than two elbows, should have a 4" (100

Hearth & Home Technologies Inc.
LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY
Hearth & Home Technologies Inc., on behalf of its hearth brands (”HHT”), extends the following warranty for
HHT gas, wood, pellet, coal and electric hearth appliances that are purchased from an HHT authorized dealer.
WARRANTY COVERAGE:
HHT warrants to the original owner of the HHT appliance at the site of installation, and to any transferee taking ownership
of the appliance at the site of installation within two years following the date of original purchase, that the HHT appliance
will be free from defects in materials and workmanship at the time of manufacture. After installation, if covered compo-
nents manufactured by HHT are found to be defective in materials or workmanship during the applicable warranty period,
HHT will, at its option, repair or replace the covered components. HHT, at its own discretion, may fully discharge all of its
obligations under such warranties by replacing the product itself or refunding the verified purchase price of the product
itself. The maximum amount recoverable under this warranty is limited to the purchase price of the product. This warranty
is subject to conditions, exclusions and limitations as described below.
WARRANTY PERIOD:
Warranty coverage begins on the date of original purchase. In the case of new home construction, warranty coverage
begins on the date of first occupancy of the dwelling or six months after the sale of the product by an independent,
authorized HHT dealer/ distributor, whichever occurs earlier. The warranty shall commence no later than 24 months
following the date of product shipment from HHT, regardless of the installation or occupancy date. The warranty period for
parts and labor for covered components is produced in the following table.
The term “Limited Lifetime” in the table below is defined as: 20 years from the beginning date of warranty coverage for
gas appliances, and 10 years from the beginning date of warranty coverage for wood, pellet, and coal appliances. These
time periods reflect the minimum expected useful lives of the designated components under normal operating conditions.
See conditions, exclusions, and limitations on next page.

WARRANTY CONDITIONS:
This warranty only covers HHT appliances that are purchased through an HHT authorized dealer or distributor. A list of
HHT authorized dealers is available on the HHT branded websites.
This warranty is only valid while the HHT appliance remains at the site of original installation.
Contact your installing dealer for warranty service. If the installing dealer is unable to provide necessary parts, contact
the nearest HHT authorized dealer or supplier. Additional service fees may apply if you are seeking warranty service
from a dealer other than the dealer from whom you originally purchased the product.
Check with your dealer in advance for any costs to you when arranging a warranty call. Travel and shipping charges
for parts are not covered by this warranty.
This warranty is void if:
The appliance has been over-fired or operated in atmospheres contaminated by chlorine, fluorine, or other damaging
chemicals. Over-firing can be identified by, but not limited to, warped plates or tubes, rust colored cast iron, bubbling,
cracking and discoloration of steel or enamel finishes.
The appliance is subjected to prolonged periods of dampness or condensation.
There is any damage to the appliance or other components due to water or weather damage which is the result of, but
not limited to, improper chimney or venting installation.
LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY:
The owner’s exclusive remedy and HHT’s sole obligation under this warranty, under any other warranty, express or
implied, or in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be limited to replacement, repair, or refund, as specified above. In no
event will HHT be liable for any incidental or consequential damages caused by defects in the appliance. Some states
do not allow exclusions or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so these limitations may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific rights; you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state. EXCEPT TO
THE EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, HHT MAKES NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES OTHER THAN THE WARRANTY
SPECIFIED HEREIN. THE DURATION OF ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY IS LIMITED TO DURATION OF THE
EXPRESSED WARRANTY SPECIFIED ABOVE.
WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS:
This warranty does not cover the following:
Changes in surface finishes as a result of normal use. As a heating appliance, some changes in color of interior and
exterior surface finishes may occur. This is not a flaw and is not covered under warranty.
Damage to printed, plated, or enameled surfaces caused by fingerprints, accidents, misuse, scratches, melted items,
or other external sources and residues left on the plated surfaces from the use of abrasive cleaners or polishes.
Repair or replacement of parts that are subject to normal wear and tear during the warranty period. These parts
include: paint, wood, pellet and coal gaskets, firebricks, grates, flame guides, light bulbs, batteries and the discolor-
ation of glass.
Minor expansion, contraction, or movement of certain parts causing noise. These conditions are normal and com-
plaints related to this noise are not covered by this warranty.
Damages resulting from: (1) failure to install, operate, or maintain the appliance in accordance with the installation
instructions, operating instructions, and listing agent identification label furnished with the appliance; (2) failure to
install the appliance in accordance with local building codes; (3) shipping or improper handling; (4) improper opera-
tion, abuse, misuse, continued operation with damaged, corroded or failed components, accident, or improperly/
incorrectly performed repairs; (5) environmental conditions, inadequate ventilation, negative pressure, or drafting
caused by tightly sealed constructions, insufficient make-up air supply, or handling devices such as exhaust fans or
forced air furnaces or other such causes; (6) use of fuels other than those specified in the operating instructions; (7)
installation or use of components not supplied with the appliance or any other components not expressly authorized
and approved by HHT; (8) modification of the appliance not expressly authorized and approved by HHT in writing;
and/or (9) interruptions or fluctuations of electrical power supply to the appliance.
Non-HHT venting components, hearth components or other accessories used in conjunction with the appliance.
Any part of a pre-existing fireplace system in which an insert or a decorative gas appliance is installed.
HHT’s obligation under this warranty does not extend to the appliance’s capability to heat the desired space. Informa-
tion is provided to assist the consumer and the dealer in selecting the proper appliance for the application. Consider-
ation must be given to appliance location and configuration, environmental conditions, insulation and air tightness of
the structure.
