ANNUALLY . THIS INCLUDES ALL PAR TS OF
THE STOV E, AND THE V ENTING SY STEM.
Carbon monoxide, referred to as CO, is a colorless,
odorless gas that is produced during combustion of solid
fuels. CO is tox ic and can be fatal.
Even though this stove is designed to be as safe as
possible, it is recommended that you install a CO detector.
This is true for oil, gas, or wood burning products as well.
CO is not specically heavier or lighter than air. Therefore,
it is best to install the detector at table top level rather than
on the ceiling like a smoke detector.
CO detectors are very sensitive and may sound an alarm
for fumes other than CO or CO from sources other than
the stove such as a car or lawn mower exhaust.
If the alarm sounds
1. Increase house ventilation by opening windows or
doors.
2. ake sure the stove doors and hopper lid are closed
and latched.
. Check stove for electrical power and normal operation.
. Check vent for possible blockage or down-draft.
5. Check for false alarm.
Never use gasoline, lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter
uid, or similar liquids to start or freshen up a re in this
heater. eep all such liquids well away from the heater while
it is in use.

A. Design, Installation & Location
Considerations
1 . Appliance Location
Consideration must be given to safety, convenience, trafc
ow, and the fact that the appliance will need to be vented
to the outside. This appliance may only be installed into
an ex isting masonry or manufactured wood-burning
repace r un te ptna er-cearance canet t
build into a newly constructed chase. It is a good idea to
plan your installation on paper. Use exact measurements for
clearances and oor protection, before actually beginning
the installation.
aintain specied vent clearance to combustible
requirements listed by the vent manufacturers instructions
and all appliance clearances as listed in this manual.
Check with your local building code agency before you
begin your installation. Local codes may supersede the
test laboratories specications. Always obtain any required
permit(s) so that insurance protection benets cannot be
unexpectedly cancelled. If any assistance is required during
installation, please contact your dealer.
We recommend that a qualied building inspector and your
insurance company representative review your plans before
and after the installation.
2 . R oom Sensor Location
The room sensors location will have some effect on the
appliances operation. When the sensor is located close to
the appliance, it may require a higher setting to keep the
rest of the house comfortable. If the sensor is located in
an adacent room, or farther away from the stove, you will
notice higher temperatures near the appliance.
• o NOT connect this unit to a chimney flue
servicing another appliance.
• o NOT connect to any forced air distribution duct
or system.
B. F ire Safety
aintain the designated clearances to combustibles.
Insulation must not touch the chimney. You must maintain
the designated air space around the chimney. This space
around a chimney is necessary to allow natural heat
removal from the area. Insulation in this space will cause
a heat buildup, which may ignite wood framing. NOTE:
Clearances may only be reduced by means approved
by the regulatory authority having j urisdiction.
To provide reasonable re safety, the following should be
given serious consideration:
1. Install at least one smoke detector on each oor of
your home. etectors should be located away from
the heating appliance and close to sleeping areas.
ollow the smoke detector manufacturers placement
and installation instructions, and be sure to maintain
regularly.
2. A conveniently located Class A re extinguisher to
contend with small res resulting from burning embers.
. A practiced evacuation plan, consisting of at least two
escape routes.
. A plan to deal with a hopper re as follows:
In the event of a hopper re:
a. Turn appliance to O.
b. Be sure hopper lid is closed and latched.
c. Notify ire epartment.
d. o NOT pour water in the hopper.
e. Never pull the plug or otherwise disconnect the
power supply to kill a re.
ire Hazard
• o not operate appliance before
reading and understanding the
operating instructions.
• ailure to operate properly may
cause a house re.

Installation
When installing the P5i Insert into a factory built wood
burning replace, several things need to be taken into
consideration.
The size of the replace opening. Will the unit t into
the opening Some of the factory built replaces have
metal smoke shields inside the top that can be removed
to gain height. eep in mind that anything removed
from the factory built replace must be attached to the
replace with a metal wire. loor protection guidelines,
as listed previously, must also be followed.
The manufactured replace may not be altered beyond
the exceptions listed below. Never remove masonry
bricks or mortar from an existing replace.
The following modications are permissible:
• Removal of the damper or lock in open position
• Removal of smoke shelf or bafe
• Removal of andirons or ember catchers
• Removal of log grate
• Removal of view screen or curtain
• Removal of doors
• External trim pieces, that do not affect the operation
of the replace, may be removed providing they can
be stored on or within the replace for reassembly
if the insert is removed.
• If the hearth extension is lower than the replace
opening, the portion of the insert extending onto the
hearth must be supported.
• inal approval of this type of installation is contingent
upon the authority having urisdiction.
Note: If the Harman® P5i Insert is installed into a factory built wood burning replace, this

B. Avoiding Smoke and Odors
Negative Pressure, Shut-down, and Power
F ailure:
To reduce the probability of back-drafting or burn-
back in the pellet burning appliance during power
failure or shut-down conditions, the stove must
be able to draft naturally without exhaust blower
operation. Negative pressure in the house will resist this
natural draft if not accounted for in the pellet appliance
installation.
Heat rises in the house and leaks out at upper levels.
This air must be replaced with cold air from outdoors,
which ows into lower levels of the house. ents and
chimneys into basements and lower levels of the house
can become the conduit for air supply, and reverse
under these conditions.
Outside Air:
Hearth & Home Technologies recommend attaching
outside air in all installations, especially lower level
an man r catn
Per national building codes, consideration must be given
to combustion air supply to all combustion appliances.
ailure to supply adequate combustion air for all
appliance demands, may lead to back-drafting of those
and other appliances.
When the appliance is side-wall vented: The air intake
is best located on the same exterior wall as the exhaust
vent outlet and located lower on the wall than the
exhaust vent outlet.
When the appliance is roof vented: The air intake is
best located on the exterior wall oriented towards the
prevailing wind direction during the heating season.
The outside air connection will supply the demands of
the pellet appliance, but consideration must be given to
the total house demand. House demand may consume
some air needed for the stove, especially during a power
failure. It may be necessary to add additional ventilation
to the space in which the pellet appliance is located.
Consult with your local HAC professional to determine
the ventilation demands for your house.
The outside air kit consists of a ue stub pipe, berglass
gasket, silicone gasket, intake box and a section of ex
pipe.
An adustable chimney intake extension, part # 1-00-
710 is available to be used on masonry chimneys
only.
To install outside air, use kit part number 1-00-77280.
ollow the installation instructions provided with the kit.
ent nuratn
To reduce probability of reverse drafting during shut-
down conditions, Hearth  Home Technologies strongly
recommends:
• Installing the pellet vent with a minimum vertical run
of ve feet, preferably terminating above the roof line.
• Installing the outside air intake at least four feet below
the vent termination.
To prevent soot damage to exterior walls of the house
and to prevent re-entry of soot or ash into the house:
• aintain specied clearances to windows, doors,
and air inlets, including air conditioners.
• ents should not be placed below ventilated softs.
Run the vent above the roof.
• Avoid venting into alcove locations.
• ents should not terminate under overhangs, decks
or onto covered porches.
• aintain minimum clearance of 12 inches from
the vent termination to the exterior wall. If you see
deposits developing on the wall, you may need
to extend this distance to accommodate your
installation conditions.
Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no
responsibility for, nor does the warranty ex tend
to, smoke damage caused by reverse drafting of
pellet appliances under shut-down or power failure
conditions.
Do not connect this unit to any air distribution
duct or system.

C. V enting R eq uirements and
R estrictions
A combustion blower is used to extract the combustion
gases from the rebox. This causes a negative pressure
in the rebox and a positive pressure in the venting
system. The longer the vent pipe and more elbows used
in the system, the greater the ow resistance.

Any use of horizontal venting will require more frequent
cleaning. It is the responsibility of the installer to make
sure the entire flue configuration is accessible for
cleaning.
Stainless steel ex vent is only allowed for use in
masonry replaces and chimneys or in factory built
wood burning replace installations when used as a
liner for a class A metal chimney. All pellet vent pipe
must be secured together by means provided by pipe
manufacturer. The vent pipe must be secured to the

prevent flooding and damage.
D. Ex isting F ireplace Installation:
If using a short run of venting, whether ex or rigid,
through the damper and into the chimney ue The
amper must be removed or locked in the open
position and sealed with a plate constructed of steel or
other non-combustible material.
aowool, mineral wool or other non-combustible
insulation is recommended above the plate to reduce
the possibility of condensation. You will also need to
wrap the venting section between the insert frame and
the damper sealing plate. This is to prevent overheating
of the replace cavity, which may cause damage to the
inserts motors and other electrical components.
The connector pipe should extend through the sealing
plate and smoke chamber and into, or beyond the rst
ue tile.
Be sure to design the venting so that it can be easily
cleaned.
Check with your local authority having urisdiction to
determine if this venting method is acceptable. Some
Provincial, State, or Local codes may require a full
liner run to the top of the chimney. Be sure and check
your local regulations before planning the installation.
In this method, the proper ashing and rain cap are
also required.

7Appliance Set-Up
A. Outside Air Attachment
Outside Air it #1-00-77280 (sold separately) must
be used for attaching outside air to the insert. This kit
contains a  stub and gasket to mount to the frame,
and the outside air adapter which secures to the insert
body. The outside air intake connection will seal to the
mounting frame, ust like the exhaust does. ollow
the instructions included in the kit to ensure proper
installation.
1. ake a determination of where you want to draw
the outside air from. Here are a few options.
a. Punch a hole through the rear of the replace
and exterior wall. Rigid pipe or ex pipe could be
used.
b. Use the chimney or chase as a conduit for
outside air. The exhaust liner must be run the full
length of the ue. When creating your steel plate
to seal the damper area ake another  inch hole
for the outside air pipe. Install a short run of pipe
from the mounting frame through the sealing plate.
Then install the chimney top extension kit, item #1-
00-710 at the top of the chimney. This is slotted
to allow fresh air into the chimney or chase.
2. Secure the outside air supply pipe to the stub on the
mounting frame using a minimum of two fasteners.
. If running the supply pipe direct, install the outside
air cover weldment #1-10-052 to keep birds or
rodents from entering the supply pipe.
. eep the intake a minimum of  feet (1.2 m) below
the exhaust termination.
CAUTION!
Never draw outside combustion air from:
• Wall, oor or ceiling cavity.
• Enclosed space such as an attic or garage

C. R outing the Power Cord
When choosing an electrical supply outlet, be sure
the polarity is correct, and that the supplied voltage is
within the range of 117 to 12 olts. Surge protection
is also recommended to protect the control board
software in the event of a surge or spike.
Once the outlet location is decided, youll need to
install and route the power cord.
At the bottom of each of the side surround panels is a
knockout for the cord retainer. Remove the appropriate
knockout and feed the loose wire end of the cord into
the hole. If your cord needs to
exit from the right side, route
the cord up the side and over
the top of the mounting frame
and back down the left side.
Attach the ground wire ring
terminal to the bottom stud
on the left, and use the two
hooks on the top corners of
the mounting frame to secure
the cord. Slip the cord clamp
onto the cord right in front of
the opening in the side panel.
Using a pliers, compress the
cord clamp and push it into the hole.
B. Installing the Surround
The surround consists of three panels, the top and two
sides. ollow these steps for installation:
1. Remove the insert body from the mounting frame
2. Start your leveling bolts into the oor of the frame
and adust to slightly raise the height.(see next
section) This will allow some clearance toassemble
the surround.
. Prepare the side panels by removing three nuts
each. The left side panel is the one with the control
board opening. If mounting the control door, the
hinge bracket will attach using the control panel
mounting screws.

. Attach the side panels to the mounting frame by
guiding the threaded studs through the holes in
the mounting frame. Slip the power cord ground
wire terminal over the bottom stud on the left side.
Install the nuts onto the studs, nger tighten only.
5. Install the top panel, making sure to close the gap
with the side panels rst. Tighten the nuts on the
splice brackets securely.
. Set the mounting frame into position in the replace
opening. Be sure the surround panel is raised
slightly so that it is not supporting any of the weight
of the mounting frame.
7. When pleased with the alignment, tighten all of the
nuts securely.
8. There are two more holes in the splice brackets to
align the outer sides of the surround panel oints. If
desired, install the supplied black pop-rivets here.

ost importantly, the frame must be level. Again, be
certain that the surround is not supporting the weight.
Turn the leveling screws in until there is a slight gap
beneath the surround panels.
Here are a few different ways to anchor the mounting
frame.
On the sides of the frame,
there are a few holes which
can be used to attach
metal straps. These straps
can be anchored into the
replace using masonry
anchors. You could also
use any of the unused
holes in the bottom of the
frame to install anchors
and lag bolts. Another
option involves using kit #
1-00-7727. Here, you will mount plates to the frame.
These plates have coupling nuts welded to them. The
kit also includes two pieces of 12 all thread, which
threads into the coupling nuts. These can be used to
tighten upward against the lintel until the unit is secure.
E. Attaching the V enting
The ue collar on the rear of the mounting frame is
designed to pivot. Loosen the four mounting bolts and
adust the angle of the collar as needed. Shown above
is the vertical position and the horizontal position. Be
sure the ber gasket remains in place between the
collar and the mounting frame, and secure the bolts.
Secure the rst section of venting to the collar with
a minimum of two fasteners. Self-drilling screws will
work well for this. Once the venting is secured and the
seams are sealed, it is recommended that you wrap
the vent pipe with a non-combustible insulation to
prevent overheating of the motors and other appliance
components. This is required (and supplied) when
using the optional ero Clearance Cabinet.
The mounting frame is the anchor for the appliance.
If the frame is not secured properly, shifting will
occur when sliding the insert in or out.
D. Securing the Mounting F rame
The mounting frame is the anchor for the appliance.
If the frame is not secured properly, shifting will
occur when sliding the insert in or out.
The stove is supplied with a Leg Leveler it that
contains () 51-18  1. These bolts should be
threaded down through the holes to raise the frame
corners as needed, to level.
NOTE: When installed in a rear vent conguration, the maximum BTU
may be reduced due to elevated ESP temperatures associated with the
horizontal exhaust stream.
