2 Special Warnings and Notes
NOTICE
Due to ash buildup, it is strongly recommended to
have your stove professionally cleaned and serviced
annually. This includes all parts of the stove, and the
venting system.
Installation and repair of this stove should be done
by a qualied service person. We recommend that the
stove be inspected before use and at least annually
by a qualied service person. Periodic cleaning is
required throughout the heating season and at the
end of each winter for the stove to work efciently.
Carbonmonoxide,referredtoasCO,isacolorless,odorless
gasthatisproducedduringcombustionofwoodandother
fuels.CO fumes are toxic and can be fatal.
The Oakwood is a natural draft system which relies on
a properly designed chimney to remove CO and other
combustionby-productsfromthestove.
Eventhoughthisstoveisdesignedtobeassafeaspossible,
itisimportantthatyouinstall a CO detector.Thisistruefor
oil,gas,orcoal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carorlawnmowerexhaust.
If the alarm sounds
1.Increaseventilationbyopeningwindowsordoors.
2.Makesurethestovedoorsandlidareclosedandlatched.
3.Checkstoveforsmokingorpufngcondition.Openby-
passandincreaseair-owtorebox,ifneeded.
4.Checkchimneyforpossibleblockageordown-draft.
5.Checkforfalsealarm.

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achimneyand
chimneyconnector.Itisagoodideatoplanyourinstallation
on paper, using exact measurements for clearances and
oor protection, before actually beginning the installation.
When installing on a combustible oor, the bottom heat
shield must be installed along with using proper oor
protectionmaterial.SeeSection4Cfordetails.
Maintain specied vent clearance to combustible
requirementslistedbytheventmanufacturersinstructions
andallclearancetocombustibleslistedinthismanual.
Checkwithyourlocalbuildingcodeagencybeforeyoubegin
yourinstallation.BesurelocalcodesdonotsupersedeUL
specications and always obtain the required permit 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.
Be sure to provide a source of fresh air to the room or
directlytotheappliance.Make-upairisneededtoreplace
whatthechimneydrawsawaythroughtheappliance.
B. Fire Safety
Maintain 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 jurisdiction.
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.Detectorsshouldbelocatedawayfromtheheating
applianceandclosetosleepingareas.Follow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.
3. A practiced evacuation plan, consisting of at least two
escaperoutes.
4. Aplantodealwithachimneyreasfollows:
 Intheeventofachimneyre:
a. Evacuatethehouseimmediately.
b. NotifyFireDepartment.

C. Floor Protection Requirements
Floor Protection Requirements
TheOakwoodmustbeinstalledonanon-combustiblesurface
oraprotectivenon-combustibleoor.Itisrecommendedthat
theheatshieldprovidedbeinstalled.Usingtheprovidedheat
shieldwillallowforinstallationofoorprotectionwithouta
"R"or"K"value.Ifyoudonotusethebottomheatshieldoor
mustbeatleast3/4"(19mm)thicknessofinsulatingmaterial
havingavalueequaltoorgreaterthan0.84k/in.(Morethe
valueofk,thebettertheprotection.)
AnothermethodforcalculatingoorprotectionisinRvalue.
ThisrequirementwouldbeforanRvalueof0.89orhigher.
(ThehighertheRvalue,thebettertheprotection).
Inallinstallations,theareaunderandaroundthestovemust
beprotectedfromfallingashandlivecoals.The area under a
horizontal run of chimney connector must also be protected,
extending two (2) inches beyond the measurement of the
horizontal connector.
Furtherguidelinesforoorprotectionareasfollows:
IntheU.S.theoorprotectormustbecompletelyunderthe
stove,andextending18"infrontofthedooropening,8"to
eachsideand8"totheback.
InCanada, the oorprotectionmust extend18"(457mm)
infrontofthedooropening,8"(203mm)toeachsideand
extendtothewallbehindthestove.
MinimumSizeoorprotection(USA)is49-3/8"Deepby34-
9/16"Wide.
Floorprotectiontouchingthewall:67"Deepx32-1/2"Wide.
DANGER: The appliance legs may not be removed for
installation.
Parallel versus Corner Installations
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:(seenextpagesformoredetails,including
theuseofdoublewalledpipeandoptionalheatshields)
1.tothesidewall,26"(661mm);

5 Chimneys and Venting
A. Draft
Draftiswidelymisunderstood.Itisimportantthatyou,the
stoveoperator,realizethatdraftisavariableeffect,nota
givenquantity.Stovesandchimneysdonothave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
airtightness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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
Oakwoodwillproduceenoughhotgasestokeepthechimney
warmsothatadequatedraftismaintainedthroughoutthe
burncycle.
B. Chimney Connectors
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 to
checkonadditional local regulationswhichmayinuence
thedesignandplacementofyourventingsystem.
The Harman Oakwood may be installed with a minimum
(.6mm)24gaugechimneyconnectorpipe.Thesizeofthe
connectorshould correspondtothe sizeofthe ue collar
opening.Donotusemakeshiftcompromises.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.
The Chimney Connector Shall Not Pass Through an Attic or Roof
Space, Closet or Similar Concealed Space, a Floor or Ceiling.
Assembletheconnectorbeginningattheuecollar,withthe
crimpedendspointingtowardsthestove(tokeepdebrisor
residue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"(30mm)overlapis
requiredateachjoint,includingtheuecollarattachment.
Nomorethantwo90°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"(6mm)perfoot(20mmpermeter).
The chimney connector diameter should correspond to
the size of the ue collar opening. Do not use makeshift
compromises.Nopartofthechimneyconnectormaypass
through an attic or roof cemented in place with refractory
cement.
C. Wall Pass-throughs
Dependingonyourlocalbuildingcodes,andthepertinent
provincialornationalcodes,thereareseveralchoicesfor
passingthechimneyconnectorsafelythroughawall.Before
beginningyourinstallation,contactlocalofcials,andalso
thechimneyconnectorandchimneymanufacturerforspecic
requirements.
Canada. Three methods are approved by the Canadian
StandardsAssociation.Thediagramonthenextpageshows
onemethodrequiringan18"(450mm)airspacebetweenthe
connectorandthewall.Itallowsuseofoneortwocovers
as described in the diagram.The two other methods are
describedindetailinthecurrentissueofCAN/CSAB365,
thenationalstandard.
United States 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Agency) 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"(300mm)aroundtheentire
chimneyconnector,andllitwithbrickmasonrywhichisat
least3.5"(90mm)thick.Areclayliner,minimum3/8"(9mm)
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onthenextpage.Fordetailsontheotherthree
options,refertothemostrecenteditionoftheNFPA211code.

Existing Masonry Chimneys
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.
Venting to a Masonry Chimney
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"(50mm)intotheroom,sothe
connectorcanbeattachedwithsheetmetalscrews.
Venting to a Masonry Fireplace Chimney
In some situations, a code compliant chimney originally
usedforamasonryreplacemaybeused.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Clearances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 (removable for inspection); this also
satisestherequirementthatnoroomairmustbeallowed
toenterthechimney.
Installing to a Prefabricated Chimney
When venting 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 parts; do not use makeshift installation
techniques.All prefabricated chimneys must be tested to
eithertheU.S.orCanadianhigh-temperaturestandards,UL
103orULCS629.
Other Considerations
Donotburnanyfuelotherthandrycordwood.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,thoroughly
ventilateyourdwelling,andcontactyourdealerforservice.
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.
