Thank you for purchasing the Harman Oakwood. We are condent that you will enjoy the warmth and convenience
of your Harman Stove for decades to come.
The Harman Oakwood will heat your home while also being multi-functional and visually appealing. When building
your Oakwood, we used only the best precision castings that were designed, so accurately, that gaskets are used
(instead of furnace cement) for assembly.
Harman’s special FireDome, Non-Catalytic, Combustion System was created specically for the Oakwood to
promote clean burning and even heat output. What this equates to is unvarying heat throughout your home over
a longer period of time without the peaks and valleys of other wood stoves. The FireDome attains Harman’s
reputation of high efciency while saving you the expense associated with catalytic stoves. Top loading makes
adding wood easier and allows you to view your beautiful re through the extra large glass door. The glass stays
cleaner because of specially coated glass and the exclusive Harman Air Wash System.
The Harman Oakwood has an ash pan with its own ash door that is used to remove ashes while the stove is in
operation. This means you can keep one re all winter if you desire.
The Harman Oakwood offers a cooking grill that can be placed in the top of the stove while in operation. This
allows you to grill steaks and burgers etc. 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 through your Harman Dealer.
Due to the fact that the Oakwood is hot while in operation, gloves should be worn while tending to the re.
For your reference, please
copy the serial number from
the label on your stove to
the box below.

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.
Front 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 the bypass damper rst,
then lift the handle and pull out; to close the door, push
the door closed with the handle in the open position,
then push the handle down to engage the latch.
Ash Door
To open the ash door, lift up the handle and pull out.
Close the door by pushing in and pushing the handle
all the way down.
Top Load Door
To open the top load door, open the bypass damper
and then lift to open the top load door.
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 inadequately sealed,
could create a serious overring condition (discussed
later in this section).
The glass used in your Oakwood 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 the Maintenance section.)
The Harman Oakwood's unique grate system consists
of one at 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.
The grates and andirons must remain in place at all
times. Do not tamper with or change the conguration
of this grate system.
Before you install and operate your Oakwood
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 efciency and enjoyment from your
stove.
Your Oakwood burns wood very efciently. Here are
some guidelines that will help you achieve the best
performance.
Select only . Wood for burning
should never be 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. Fuel wood should be split and
stored under cover for “seasoning” - at least a year is
recommended. Your stove is not an incinerator - do
not burn garbage, painted or treated wood, plastic, 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.
IF THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT PROPERLY
INSTALLED, OPERATED AND MAINTAINED,
A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT. FOR YOUR
SAFETY, FOLLOW INSTALLATION
DIRECTIONS. CONTACT LOCAL BUILDING
OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT RESTRICTIONS
AND INSTALLATION INSPECTION
REQUIREMENTS IN YOUR AREA.
Combustion in the Harman Oakwood is precisely
controlled and is best explained in two parts.
During a wood re, combustion air enters at the
bottom front of the stove where it travels upward through
channels at either side of the front door. From the
manifold located above the front door, it is directed into
the rebox as a sheet of air owing between the glass
and the wood. This concept helps to keep the glass
clean, while providing the oxygen needed to sustain
burning. This is what is known as "Primary Combustion".
Additional air enters at the bottom rear of the stove
body. Some of this air enters through holes in the
rear bricks where it is used to revitalize the re at the
rear of the rebox. The remainder is delivered into the
"Firedome" combustion package where the "Secondary
Combustion", or re-burning of the smoke, occurs.
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. A second stage is where 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 in the
wood fuel. Ash remains after the burning is complete.
Within the primary rebox two or more of these stages
of combustion are occurring at once.
Two important controls - the damper bypass handle
and the air control lever regulate the operation and
output of the stove.
To open the top or front loading door, you must open
the damper bypass, or smoke will come in 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.
Open the bypass damper by
turning the handle clockwise while facing handle.

The air control lever is located directly below the ash
lip of the stove. Sliding this lever allows you to vary
the amount of air to the re, creating a range of heat
outputs. The lowest heat output setting is to the left,
and the highest is to the right. The notches are provided
as a reference for your comfortable heat settings. Do
not, under any circumstances, alter the conguration or
operation of the air control lever.
For low burn, slide the air control to the left. For
medium burns, use notches 4,5 & 6. Maximum heat is
attained with the air control all the way to the right. Do
not burn the stove continuously at the maximum setting.
If maximum heat is required day after day, the stove is
too small for the area you are trying to heat.
If your wood is not seasoned long enough or is high
in moisture content, you may need to adjust the primary
air 1 or 2 notches higher to sustain a low burn rate with
the cleanest possible exhaust.
Do not use chemicals or uids
to start the re.
Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel,
kerosene, charcoal lighter uid, or similar liquids
to start or “freshen up” a re in this heater. Keep
all such liquids well away from the heater while it
is in use.
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 nger 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 airow. 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. You must have this charcoal
bed established before you close the bypass damper.
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
efcient 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 signicant coal bed is formed.
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.

CAUTION
The stove is hot while in operation. Keep children,
clothing and furniture away. Contact may cause
skin burns.
Never leave the stove unattended if either the ash or
load door is open. Overring may result.
Risk of Excessive Temperatures. Keep Ash Door
Closed During Firing of the Heater.
Avoid overfiring your stove. Overfiring is a
potentially hazardous situation which can lead to
overheating of combustible materials nearby, damage to
the stove, and in extreme cases, cause a re. Overring
is caused by: 1. Too much air owing through the stove
too quickly. 2. You may have positioned the primary air
control lever too far to the right. 3. Inadvertently leaving
the damper open or 4. Not keeping up with routine
maintenance, such as checking door gaskets for wear.
Overring results in excessive fuel consumption,
and may cause parts of the stove or chimney connector
to glow red. If you notice signs of overring, reduce
the air supply to the re, and review the Maintenance
section in this manual.
In the event of a chimney re, call your local re
department; make sure everyone is safely out of the
house. Reduce the air intake of the stove as much as
possible using the air control lever; close the bypass
damper to further restrict air ow. Do not throw water
on the re; this can cause stove damage and create an
even more dangerous situation. Have your chimney
professionally cleaned and inspected before resuming
burning in your stove.
As you begin to operate your stove at higher
temperatures, you will notice a “hot” or unpleasant
smell; this is just the paint going through the curing
process, and will disappear after a few res.
Overring
Reloading: 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.
Removing Ashes: 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 Oakwood was designed to provide 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.
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a
tight tting lid. The closed container of ashes should
be placed on a noncombustible oor or on the ground,
well away from all combustible materials, pending nal
disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil
or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained
in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly
cooled.
Never use the ash disposal container for other trash.
Wood ash can be added to your garden or compost.
