Maintenance
Removing the Glass Door
Remove door by pulling latches out as shown and pulling
the bottom of the door out from the unit about 3 inches.
Then lift the door slightly up and off the hooks.
Replacing the Glass and Gasket
The ShadowLight XL uses part no. 3-44-00539
fiberglass gasket in the front door. Should it ever need
replacement, use only the proper replacement gasket
that is available from your Harman dealer. To replace
the gasket, follow this procedure.
1. Lay glass front face down.
2. Bend the four tabs up far enough to remove the
glass.
3. Remove glass from frame. Discard gasket.
4. Install new gasket around glass (thick side toward
stove).
5. Place glass in frame.
6. Bend tabs to secure glass. Not too tight.
7. Reinstall glass door by placing the door on the hooks
at the top of the opening as shown. swing the bottom of
the door in to the unit. Close the two latches to secure
the door.
Cleaning the Glass
The glass may be cleaned with ordinary household glass
cleaner and a soft cloth or paper towel.
WARNING: Never clean the glass when it is hot. Do not
use abrasive cleaners on the glass.
Inspecting the Venting
An inspection of both pipes of the venting system
should be made during the annual service appointment.
They must have no blockage and be in good condition.
The vent manufacturer’s instructions may provide
specific suggestions or details on vent inspection. Any
sections that are taken apart for the inspection must be
reassembled and sealed as required.
Cleaning the Log Set and Firebox
During the annual inspection and maintenance
appointment, the service person should clean dust, lint,
and any light accumulation from the logs and the firebox
area. An extra-soft brush should be used on the logs as
they are extremely fragile; a vacuum cleaner may be
used on the firebox. If at any time the logs cannot be
removed or installed without forcing, the cause must be
found. The logs must never be forced.
A qualified service technician recommended by your
Harman dealer should conduct an annual inspection
and maintenance of your fireplace, its venting, and
the installation to keep it running safely and efficiently.
The following procedures should be performed only
by a qualified service person. The gas supply should
be turned off whenever a maintenance procedure is
performed.
If the glass front, or front access door are removed for
servicing, they must be replaced prior to operating the
fireplace.
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THIS
APPLIANCE WITH THE GLASS FRONT
REMOVED, CRACKED OR BROKEN.
REPLACEMENT OF GLASS SHOULD BE
DONE BY A LICENSED OR QUALIFIED
SERVICE PERSON. NEVER USE SUBSTITUTE
MATERIALS.
DO NOT STRIKE OR SLAM GLASS.
