TLC 2000 Coal Stove

11

Like all fine equipment, your TLC 2000 requires 

some routine maintenance and inspection.  Follow the 

guidelines in this section to guarantee safe, efficient 

operation.

The Stove

Surface

The stove’s exterior surface should be dusted peri-

odically with a soft cloth.  For more thorough cleaning, 
wait until the stove is cool before using a damp cloth 
to clean any blemishes.

The Door

If you opted for the gold plated front door, it should 

never

 be buffed or polished.  Abrasive cleaners and 

metal polishes will remove the plating and therefore 
should never be used. If the door needs to be cleaned, 
wait  until  the  stove  is  completely  cool,  then  use  a 
sponge,  soap  and  water  to  gently  remove  dirt  and 
stains.  Before relighting the stove, remove all soap 
residue and wipe dry.

Controls

To avoid a rust build-up on the inner surfaces of 

the controls, work the controls back and forth several 
times,  during  the  summer,  or  any  prolonged  period 
when you are not using your stove.

The Fire Chamber

The inside of the fire chamber should be examined 

for damage to the firebrick lining  material,  and grates.  

If  any  bricks  have  been  damaged,  replace  them  with 
Harman replacement parts.

Glass - Replacement

If  the  stove’s  glass  is  cracked  or  broken,  you  must 

replace it before operating your stove.  Remove pieces 
carefully.    Replace  glass  only  with  Harman  supplied 
replacement glass panels; do not use substitutes.

To replace the glass panel, you will need to remove 

the door.  To do this, open the door,  lift it straight up and 
place it on a soft surface.

Carefully remove damaged glass, gasket material, and 

hold down clips (set aside). 

Referring to the diagram, note how the various com-

ponents of the door system fit together.  Lay the load 

door face down on the soft surface, and install the self 
adheasive  1/4"”  gasket  material  around  the  front  face 
of the glass. 

Set the glass pane and gasket gently onto the door.  

Install  the  hold  down  clips  and  tighten  with  bolts  as 
shown. Reinstall door on stove.
