Exception F200 Wood Insert
Operation
The door must be closed while the insert is in nor-
maloperation, and the gasketsroutinely examined for wear
and replaced when necessary. Good door seals are
importantfor maintaining control of the insert. Operating
the insert with the door inadequately sealed, could create
a serious over firing condition (discussed later in this sec-
tion).

General Considerations
Draft
Before you install and operate your Exception
wood insert, please read the entire contents of this manual.
Pay particular attention to the explanation of draft and its
effect
on
insert
performance
The glass used in your Exception is manufactured
to exact standards to withstand the high heat of the fire,
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 insert untilit has
been replaced (See instructions in the Maintenance sec-
tion.)
the Installation section. By following the installation and
operating guidelines, you will ensure proper draftand gain
maximum efficiency and enjoyment from your insert.
Fuel
Your Exceptionburnswood very efficiently. Here
aresome guidelinesconcerning log size and moisture con-
tent that will help you obtain the best performance.
Select hardwoods if possible, as they are heavier
and contain more heating capacity (BTU’s) per load than
do softwoods. Wood should be split and stored under
cover for “seasoning” - a year is recommended. Your
insertis not an incinerator- do not burn garbage, painted
or treated wood, plastic, or other debris.
Keep the area around the insert free from clut-
ter. Keep allcombustibles, includingfuel, 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 insert where it could interfere with door operation,
safe loading, and ash removal.
Operating AsA Fireplace
To operate as a fireplace, open the damperand keep
itopen. Next, open thedoor and place the optional screen
(part number3-40-727336) over the dooropening. Check
for smoke spillage into the room. If smoke is escaping
into the room, remove the screen and close the door. Al-
ways wear gloves when placing or removing the screen.
Never leave the unit unattended with the door open.
Andirons
The andirons keep the fuel from coming in direct
contact with the glass, and keep hot coals and embers
from spilling out while reloading. Never build a fire di-
rectly against the glass.
Do not use a grate or elevate the fire. Build wood
fire directly on insert hearth.
Do not burn garbage or flammable fluids
such as gasoline, naptha, or engine oil.
The Insert
Doors
Your insert has a large glass-paneled door for
loading and fireviewing. To open the glassdoor, turn
the handles clockwise and pull out; to closethe door,
return the handles to an open 9 o'clock closed 6 o'clock,
and push in to engage the latch while turning the
handles counterclockwise.
If the latch on your Exception door needs adjust-
ment, follow the instructions given in the Maintenance
section ofthis manual.

The Combustion Process
Combustion in your Harman Exception wood
insert is controlled very precisely. During a wood fire,
primary combustion air enters the bottom of the insert,
is directed up to the top of the load door and then down
past the glass, finally entering the combustion chamber.
Secondary combustion air enters the bottom of the in-
sert and is delivered directly to the afterburner behind
thefirebox, where it providesthe additional oxygen re-

burning.
During combustion, burning proceeds through
severalstages - an initialevaporation stage, where mois-
ture is released from the wood; a stage where volatile
gases containing much of the wood’s heating capacity
are released and burned; and a charcoal stage, where
the remaining charcoal burns to release the additional
heat available. What is left after this final stage is ash.
Within the firebox, two or more of these stages are gen-
erally occurring at once.

Exception F200 Wood Insert
Controls
Two important controls- the damper handleand the
air control lever regulate the operation and output of the
insert.
Move the handle to the forward position (ap-
proximately 3") and the handle automatically opens the
bypass damper. In this mode of operation the combus-
tion gases go directly fromthe main combustion chamber
to the flue collar and exit into the chimney.

Reduce the air intake of the insert as much as possible
using the air control lever; close the bypass damper to
further restrict air flow. Do not throw water on the fire;
this can cause insert damage and create an even more
dangerous situation. Have your chimney professionally
cleaned and inspected before resuming burning in your
insert.

Removing and Disposing of Ashes.
Before opening the door to remove the ashes, open
the bypass damper. Wearing heavy protective gloves,
remove ashes from the fire chamber periodically with a
smallshovel. Close the door beforetaking the ashes out-
side for safe disposal.
A good time to empty the ashes is before loading.
This ensuresthat the ashes willbe cold and saferto handle
than directly after poking the ashes down or tending the
fire.
Note: Atminimum burn rates the glass may get dirty
but will clean off again at higher burn rates.
AfterBurner Viewport.
This is a small ceramic glass window in the back
of the firebox. This window allows you to see the After-
burner Combustion System in action. This glass may
smoke up under someconditions butwill burn off again.
It is OK if this glass is not totally clean.
Never let the ashes build up to over 2" in depth.
Excessiveash buildup can prevent proper venting of ex-
haust gases.
Operating asa Fireplace.
The F200 is tested and approved to be burned with
the front load door open and the damper open. In this
mode of operation you get a true fire sound as well as
appearance. Due to the crackling and popping of burning
wood it is necessary to place the optional screen over the
dooropening. Thisprevents sparksfrom entering the room
just like a screen over a fireplace.
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a
tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be
placed on a noncombustiblefloor or on the ground, well
away from all combustible materials, pending final dis-
posal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or
otherwiselocally dispersed, they should be retained in the
closed containeruntil allcinders have thoroughly cooled.
Never use theash disposal container for other trash.
Wood ash can be added to your garden or compost.
The insert is hot while in operation. Keep
children, clothing and furniture away.
Contactmay cause skin burns.
Curing Paint.
Overfiring
As you begin to operate your insert at higher
temperatures, you will notice a “hot” or unpleasant
smell; this is just the paint going through the cur-
ing process, and will disappear after a few fires.
Avoid overfiring yourinsert, apotentially hazard-
ous situation which can lead to overheating of combus-
tible materials, damage to the insert, and in extreme cases,

The inside of the fire chamber should be exam-
ined for damage to the refractory lining material, After-
burner hood and Afterburner glass. If any of these parts
have been damaged, replace them with Harman Stove
Company replacement parts.
some routine maintenance and inspection. Follow the
guidelines in this section to guarantee safe, efficient
operation.
The Insert
Glass - Replacement
Surface
If theinsert’s glass is cracked or broken, you must
replace it before operating your insert. Remove pieces
carefully. Replace glass only with Harman Insert Com-
pany replacement glass panels; do not use substitutes.
To replace the glass panel(s), you will need to
remove thedoor. To do this, open the door, liftit straight
up and place it on a soft surface.
The insert’s exterior surface should be dusted
periodically with a soft cloth. For more thorough clean-
ing, wait until theinsert is cool beforeusing a damp cloth
to clean any blemishes.
The Door
The gold plated front door shouldnever be buffed
or polished. Abrasive cleaners and metal polishes will
remove the plating and therefore should never beused. If
the door needs to be cleaned, wait until the insert is com-
pletely cool, then use a sponge, soap and water to gently
remove dirt and stains. Before relighting the insert, re-
move all soap residue and wipe dry.
Carefully remove damaged glass, gasket material,
and hold down clips (set aside).
Referring to thediagram, notehow the various com-
ponents of the door system fit together. Lay the load
door face down on the soft surface, and install the self
adhesive 1/4"” gasket material around the front face of
the glass. Note: This glass has a special IR coating on
one side. This coating must be to the outside of the in-
sert. The coated side has a label on it. Do not remove the
label before installing the glass. Remove label before
burning the unit.
Controls
To avoid a rust buildup on the inner surfaces of
the controls, work the controls back and forth several
times, during thesummer, or any prolonged period when
you are not using your insert.
Set the glass pane and gasket gently onto the door.
Installthe hold down clipsand tighten with boltsas shown.

this ash to remain on the glass
for long periods can result in

Never clean the glass
while it is hot, and do not use
abrasive substances. Wash the
surface with cool water, and
rinse thoroughly. You may wish
to usea nonabrasivecleaner spe-

Gaskets
Gaskets are used at strategic positions when build-
moved to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
To clean deposits from the surface of the con-
nector, use a stiff wire brush after dismantling the con-
nector assembly. To clean the chimney, use a specially
designed brush sized to fit your particular flueopening, or
call an established chimney cleaning service.
At the end of the heating season, perform a thor-
ough examination of your chimney system, and have it
repaired if necessary.
Do not burn any fuel other than wood, such as char-
coal, which can cause increased carbon monoxide pro-
duction or overfiring. Neveruse highly volatile substances
in your insert, such as gasoline, which could cause an
explosion.
When solid fuels are burned completely, they pro-
duce 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 ventila-
tion and draft will prevent this from happening. If you
smellsmoke, turn up theair controllever setting, and thor-
oughly ventilate your dwelling. During futureburns, be
careful not to overload the insert with fuel, so you will not
be tempted to constantly operate at a low air control set-
ting.
Other causes of poor ventilation or draft are icing,
exhaust fans, a blocked outside air inlet, and room air
starvation. If your insert is sluggish and you get occa-
sional odor, check these possibilities and increase the air
flow in your home.
ing the Harman Exception for controlling the path that
incoming and outgoing air and gases take through the in-
sert. You must check these gaskets from time to time,
and replace them when necessary. The gaskets are made
of fiberglass of different sizes (obtainable from Harman
Stove Company) and are fixed in place with a high tem-
perature gasket cement. To change a gasket, first re-
move the worn fiberglass and clean the area with a wire
brush. Also clean any other surfaces that come into con-
tact with the gasket. Place a small bead of cement in the
area under the gasket, then press new gasket material
into the channel; do not overlap the ends. Seat the gasket
firmly by applying pressurewhen possible;for example,
after changing the door gasket, close thedoor. Allow the
cement to dry before using your insert.
Gaskets are located on the door to provide airtight
closure and between the damper and the damper
frame.
Handle
The handleon the front door of yourException is
attached to threaded shafts. After a period of time, you
may find that the front door does not close as firmly as
when your insert was new. This is due to a natural com-
pression of the gaskets. To tighten the seal, open the
door and rotate the handleone full turn counterclockwise
or bend the latch plate on the insert.
The Chimney System
ProperVentilation
Creosote FormationAnd NeedFor Removal
When wood is burned slowly, it producestar and
other organicvapors, as well as soot, which combine with
expelled moisture to form creosote . The creosote va-
pors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue (associ-
ated with a slow burning fire). As a result, creosote ac-
cumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote
can result in an extremely hot fire.
Always provide a source of fresh air to the room
when the insert is operating.
Blower
The blower on your Harman Exception insert
requires very little maintenance. You should, however,
keep the air inlet and the motor free of dust.
The afterburner on the Exception cuts creosote to
almost nothing when properly burned with dry seasoned
wood.
The chimney should be inspected at least once
every two months during the heating season to seeif any
creosote buildup has occurred. Checking your chimney
and chimney connector more frequently, especially while
you are getting used to your insert, is recommended. To
inspect this system, let the insert cool. Using a flashlight
and mirror, check the interior of the chimney connector,
and the chimney itself. If a significant layer of creosote
or soot as accumulated (1/8"” or 3 mm) it should be re-

For direct connect and positive connect
installations, ensure that the liner is
securely connected to the insert flue collar.
Masonry DirectConnect Installation
This method is most commonly used because it is
less expensive than the other methods. A steel block-off
plate is used to seal off the chimney and allow the chim-
ney connector to pass through and extend into the begin-
ning of the tile flue liner. If the steel plate is impractical
because of some odd fireplace construction, fiberglass
insulation may be packed around the chimney connector.
To sealthe fluefrom theliving spaceof the home, if
this is the method used, a chimney cap is recommended
to prevent the fiberglass from being exposed to the rain.
If the masonry chimney flue cross-sectional area is
greater than 3 times that of the insert which is 28.27 sq.
in. it is recommended that a positive connect installation
be used.

Appendix A
Determining Thickness Requirements ofAlternate Hearth Extension Materials.
Ifamanufacturer’s specificationscallforamaterialhavingaminimum thicknessofoneinch witha certain
kvalue, any material substituted for that specified materialmust have the same thickness and have thesame or
lower kvalue, orifthe kvalue oftheselected alternate materialishigher, agreaterthickness ofthat materialmust
beused. In somecases, ifthe kvalue islower, thinnermaterials maybe used.
The followingformulagivesthe meansofdeterminingthickness ofalternate materials:
k of the alternate material x thickness of
k of the specified material specified material
= thickness of
alternate material
Example 1: Themanufacturerspecifieda certainmaterialaminimum ofoneinchthickthatis appropriate
foruse as a hearth extension with theirfireplace system. The k valuefor that materialis .84. You decide to use
commonbrick forhearth extensionprotection insteadof thatspecified material. Howthick mustthe common
brickhearth extension be to be equivalentwith thatwhich themanufacturerspecifies? (Common brickhas a K
valueof 5.)
Usingthegiven formulato determinethe equivalentthickness ofcommon brickforthehearth extension,
you willdivide5 by.84, which gives athickness of5.95inchesofcommonbrick. This means that it would take
about sixinches ofbrick toprovide the same thermalprotection as one inchofthespecified material.
NOTE: Most of the hearth extension protection materialsspecified bymanufacturer’s instructions
are muchbetter insulators than common masonry materials. In this case, brick thickness must beabout 6
timesgreater thanthe manufacturer’s recommended material.
