C. Loss of Power
Minimizing Smoke During Loss of Power Using Battery
Back-up
Harman® strongly recommends installing battery back-
up to minimize entry of smoke into the room in the
event of power loss.
Your pellet/biomass burning appliance relies on a
combustionblowertoremoveexhaust.Apowerfailurewill
cause the combustion blower to stop. This may lead to
exhaustseepingintotheroom.Verticalriseintheventing
may provide natural draft. It is, however, no guarantee
against leakage.
There are two Harman® approved battery back-up
options for your appliance:
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) battery back-ups
are available online or at computer and ofce equipment
stores. Your Harman® appliance may be plugged directly
into a Harman® approved UPS:
• The APC (American Power Conversion) model
#BE750G and the TrippLite model INTERNET750U are
testedandapproved.Otherbrandsormodelsmaynot
be compatible.
When power is lost, a fully charged UPS will power a safe,
combustion blower only shut-down. Your appliance will
pulsetheblowereveryfewsecondstoclearexhaustuntil
thereisout. NOTE: The UPS provides safe shut-down
only. It is not intended for continued operation.
• TheSurere512connectstoa12voltdeepcyclebattery
thatwill runyourappliance forupto eight(8)hours. It
includes a trickle charge feature that keeps your battery
chargedwhenpowerisavailable.NOTE:Ifthepoweris
out for longer than battery life, smoke leakage may still
occur unless your stove has been safely shut down.
Your appliance will recognize when power is restored. What
happens depends on ESP temperature and whether it is
equipped with automatic ignition:
• In “Automatic” Mode, units will respond to the set point
and ESP temperature and resume normal operation.
• In “Idle” Mode, or for units without automatic ignition:
• If the ESP is cool, the appliance will remain shut
down.
• IfthereisoutandtheESPisstillwarm,thefeeder
mayrestart.Sincethereisout,theESPtemperature

• If the re is still burning, it will resume normal
operation.
Contact your dealer if you have questions about UPS
compatibility with your appliance.
Use only Harman
®
approved battery back-up devices.
Other products may not operate properly, can create
unsafe conditions or damage your appliance.
CAUTION
Always keep appliance doors and hopper lid closed
and latched during operation and during power
failures to minimize risk of smoke or burn-back.
D. Emergency Manual Ignition
Harman
®
pellet stoves and inserts should be lit using the
automatic ignition system. This is the safest and most
reliable way for igniting the unit. In the event the automatic
igniter is not functioning, the steps below may be followed
to manually light the stove or insert in the “Constant Burn”
mode. Manual lighting is for emergency purposes only,
and the igniter should be repaired or replaced as soon as
practical.
WARNING
Only use restarter commercially marketed for pellet
stoves and inserts, including wax coated wood chips,
pellet starter gel and pellet igniter blocks. Use of any
othertypeofrestarterisprohibited.
To avoid serious injury or death read and follow
manufacturer’swarningandinstructionsforuseofrestarter.

start.
Never attempt to manually light a stove or insert that has
been operated recently and is not at room temperature.
If automatic ignition was attempted, be sure to give the
stove or insert at least 30 minutes or longer to cool to room
temperature.
