Maintenance

A qualified service person recommended by your

Harman dealer should conduct an annual inspec-
tion and maintenance of your Clarity, its venting,
and the installation to keep it running safely and
efficiently. These procedures should be performed
only by a qualified service person. The gas supply
should be turned off whenever a maintenance
procedure is performed.

Any access panels that are removed for servicing

must be replaced prior to operating the Clarity
828I Vented Gas Fireplace Insert.

REMOVING THE GLASS DOOR
AND TRIM PANELS

To gain access to the latches that secure the door,

frist remove the two side trim panels. Each is held

in place by a magnet at the bottom and a magnet
at the top.

Remove the left side trim panel first by pulling

the top slightly away from the unit, and then
lifitng.

The right side trim panel is removed in the same

fashion as the left, but is tethered to the Insert by
the wiring that serves the On-Off switch at the top
and the blower speed control switch on the bot-
tom.

Disengage the right side panel, then pull gently

on it to create enough space so that you can reach
the latch that holds the door. If more space is
needed to gain access to the latches, reach inside
and disconnect the wiring (Two Amp Mate-N-Lok
connectors). The trim panel will then come away
from the unit.

REPLACING THE GASKET

The Clarity has 5/8" diameter fiberglass gasket

around the glass door. Should it ever need replace-
ment, use only the proper replacement gasket that
is available from your Harman dealer. To replace
the gasket, follow this procedure.

1. Remove the front according to directions

above.

2. Remove the existing gasket and clean its

channel with a scraper or wire brush.

3. Lay a thin bead of high temperature silicone

the entire length of the channel.

4. Place the gasket in the channel with sufficient

pressure that it stays in place.

5. Trim the excess from the end of the gasket so

that it butts snugly against the other end without
leaving a gap. Seal the end joint with high tem-
perature silicone.

6. Close the door and apply firm pressure to seat

the gasket evenly throughout.

INSPECTING THE VENTING

An inspection of the venting system should be

made during the annual service appointment to
