1. Allow the stove to run out of coal in order to
extinguish the re. This saves having to remove
the coal from the hopper manually and most
importantly, drives the moisture out of the stove
that may be present in the coal.
2. Perform all the steps of the 3 month maintenance
list.
3. Clean the glass as shown in g.21.
4. Empty the nes tray and inspect the area for
rust and corrosion
5. Make sure the hopper is empty. Wet or damp
coal in the hopper will promote rust.
6. Remove the FSS Tube from the rear of the
rebox (g.27) and clean the brass tting going
into the rebox with a pipe cleaner. Reconnect
tube.
7. The FSS line lter can be changed annually
to insure proper ow, however, it may only be
necessary if the lter is discolored.
8. Remember to cover the flue pipe over the
summer to block out rodents and birds. Place a
note inside the unit to remind yourself or others
not to forget to uncover the ue pipe before
lighting a re.

Summertime moisture and high humidity are your
stove's enemy. A clean stove will have less y ash
and nes to absorb moisture and cause rust and
corrosion. Allowing wet coal to remain in the hopper
of a cold stove will promote the formation of rust
and corrosion. Some owners choose to spray a
light coating of oil on all internal workings and the
rebox as a rust inhibitor.

It is recommended that your DVC500 is serviced
annually by your trained Harman dealer. The best
time for this service is during a non-use period. You
may choose to combine this service with the end of
season maintenance.
