Wanted to throw a question out to any Harman Insert owners. I recently bought and had installed a P35i insert. Just had my first "light up" 2 days ago. I'm the type of person that likes to "look under the hood" at how things work, so, I read the owner's manual front to back before the installer came to my house. I noticed that the installer did not install a "sealing plate" at the damper per Harman's installation instructions (for existing fireplace). I asked the installer about this, and he said it wasn't necessary. I was going to let it go at that, but, I elected to call the dealer about it. The dealer took a defensive posture saying: "We've been installing these for 10 years and have never had a problem". I was just trying to find out if it's "standard practice" to ignore the installation of a sealing plate. Maybe the sealing plate is unnecessary. But I'd like to hear from others about this.
Can anyone speak to this from their experience with inserts?
Thanks....
