The 2 year old stuff some toys in through the front of my Harman XXV. Is there a simple way from the backside to remove these or Do i take the whole stove apart?
 
I have no idea where you're talking about. There are no "baffles" listed in the manual...Go to the pages near the back of your manual (35 - 40) & ID the part # where the toys were stuffed in. Maybe one of us can remedy your problem...
 
I'm guessin its where the heat blows out....hmm....no simple way to get back there, but the lesser difficult thing to do, which may work, is to remove the distribution blower and see if you can't fish whatever it is out that way. or find some type of hook or claw type thing to get in there. what kinda toy?
 
Long curved nose forceps. You can get em that are a foot in length. Probably need them in the future with a young un around. Sometimes found at tackle stores.
 
Thanks, not sure what kind of toy. There was a bead necklace and some Yugi-Oh trading cards still sitting up top that hadn't fallen all the way in yet. I thought I heard noises when the distribution fan kicked on so I am only assuming there is toys all the way down in. I ran the stove for a day or two with no smoke coming through the vents so I will probably wait until it becomes an issue to take apart. thanks

The distribution blower is pretty easy to get at then ?
 
Um, I don't think I'd wait til there was a melted mess and a smoked dist fan motor. Just sayin.

X2, ounce of prevention is worth a home full of smoke!:(

distribution blower comes out the bottom, then you can have access to the air passage from the rear.
