If you remove the screws the igniter and shield come down together. You pull the igniter cleat of the shield, clean, reassemble and replace.
Interesting. My Harman runs full bore on restart for one minute no matter the feed setting. If the auger was loaded this fills the burn pot about 2/3s. It then sits and cooks for two minutes during which I get ignition and flame. Not sure why mine seems the exception except that maybe I've replaced the original 13 fin igniter with the new 15 fin model.
Yep. Three minutes. My burn pot fiills in about a minute. I explained the sequence timing in another post right above.
hmm..
As I understand it the initial fire fill is a one minute continuous feed followed by a two minute ignition followed by metered feeding based on ESP etc. If no heat is detected you get another thirty-second feed.One thing. If you start with an empty auger you won't fill the pot first time out and thus yout won't be over the igniter.
Thanks. I was beginning to wonder if anyone actually reads the thread in its entirety or just the last post before responding . . . . .
Well, I was replying to your post to give it a few tweaks. The ignition cycle has a default timing setting. Depending on the stove model, dip switches 1, 2, & 3 are set differently to either add +21, +43, or +64 seconds to the default or subtract -21, -43, -64 seconds from the default. So some stoves will, in fact, light faster. There was some inaccurate info earlier in the thread and so many of us like to be sponges and soak it all up, so I thought I would jump in and try to clarify.
Interesting. While I knew it was a timed cycle I wasn't aware that Harman had tweaked it although I assumed that models with larger firepots would need a different initial feed time. In any case good information. Can't say why mine fires so quickly relative to others but not about to worry about it. Now that I have it dialed in I really pretty much ignore it. Haven't actually cleaned it in going on five weeks. Performance is great.
I was going to post all the stoves and their respective start cycles but because that changes with newer stoves and board revisions, it would just muddy the water....
Hmmmm. Maybe instead of "Minister" we oughtta elevate you to "Reverend"?
OK so if you have the original board, your dip switches "should" be OFF, ON, ON. -64 seconds from default.
"as usual" was not correct..
Careful now....baby steps my friend....baby steps...."as usual" was not correct..
should have been " from now on"...
gotta believe you have learned something in 19 yrs
btw: been 3.5 feed rate this year. lot cleaner glass & burn..
just might grow some & inch it up to 4 before spring.. Maybe.
