Where to find build date on Harman stoves.

Couple questions. First being where would one find the build date of their stove? I have a Harman P43 and didn't see any direct reference to it on the label? Is it part of the S/N? That would be the only thing I found close to it. It begins with a WHI-0808xxxx. I bought the stove new last month. It was the last one they had and the display model.

Also I was trying to find the changes they made to the P43 series over the years. I understand it is a fairly newer model based off the P38. What I have noticed is that my stove does have the newer burnpot without the holes in front of the auger and I also have the yellow vacuum switch in the hopper. Anything else I should be aware of?

Thanks
Mark

Thanks for the replies. I looked all over the stove and saw nothing having the holes punched in it showing the build date. Oh well. It's really not that important I was more concerned about the stove being up to date mechanically and electronic wise.

Thanks again.

When you open the box that the stove is shipped in, there will be a final check off list closed into the hopper lid. This tag should have the inspection date upon it as well as other things.

I didn't have the pleasure of unboxing my stove, done by the dealer but there was the list you are talking about in the hopper. Only half a sheet but there was a date on it of 7-28-09. Build date wasn't anywhere on it though.
