I am new, so please excuse what may seem like an obvious question. I wanted to check the feeder body of my stove. I removed the right rear panel (as you are looking at the stove from the front) and removed the wing nut. From the diagram in the manual, it looked like it should be a rather uncrowded box where I could easily vacuum any fines. I couldn't even see the bottom of the feeder body, there's a metal bar there. I had to reach my finger over and feel around. I didn't want to move anything. Am I supposed to flip this up? Am I even at the right place?? It certainly wouldn't be easy to vacuum.
 
Here is a link to cleaning the Harman. I know it says a different model, but the P models are all pretty close in how they are laid out. (broken link removed to http://www.harmanstoves.com/maintenance/P38&P61CleaningGuide;.htm) They speak about the feeder body in there. Hope this helps.
You are in the right spot with the wing nut in the back.... I think thats the only one in the back.
 
It looks something like that, but upside down, and it's smaller, and crowded with other mechanical stuff! The stove is running now, but I'll take a picture when I shut it down later. It definitely isn't the same as the picture in the link....
