I've heard about a fireplace mode setting for harman stoves, I'd love to have the stove running with just the radiant heat. I've tried everything but eventually the distribution fan comes on. How do I do it?
Mine has no such feature. The distribution fan will turn off when the stove reaches it's set temperature. I'd rather have the distribution fan running to get the heat out of the stove and into the room. If I'm in the room I set it very low to reduce the noise.
I set the igniter to manual after it fires up and drop the temp to below room temperature and force to stove to idle and not run the blower. Now if I remember correctly the blower will come on to not allow the exhaust to get to hot. Harman may well have changed the programming on the new boards.

Manual mode, with stove mode settings less thsn 4 or 5 (not 100% sure) keeps the distribution fan off. Less efficient obviously but gives you a flame to look at without driving up room temps too quickly.
