I have a Harman XXV cleaning question.

[spud14901]

I am doing the annual cleaning if my Harman XXV Stove. It is not very hard but the directions say to remove the right rear panel to locate it. I did that as I had to do that in order to clean the fan unit and clean the chimney pipe. The problem is that I cannot locate the Feeder cover to vacuum the fines. The directions say that both rear panels have screws to remove the panels but only the right side has two screws. The left side has rivets and I cannot get the left rear panel off. Can anybody help?

Thats odd. Mine has screws like the book says.

The fine box is just above the chain on the left side as you are looking from the back. I had a hard time looking for it this year as well....thought it was easier to get to last time for some reason. Mine also has screws for the two back panes to come off. Make sure you loosen the bottom rail (should have 3 screws) to make it easier to get the other panels off.

The fines box is located on the right side of the stove(as you face the front of the stove) in the rear. The distinctive feature of the fines box cover is that it has a large silver wingnut holding the cover on.

The XXV still uses a chain drive?

mine is 2006 I believe......yes.

they stopped doing the chain drive a few years ago with the advent of the Ultralight feed system........you'll know pretty fast which you have......there are TWO panels on the rear which come off, both are held in place by screws....once you remove them both, you'll see the fines cover on the left (facing the stove from the rear).....FWIW, its in roughly the same place whether its a chain drive or not.

Thanks. I found it and cleaned out the pellet dust and fines. I cannot believe I didn't see the screws on that side of the rear panel.
