Furnace Installation  
To ensure a safe installation, it  
is recommended that this furnace be  
installed by a qualified installer.  
The sheet metal top and sides can be  
easily removed to reduce the chance of dents  
or scratches on the painted surfaces.  
Inspect Gasket prior to re-  
installing heat exchanger.  
To remove the sheet metal, first lift off the top  
section. Now, the sides can be removed by  
lifting up and out away from the furnace.  
To lighten the SFꢁ600, the oil burner  
heat exchanger should be removed. Do so by  
first removing the sheet metal as described  
above. Remove the front sheet metal by first  
removing the burner collar. Now remove the  
the two long bolts on each side of the heat  
exchanger.(Figure B) The entire unit can now  
be lifted off and moved separately.  
Caution: This furnace must not be  
installed closer than 24 inches at the  
sides and 30 inches from the rear to  
combustible materials. The unit may  
Figure A  
only be installed on a non-combustible floor surface such as  
concrete floor or concrete pad on dirt floor. The hot air plenum  
must be a minimum of 2 inches from the ceiling or other com-  
bustibles above the plenum.  
Locate the furnace as close to the chimney as possible while  
still maintaining the above clearances. No more than 8 feet of stovepipe  
should be used, including two or less 90° elbows. All horizontal runs of  
pipe should have a minimum ꢀ/4 in. rise per foot. All stove pipe must be  
ꢁ4 gauge or thicker.  
(4) ꢀꢁin. bolts, two on  
each side, attach the heat  
exchanger to the furnace.  
When re-installing the heat exchanger, inspect the gasket around  
the furnace opening, and replace if necessary. (Figure A) Place the heat  
exchanger in position and secure with the long bolts and nuts. Be sure the  
gasket is compressed evenly.  
Re-install the sheet metal by sliding the groove on the bottom of  
each side panel over the steel lip on the furnace. The top sheet metal  
piece holds the sides in place. The SFꢁ600 front cover gets installed by  
angling the bottom edge over the lip on the top of the firebox. The side  
edges must slide into the grooves on each side and pushed in flush with  
the sides and top. This front piece is held in place by the black ring which  
gets tightened around the burner pipe. Do not over tighten as this will  
push the sheet metal in too far.

the nose. Next, slide the oil burner into the pipe and  
secure it by tightening the four bolts around the col-  
lar. Be sure to tighten the bolts evenly to locate the  
oil burner in the center of the pipe. The final set-up  
of the oil burner should be done by an experienced  
oil burner technician with the proper equipment. Re-  
fer to the SFꢁ600 wiring diagram on page ꢀ0 and the  
oil burner manual for proper burner set-up. There is

NOTE: Oil the hinge at the begining of the heating  
season with a light oil.  
The junction box is best mounted on the side  
of the furnace about ꢀ in. back and 8 in. from the top  
of the sheet metal side. (fig. C or D) If this location is

mounting The blower And Filter box  
Position the filter box between the brackets on the rear of the fur-  
nace, with the bottom of the box resting on the flange at the bottom of  
the furnace. Insert the mounting clips into the bracket slots to secure  
the filter box. (see Figure 2) Next, install the blower brackets onto the  
blower being sure to install the rubber feet into the brackets. NOTE:  
On the SF3500, install the blower mount and blower before the filter  
box. All hardware, brackets, etc. for the blower, will be found in the car-  
ton with the blower. Next, position the blower in the filter box, centered  
behind the inlet hole and allow approximately ꢀ/8 in. space between  
the rear of the furnace and the blower outlet. Now, install the filter rail  
onto the filter box. NOTE: The filter rail is best installed on the side  
toward the shaker handle, so that any pipes from the hot water coil do  
not interfere with filter installation or removal.  
NOTE: Before proceeding with the installation of the access door, it is suggested that the wiring be com-  
pleted.  
The access door is installed by slipping the flange on the bottom of the access door over the bottom rail  
of the filter box opening, then push the top of the door against the top of the filter box opening and secure  
with a sheet metal screw.

Furnace Installation - wiring  
wiring  
Before beginning any wiring, study the appropriate wiring diagram for your unit. Also refer back to fig-  
ures C or D for an example of what the completed job will look like. It is your reponsibility to follow all state  
and local electrical codes. Locate the best place to route the power for the blower, and drill a 7/8” hole in the  
filter box. This hole size will accomodate a “romex” connector. Attach the blower and power wires as shown on  
the appropriate wiring diagram.  
Once you have the plenum installed, the fan control with high limit switch can be installed. The Fan  
control/high limit switch is packaged with a jumper between the two sets of terminals inside. REMOVE THE  
JUMPER WIRE INSIDE THE FAN CONTROL. The fan control should be installed in the right side of the ple-  
num and ꢀꢁ to ꢀ8 inches above the top of the furnace. A separate conduit should be run from the fan control to  
the junction box.  
Mount the thermostat in a central location of the area you want to heat. Run two wires to the junction  
box, from the heating terminals on the thermostat. ꢁꢁ gauge or thicker wire is acceptable.  
The next step is to run a ꢀꢁ0 volt line from your breaker panel to the junction box. Attach all wires ac-  
cording to the corresponding wiring diagram, and install the relay into the junction box. DO NOT TURN ON  
THE BREAKER UNTIL ALL WIRING IS COMPLETE AND THE RELAY IS SECURED.

Adjusting Automatic draft  
Control - In order for your new furnace  
to function, the controls must be prop-  
erly adjusted. The heat output is regu-  
lated by the automatic draft control, on  
Figure 5  
the bottom door of the furnace. Refer to the illustrations at right; The electric draft  
motor (A) opens and closes the flapper door (B). The flapper door opens to feed  
more air to the fire and closes to reduce the air to the fire. The maximum air flow  
can be adjusted by turning the adjuster bolt (C) counter-clockwise for more air and  
clockwise for less air. NOTE: To preserve motor life, all adjustments of this bolt  
should be done while the flapper door is in the closed position. The idle adjuster  
(D) controls the minimum amount of air that enters the firebox when the flapper  
door is closed. Adjustment is made by turning the adjuster vertical for zero air, or  
horizontal for maximum idle air. It is best to start at a medium setting as shown at  
right.

the plenum reaches ꢁ00 degrees. do not change this setting.  
The center pointer adjusts the temperature at which the blower  
starts. A good initial setting for this is ꢀ50 degrees. The pointer  
on the left is to adjust the temperature at which the blower  
stops. A good initial setting for this pointer is ꢀ00 to ꢀꢀ0 degrees.  
If it is set too low, the air will feel cool coming out of the registers  
at the end of the blower cycle.

Thermostat- Set the thermostat to the desired tempera-  
ture. When more heat is needed, the thermostat opens the au-  
tomatic draft control flapper door. This allows air into the firebox,  
which raises the output of the fire. When the temperature in the  
plenum reaches the set temperature of the center pointer on the  
fan control, the blower will begin blowing heated air through the  
Figure 7  
ductwork. When the thermostat reaches it’s setpoint, the automatic draft control closes  
the flapper door, thus, reducing the output of the fire. As the temperature in the ple-  
num drops to the set point of the left pointer on the fan control, the blower will stop. A  
solid fuel fire cannot cease output immediately, therefore, your room temperature may  
exceed the thermostat setting at times. You also may notice times that the blower runs  
for a short period even though the draft control is closed. Again, you can’t just stop a  
wood or coal fire instantly, and temperature may build enough to run the blower. This is  
normal and will be noticed more with coal than with wood.

Operating Instructions  
SF 2600 - Oil Operation as backup -  
furnaces may be loaded with wood as full as possible  
for high output and long burn time. Then close the door  
and allow all the wood to catch fire. The bottom door may  
again be opened to speed the process. The object is to  
get the wood burning well enough so it will not go out  
when the automatic draft shuts back to the idle setting.  
NOTE: When the bottom door is open, the automatic draft  
cannot function to reduce the amount of air to the firebox.  
For this reason, the furnace could overheat.  
The SF ꢁ600 offers a unique option to the homeowner.  
The ability to have an efficient oil backup heat source  
built right into a wood/coal furnace.  
The operation of the oil burner as a backup system is  
as simple as setting a thermostat. To use the oil portion  
of your furnace as a backup proceed as follows:  
ꢀ. Set the wood/coal thermostat to the comfort level  
you desire.  
ꢁ. Set the oil thermostat to a level 5 to ꢀ0 degrees  
but not less than 3 degrees lower than the wood/coal  
thermostat.  
That’s all there is to it. The idea is that when the wood/  
coal portion can no longer maintain the level set on that  
thermostat the oil portion will come on and maintain the  
temperature set on the oil thermostat.  
wArNINg:NEvErlEAvEThEbOTTOmdOOr  
OPEN whIlE FurNACE IS uNATTENdEd!  
After the wood is burning well, close the bottom door.  
The automatic draft control will now regulate the fire.  
The idle control (as shown on Fig. 6) on the flapper door  
must be adjusted so the fire does not go out or overheat.  
Experience will dictate the best setting. Normally the  
two manual draft controls on the loading door are kept  
closed to burn wood.  
SF 2600 - Oil Operation Only - In the oil only  
mode, simply turn the wood/coal thermostat to its lowest  
setting and select the comfort level you desire on the oil  
thermostat. The SF ꢁ600 will now act as a standard oil  
burner and maintain your chosen temperature. NOTE:  
It is recommended that the wood/ coal fire in the lower  
portion of the furnace be out or nearly out before going  
to “oil only” operation.  
Starting A Coal Fire • Use the same procedure as  
for wood except do not go to large diameter wood. Use  
wood about ꢁ” in diameter maximum. This size will form  
very hot wood coals in less time. Here again, the bottom  
door may be opened to speed the process. When a  
substantial bed of red wood coals are developed, start  
adding a thin layer of coal. Pea or nut sized coal is better  
for starting a fire than stove coal. When the first layer  
is burning with some blue flame, continue to add thin  
layers of coal until there is a solid bed of burning coal.  
Let each layer burn a blue flame before adding another  
layer. Layers can be added until the bed is approximately  
ten inches deep. This is about at the top of the firebrick.  
Most users find that if they keep the two manual draft  
controls open about one quarter turn, it helps keep the  
gasses burned off.  
Curing Paint - During the first few hours of burning,  
a blue smoke will be observed rising from the painted  
surface of the furnace. It is advisable to increase the  
amount of fresh air in the room during this breaking-in  
period. This may be achieved by opening doors, win-  
dows, etc. Don’t be alarmed. This is normal.  
Starting a wood Fire - Open the bottom door  
to increase the draft. Take about eight sheets of  
newspaper, crumbled into balls and place on top of  
the grates. Next, lay some fine kindling on top of the  
paper. This kindling must be dry and no larger than 3/4”  
diameter, and should be layered in a criss-cross pattern  
to allow good air flow. Then, lay some slightly larger  
pieces (ꢁ” diameter) of wood on top of the kindling.  
Light the paper at the bottom just inside the door. Now  
close loading door and allow kindling and wood to catch  
fire. After about five minutes, close the bottom door and  
open the loading door an inch or two for a few seconds  
before opening completely. This method will allow the  
smoke to clear away from the door opening. Now the  
fire should be well established and ready for some  
larger wood. Add four or five pieces of 3” to 4” diameter  
wood. Close loading door and open bottom door again.  
Let burn for about 5 minutes. Now open loading door  
using the same method as before, always closing the  
bottom door before opening the top door. Now load the  
firebox with wood to the desired fullness. All Harman  
NOTE; Close the bottom door as soon as the desired  
coal bed is made.  
loading - Coal should never be added unless there is  
a reasonably hot fire. The coal bed should be bright and  
vigorous. If the fire is burning hot and there is a deep  
bed of coals, full loads of coal can be added at any time.  
However, if there is not a deep bed of coals, it is best to  
add small amounts of coal at first.  
Shaking - Shaking should be done only when there  
is a well-established fire. The frequency of shaking will  
depend on the degree of burning. Shaking should be  
done whenever the furnace is refueled. Best results for  
shaking Harman grates will occur when short choppy  
strokes are used rather than long even strokes.

Operating Instructions/Safety Tips  
nace into the room with possible fatal consequences.  
The amount of shaking is critical. Too much will disrupt the  
fire bed and too little will restrict the air flow.  
With the exception of start up or increasing heat from a  
low fire, or removing ashes, the bottom door should be  
kept closed. Never install a Harman furnace to a chimney  
with a history of down drafts.  
KEEP ChIldrEN AwAY - mAY CAuSE SErIOuS  
burNS.  
The proper amount normally occurs when red coals first  
start to drop through the grates into the ash pan.  
Ashes - Ashes should never be allowed to accumulate  
in the ash pit so that they in any way impede the flow of  
combustion air to the fire. Excess ash accumulation can  
cause the fire to go out and also can cause severe damage  
to the grates because of the absence of a cooling flow of  
air beneath them.  
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight  
fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed  
on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away  
from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If  
the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise  
locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed  
container [outside the dwelling) until all cinders have  
thoroughly cooled.

Chimney Problems  
Not Enough draft - Chimney is too low. A chimney  
should be two feet higher than anything ten feet around  
it.  
Air may be leaking in around a loose fitting clean-out  
door, flue pipe may not be tight at joints, or the masonry  
may be defective.  
Chimney may be blocked with creosote or bird nests,  
etc.  
Improper sized chimney or stovepipe.  
Too many elbows.  
Distance of more than eight feet between furnace and  
chimney.  
draft Control Settings - The idle air adjustment on the  
flapper door may need to be adjusted slightly less for coal  
than for wood. Here again, experience will dictate the best  
setting. The maximum air adjustment bolt can be set at  
the maximum position for quick recov-  
ery. When a longer than normal burn time is desired, the  
maximum air adjustment can be reduced. Never adjust  
the maximum air bolt when the flapper door is opened.  
See Fig. 6 on page ꢀꢀ.  
down drafts - Trees or other topographical barriers may  
impede the chimneys operation causing a down draft  
condition to exist. This can also be caused by adjacent  
buildings or chimneys.  
Safety Tips  
When opening the loading door, it should be cracked  
open slightly for a few seconds to allow oxygen to burn  
any gases that may be present and to allow smoke to be  
drawn away from the door.  
Creosote and Condensation - If creosote or  
condensation runs out of the chimney or stovepipe,  
check the following.  
Chimney cap or lining may be defective.  
Furnace may be too far from chimney, not allowing the  
chimney to get warm.  
Wood being burned may be green or wet.  
Unit may be too large for home causing wood to be  
burned too slow.  
Whenever the bottom door is open, it should be closed  
before opening the loading door. This is to increase draft  
through the loading door and prevent excess smoke from  
escaping.  
The firebox should never be filled with excessive coal so  
that the flue exit is blocked or impeded in any way. Burn-  
ing coal generates carbon monoxide. If the flue gas exit is  
blocked, the carbon monoxide can be forced out of the fur-  
Excessive draft - This can be controlled with a  
barometric draft control on the stovepipe.

Cleaning heat-Exchanger (SF2600 Only) -  
Remove oil burner by removing four mounting  
bolts, Burner can be tied up to ceiling to avoid having  
to remove the wiring. Next, remove the collar from the  
front cover and remove front cover by tilting out from  
top first. Now the heat exchanger will be exposed.  
Next, remove the four nuts that hold on the cover, then  
remove the cover. This will expose the inside of the heat  
exchanger. Remove spirals by simply pulling them out  
and clean the tubes with a brush. Reinstall spirals so  
they are flush with the end of the tube and reassemble  
unit in reverse of disassembly.

Plumbing diagram For Thermo-Siphon method - maximum distance = 10 Feet  
Place one of the supplied nuts on each leg of the coil. Place the coil through the holes on the back of  
the furnace, and adjust the nuts so that the pipes stick out about ꢀ¼ to ꢀ½ inches from the rear of the  
furnace. Place the flat washers and gaskets over each pipe and tighten the nuts. You are now ready  
to run the piping.  
This simple method is the most economical. However, the existing water heater must be less than  
ꢀ0 feet from the furnace. The water inlet, where the Temperature / Pressure Relief valve is located,  
must be higher than the top leg of the water coil. The water heater should be elevated, if necessary,  
to allow for proper thermo-siphon action.(The method by which hot water will circulate automatically  
through the system.)  
A. Shut off the water heater and the water supply to it. Drain the tank completely.  
B. Remove the Temp. / Presure relief valve and discard. Install a short 3/4 in. nipple and tee (ꢀ) along  
with a new relief valve.  
C. run 3/4 in. copper tubing between the water tank and the top leg of the coil. Install a 3/4 in vent  
elbow and automatic “float type” air vent (2) in the high point of the line. Within 2 feet of the top leg of  
the coil, install a ꢀ50 lb. pressure relief valve (5). Run 3/4 in. tubing from the release exit of both relief  
valves downward (3) so the hot water can escape in the event of an overheat situation.  
D. Remove the drain valve, at the bottom of the tank. Install a short 3/4 in. nipple and tee and re-  
install the drain valve to the tee (4). Run 3/4 in. tubing between the drain / tee combination and the  
lower leg of the water coil. After all of the connections are secured, refill the water tank. Turn on the  
water heater only after the tank has been completely refilled.

Circulating Pump method - distance = 10 Feet or more  
This method is used when the water heater tank is more than ten feet away from the furnace or the fur-  
nace is on a higher level than the water heater tank. In addition to a circulator pump, you may want to add  
a aquastat to thermostatically control the pump according to water temperature. This is optional and not  
necessary if the circulator pump is left run continuously. Another option is a gate valve placed near the  
pump to control the rate of water flow.  
A. Shut off the water heater and the water supply to it. Drain the tank completely.  
B. Remove the Temp. / Presure relief valve and discard. Install a short 3/4 in. nipple and tee (ꢀ) along with  
a new relief valve.  
C. Remove the drain valve, at the bottom of the tank. Install a short 3/4 in. nipple and tee and re-install the  
drain valve to the tee (4).  
D. Install a circulating pump as shown (6). Run 3/4” copper tubing from the circulating pump to the lower  
leg of the water coil. This is where the optional gate valve (5) can be installed to regulate flow.  
E. Install a 3/4 in. tee and a ꢀ50 lb. Pressure relief valve (7) in the top leg within two feet of the coil.  
F. Complete the 3/4 in. line by running it back to the tee at the top of the water heater tank. Be sure to  
install the 3/4 in. vent elbow and automatic air vent (ꢁ) at the high point of the line. The optional aquastat  
can be installed in this line, a maximum of 6 feet from the furnace. This aquastat must close on rise in tem-  
perature and must be hooked up to turn on the circulator when the water temperature reaches ꢀꢁ0° f.  
G. After securing all connections, refill the tank with water and then, ONLY THEN, turn on the power to the  
water heater.

Tests for CO² must be made without a fire in the wood/ coal firebox, and with all doors and draft controls  
completely closed. The burner should be fired for several minutes prior to taking a reading. Normal CO²  
reading is ꢀꢀ to ꢀꢁ with a stack temperature of 300 degrees or less. This would give you an efficiency of 84
