How to clean and Maintain the Harman 52i pellet insert (with touch control)

Harman Accentra 52i Pellet Insert Maintenance Guide | Step-by-Step Tutorial by Byron Video Overview The Harman Accentra 52i-TC, known for its smart Easy Touch Controls and up to 50% less required maintenance, is a top-tier pellet insert, and Byron’s expertise makes it easy to keep it in top shape. From adjusting burn modes to cleaning the exhaust, this video is your go-to resource for hassle-free maintenance. Using the Easy Touch Control System Byron starts by explaining the Harman 52i’s Easy Touch Control panel, a user-friendly interface that simplifies operation. He demonstrates how to navigate the digital touchscreen to adjust settings and monitor performance. The video highlights two primary burn modes: Constant Burn and Room Sensing. Constant Burn Mode: This mode maintains a steady fire regardless of room temperature, ideal for consistent heating. Byron shows how to select this mode on the touchscreen and adjust the feed rate to control flame size. He advises waiting 15 minutes after startup before fine-tuning to ensure the stove stabilizes, preventing over- or under-feeding. Room Sensing Mode: This mode uses a temperature probe to adjust the fire based on room temperature, perfect for maintaining a specific comfort level. Byron explains how to set the desired temperature and check the probe’s placement for accurate readings, ensuring efficient fuel use. Toggling the Igniter: Auto to Manual If your igniter fails and a repair technician isn’t available, Byron demonstrates how to switch the igniter from Auto to Manual mode. In Auto mode, the stove automatically feeds pellets and ignites them using the hot surface igniter, typically taking 5–12 minutes to start. In Manual mode, you can light the stove without the igniter, using a fire-starting gel. Byron walks through the steps: 1.Set the igniter toggle to Manual on the control panel. 2. Place a small amount of fire-starting gel in the burn pot with a handful of pellets. 3. Light the gel and allow the fire to establish before closing the door. This workaround ensures you can keep your stove running until professional service is available, avoiding downtime during cold weather. Filling the Pellet Hopper Byron shows how to fill the 64.5-pound hopper using a sturdy steel bucket. He emphasizes using high-quality pellets, like Hamar’s Hot Ones, to minimize ash and maintain efficiency. The process includes: 1. Opening the tinted hopper lid with its LED light for visibility. 2. Pouring pellets slowly from the bucket to avoid spillage. 3. Checking the fuel level through the illuminated lid to avoid overfilling, which can jam the auger. Byron advises cleaning the hopper periodically to remove dust and ensure smooth pellet feeding. Cleaning the Soot Area and Exhaust Regular cleaning is crucial for the Harman 52i’s performance. Byron demonstrates how to access and clean the soot-prone areas by removing the three inner cast-iron panels: 1. Removing Inner Panels: Open the side doors and release the wing thumb screws to remove the panels, exposing the firebox and exhaust areas. 2. Accessing Swing Latches: Locate the two swing latches behind the panels, which secure the exhaust compartments. Byron shows how to release these latches to access the inner compartments. 3. Cleaning the Exhaust: Use a vacuum and 4in round dryer vent/ pellet vent brush to remove soot and ash from the vent. Byron highlights the importance of clearing the burn pot holes and igniter area to prevent ignition issues. Venting and Chimney Maintenance Byron explains the venting setup, which in this installation includes a 2-foot vertical rise and 2-foot horizontal run out the wall. He demonstrates how to clean the vent pipe: 1. Locating the Vent Access: Inside the pellet stove front door, behind the panels. 2. Using a Chimney Brush: Insert a 3-inch or 4-inch chimney brush (depending on your vent size) into the exhaust pipe. Byron shows how to gently scrub the pipe to remove creosote and ash buildup, ensuring proper airflow. 3. Checking the Vent Termination: Inspect the outside vent cap for blockages, ensuring it’s at least 12 inches above grade and 9–48 inches from windows or doors, per Harman’s guidelines. Byron recommends using Pellet Vent Pro piping for a secure, airtight system.
