Automatic Ignition - Harman P43 Owners Manual Care And Operation

E. Automatic Ignition
Figure 4.6
1. Fines are small pieces of broken pellets (sawdust). Fines do
not flow easily and often build up on the hopper funnel bottom
angles. These fines can be pushed into the feeder opening and
then fill the hopper with pellets. As the system works, they will
be burned.
2. The "TEST" cycle will operate the feed motor for exactly one
minute. Turning to "TEST" again and again may load too much
fuel into the burn pot causing excessive smoke on start-up.
3. The firebox low pressure switch will not allow the auger motor
or the igniter element to operate if the view door is open.
4. Adjust Feed Limit. If this is your first fire or you are trying different
pellets, set the feed limit to #4, Figure 4.6 This is a conservative
number and will probably need to be increased. After you know a
Feed Limit setting that works well, use that setting. Remember,
if your feed rate is too high you may waste fuel.
5. This is usually a weekly maintenance procedure. Cleaning the
burn pot with the scraper with a small amount of new fuel in the
bottom is not a problem. First, scrape the ashes off the front of
the burn pot into the ash pan. Then scrape the holed surface
downward into the burn pot. When the stove feeds, these
scrapings will be pushed out by the feeder.
6. The ash pan can hold the ashes from approximately 1 ton of
premium fuel. This means the ashes will only need to be emptied
a few times a year.
7. Setting the feed limit # for maximum burn: With the unit burning
in "AUTO", turn to "Constant Burn" and put the fan on "H". Set
the Temperature Dial to #7. Allow the unit to burn for about 30
minutes and check ash on front of burn pot. Figure 4.7. If the
ash line is larger than 1", turn the feed limit from #4 to #5. Allow
another 30 minutes of burn time and check again. If, at #6 setting,
a 1" or less ash bed is not obtainable, it is not a problem. The
1" ash bed is only at maximum burn rate and during normal
operation, the ash bed will be larger.

Igniter Switch to "AUTO" (up position)
Make sure the unit is plugged into a properly grounded, 120
VAC, 60 Hz electrical source. The power light should be the
only light lit.
Note: Be sure there is no fuel or other combustibles in
the ash pan prior to lighting.
1. Turn Mode Selector to "OFF".
2. Fill hopper with pellets.
3. Clean burn pot with scraper, if necessary.
4. If starting after an empty hopper, turn Feed Limit to "TEST"
(for one 60 second cycle). This will flow pellets into the
auger tube and also allow you to check the motors for
operation.
NOTE: The auger motor will not operate with the view
door open.
5. Turn Feed Limit to #4.
6. Flip the Igniter Switch up into the "AUTO" position.
7. Turn the Temperature Dial to the desired room temperature.
8. Turn Mode Selector to Room Temperature or Constant
Burn mode.
9. Fill hopper with pellets and remove ashes as required.
Keep the hopper lid and firebox doors closed while in
operation. Maintain door seals in good condition. Failure
to do so will affect operation of the appliance and may
permit escape of smoke or gases into the living space
causing smoke detectors to sound.
!
BURNING GARBAGE, USE OF IMPROPER FUELS,
FIRESTARTERS OR ALTERING THE STOVE FOR
HIGHER HEAT OUTPUT MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO
THE STOVE AND COULD RESULT IN A HOUSE FIRE.
USE ONLY APPROVED FUELS AND FOLLOW ONLY
THESE OPERATION GUIDELINES.
!
NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN
FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR
SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR 'FRESHEN UP' A FIRE
IN THIS HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL
AWAY FROM THE HEATER, WHILE IN USE.
