Panels
unpacking
The P61A is bolted (1/4 x 1" hex head bolts) to the skid
to prevent movement during shipping.
To free the stove from the skid you must remove the
hold-down bolts in the rear of the pedestal base.
Removing rear cover panels
The rear cover panels are secured to the stove with three
bolts each. Two of the bolts need only be loosened, not
removed, to remove the panels. It is recommended that
the rear covers are installed after the unit is in place
and the vent pipe is installed, to prevent contact with
hot or moving parts.
Firebrick
Install the three firebricks vertically on the angle bracket
above the burnpot.
Flame guide
Install the cast iron flame guide on top of the burn pot.
Make sure that the flame guide is fully seated on the
vertical sides of the burn pot and that the back of the
guide rests against the body of the stove.
INSTALL EXHAUST VENT AT CLEARANCES
SPECIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER. Most pellet
vent pipe requires a minimum of 3" of clearance to
combustible materials although some can be installed
at 1" clearance.
The room sensor is a small temperature sensor on the
end of a 60" wire. This sensor is installed much like a
standard wall thermostat. Because it is so small, it can
be hidden along the trim of a doorway or even up the
leg of a coffee table. There is a remote room sensor port
on the rear of the unit for easy external connection. Use
standard 18-2 thermostat wire to extend the distance to
the desired location (50' maximum). The room sensor
should be installed in the location where you want to
control the temperature.
In most installations locating the room sensor behind
the stove near the distribution fan works well because
the sensor monitors the room air being drawn into the
distribution fan.
NOTE: Distances of more than 25 feet from the unit
or in another room are not recommended. The room
sensor is essential for the P61A's excellent efficiency.
NOTE: it is recommended that the room sensor
be installed, even if only installed on the rear of the
unit as a return air sensor.
