Automatic Operation - Harman P61A Freestanding Pellet Stove Installation & Operating Manual

The P61A is a fully automatic stove that features two
operating modes; stove temperature Mode and room
temperature Mode. In Stove Temperature Mode, you select
a burn rate and the stove will remain at the same burn rate
regardless of the room temperature.
In the Room Temperature Mode the stove constantly monitors
the temperature in the room and adjusts the size of the fire
and the heat output of the stove so that the room is kept at
a constant temperature. Room mode, in the AUTO position,
has the added advantage of turning the stove off if no heat
is required and turning the stove on again when the room
temperature drops below your desired room temperature.
room temperature Mode
Most consumers use the stove in the Room Temperature
Mode because it is the easiest and most efficient method
of keeping the room at a given temperature. In the Room
Temperature Mode, the Room Sensing Probe constantly
monitors room temperature. As the weather changes outside
and your home needs varying amounts of heat to be at a
desired temperature, the stove will automatically increase fire
size and heat output so that a constant even temperature is
maintained. If the weather warms up and no heat is required,
the stove will gradually shut down. When the house cools
down, the stove will automatically bring the room temperature
to the precise temperature you desire.
In the Room Temperature Mode you can select either auto
or Manual modes for the igniter, using the igniter toggle
switch. When the toggle switch is in the Auto position, the
igniter, located inside the burn pot, is ready to automatically
light the fire when required. When the toggle switch set to the
Manual position the stove can be lit manually with either a gel
or a wax type fire starter. (see lighting instructions on page
19.) With the igniter toggle switch set in the Manual position
the stove will automatically adjust heat output, but the stove
will not automatically shut down if no heat is required. Instead
it will go to its lowest setting and remain there. The Manual
position on the igniter toggle switch lets you light the stove
manually, should the igniter fail for any reason. Secondly if
you are using the Harman battery back up system, the Manual
setting will prevent the stove from turning off and on during
a power failure, which would drain the back up battery, and
possibly cause damage to the back-up or the stove.
In the Room Temperature Mode, the distribution blower speed
can be increased or decreased by adjusting the Room Temp/
Off/Stove Temp dial between L and H. As output of the stove
increases, the speed of the blower will increase automatically
to insure that more heat is transferred out into the room. The
distribution blower will shut off as the room reaches the set
temperature, this will prevent overheating of the room.
