The PC45 corn/pellet stove is more than just automatic ignition, it is also automatic temperature
control. The automatic system will allow the fire size to be adjusted to match the heating needs and
even put the fire out if necessary. If heat is needed after the fire is out, the PC 45 will automatically
re-ignite and adjust the fire size to match the heating need. The totally automatic room sensor
mode is recommended because of its efficiency. The unit can be switched between "AUTO" and
"MANUAL" at any time during operation.

Room Temperature Mode: This setting will produce
a room temperature of 70 degrees with the distribution blower
at medium speed.
Stove Temperature mode
This setting will produce medium heat with the
distribution blower on "low".

This setting will produce continuous maximum heat
output with the distribution blower at full speed.
AuTOmATIC IgNITION/OPErATION
Igniter switch to "AuTO"
room Temperature mode
In "Room Temp Mode" heat output is controlled automati-
cally by the Room Sensing Probe. When the Room Sensing
Probe calls for heat, the stove will increase output. When the
Room Sensing Probe is getting close to the set temperature,
the stove will begin to level off output and keep the fire burning
at just the right temperature to maintain that setting.
High output is determined by the feed rate setting. This
setting, generally on #2 (corn) or #4 (pellet), can be increased
if higher burn rates are necessary.
When burning corn the feed rate setting can be adjusted
anywhere within the yellow range with a #3 setting being the
maximum setting, #1 the lowest setting. This setting will vary
depending on the quality of corn used.
When burning pellets the feed rate setting can be adjusted
within the full range between #1 on the low side to #6 on the
high side.
Overfeeding is not a safety concern, but the fire may be
pushed off the burnpot and extinguish in the ash pan.
In "Room Temp Mode" a constant fuel consumption rate is
sacrificed for exact room temperature. Therefore, as it gets
colder more fuel will be burned automatically.
The distribution blower speed will vary according to the
position of the mode selector pointer, and fire size.
Igniter switch to "AuTO"
Stove Temperature mode
This allows for automatic ignition upon start-up only. The
unit can then be set at any desired setting. The heat output
and fuel consumption will remain constant regardless of
room temperature.
The unit's low burn or maintenance setting is as low as it
will go. It will not go out unless it runs out of fuel or is turned
off.
Shut-down Procedure
To kill the fire or stop burning the stove, turn the Mode
Selector to "OFF". This will cause the fire to diminish and
burn out. When the fire burns out and the stove cools down
everything will stop. NOTE: The combustion blower
motor will be the last component to stop. This insures
that all fuel in the burnpot and ashes located in the ash
pan are completely cold before shut down of the com-
bustion motor.
If you pull the plug to shut down the stove, all motors
will stop. This may cause incomplete combustion and smoke
in the firebox. If the load door is opened the smoke may
escape.
The best way to shut down the stove is to simply let it
run out of fuel, then the stove will shut down automatically.
