The P61A 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
ded after the fire is out, the P61A 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.
Ignitor switch to "AUTO"
Room Temperature Mode
In "Room Temp Mode" heat output is controlled auto-
matically by the Room Sensing Probe. When the Room Sens-
ing Probe calls for heat, the stove will increase output. When
the Room Sensing Probe is getting close to the set tempera-
ture, 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 #4, can be increased if hgher burn
rates are necessary. The unit's
maximum
burn rate should not
create less then 1" of ash on the burn pot front edge. See

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 b e g 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
everythrng will stop.
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 es-
cape.
The best wav to shut down the stove is simply let it run
out of pellets, then the stove will shut down automatically.
