Automatic Operation - Harman PELLET P61A 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.
