Automatic Operation - Harman Stove Company Accentra Installation & Operating Manual

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
The Accentra 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 Accentra 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.

Igniter switch to "AuTO"
room Temperature mode
In "Room Temp Mode" heat output is controlled
automatically 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 limited by the feed rate setting. The
control will feed what it needs to meet the demand, UP
TO the rate allowed by the Feed Adjuster dial setting.
The unit's maximum burn rate should not create less
than 1" of ash on the burn pot front edge (See Fig.4).
Overfeeding is not a safety concern, but fuel may be
wasted if unburned pellets fall into the ash pan.
In "Room Temp Mode" a constant fuel consumption
rate is sacrificed for exact room temperature. Therefore,
as it gets colder more pellets 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 (See Fig 2). The unit's
maximum feed rate should not create less than 1" of
ash on the burn pot front edge (See Fig 4).
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 to "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.
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 simply
let it run out of pellets, then the stove will shut down
automatically.
