Automatic Operation - Harman Stove Company Accentra Owner's Manual

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.
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.

Igniter 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 higher burn
rates are necessary (Fig. 1). The unit's maximum burn rate
should not create less then 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.
Ignitor 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
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 es-
cape.
The best way to shut down the stove is simply let it run
out of pellets, then the stove will shut down automatically.
