The Accentra Pellet Stove is capable of manual operation. This allows the operator
to manually control operation and fuel consumption. Manual operation can also be helpful
during an emergency (i.e. igniter failure, or when using certain generators.) The unit can be
switched between "AUTO" and "MANUAL" at any time during operation.
Igniter Switch to "mANuAl"
room Temperature mode
The fire will have to be lit with starting gel and a match,
or started automatically, see "Automatic Operation".
Turn to "Manual" position when the fire is established.
The difference between "AUTO" Room Temperature
Mode and "Manual" Room Temperature Mode is that
the fire will not go out as the room temperature goes
above the control board setting. The unit can only go to
low burn and will remain there until it runs out of fuel or
until more heat is needed and the feed rate increases.
Feed rate adjustments and dial settings are the same
as "AUTO" settings.
Igniter Switch to "mANuAl"
Stove Temperature mode
The advantage of this mode is to allow the operator
to have a large viewing fire without blowing extra heat
into the room.
During operation, with the temperature dial set at #4
or less, the distribution fan will not operate. A #3 on
the temperature dial and a #4 on the feed adjuster is
approximately 80% output. The distribution blower will
not operate below this point. Therefore, there can be
a higher feed rate ( a larger viewing fire) without an
excess of hot air blowing into the room.
An example of when to use the Manual Stove
Temperature Mode is if you want to watch a large fire
and the room is already up to temperature. The Stove
Temperature Mode allows you to have a larger fire and
a lower sound level, without the distribution blower.
NOTE: during the use of this mode, if you
keep increasing the temperature dial setting to
increase the fire size, the distribution blower will
automatically come on when the ESP Temperature
reaches 350
o
F, or 81% output.
NOTE: when starting the unit in the "AuTO"
mode, switching to "mANuAl" can be done at
any time. Once an ignition cycle is started, it will
continue, regardless of mode. There is no need to
wait for the ignition cycle to complete.

Room Temperature Mode:
This setting will produce a room temperature
of 70 degrees with the distribution blower at medium speed.

Shut-down Procedure
Turn the Mode Selector to "OFF". This will allow the fire to diminish and burn out. When the fire burns out
and the ESP cools, everything will stop. Never pull the plug to shut down the stove. This will 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.
