P68 Pellet Stove
P68 AUTOMATIC IGNITION/OPERATION
Room Temperature Mode:
This setting, see above, will
produce a room temperature of 70 degrees with the distribution
blower at medium speed.
The P68 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 R oo m Temper atur e 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
e ff ic ie nt me thod of kee ping the r oo m at a give n
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 size and heat output of the fire
so that a constant even temperature is maintained. If the
weather warms up and no heat is required the stove will
gradually shut down. W hen 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 17.) 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
inc reas e automa tica lly to insur e 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.
