P68 Pellet Stove
Stove Temperature Mode
In the Stove Temperature Mode and with the igniter
toggle switch in the Auto position, the stove will light
automatically and can be adjusted to the desired setting
using the same temperature control dial as is used in
the Room Temperature Mode. The heat output and fuel
consumption will remain constant regardless of room
temperature. The settings from 1 to 7 on the inner ring
of the dial provide for relative heat output settings with 1
being low and 7 being the maximum.
In Stove Temper atur e Mode the s tove will no t
automatically shut off unless the stove runs out of fuel
or is turned off.
Never pull the plug to shut down the stove. This will
stop the combustion blower and smoke will escape
through window and door gaskets.
When the igniter
toggle switch is set to manual in this
mode, the distribution blower will not turn on with a
temperature dial setting from 1 to 5. 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
#5 or less, the distribution fan will not operate. A #5 on
the temperature dial and a #5 on the feed adjuster is
approximately 80% output. It is not necessary to oper-
ate the distribution blower below this point. Therefore,
the control allows a higher burn rate ( a larger viewing
fire) without an excess of hot air blowing into the room.
An example of when to use the Manual Stove Tem-
perature Mode is if you want to watch a large fire and
the room is already up to temperature. The Stove Tem-
perature 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 automati-
cally come on when the ESP Temperature reaches
350
o
F, or 81% output.
Feed Adjuster Knob
For most premium grade pellet fuels the Feed Adjuster
Knob should be set at 4. If higher ash fuels are used
the setting should be increased to 5 or 6. Also higher
settings are re quired if you would like to ge t the
maximum heat output from the stove. At the maximum
burn rate (with the temperature dial on 7/90° and the
feed adjuster at 6) there should be 1" or more of ash on
the front of the burn pot. If there is less than 1" of ash,
turn the feed adjuster knob down to a lower setting.
Thi s setting, see bel ow, wi ll produce conti nuous
maximum heat output with the distribution blower at full
speed.
Stove Temperature Mode
This setting, see below, will produce continuous medium
heat output with the distribution blower at low speed.

Shut Down Procedure
The best way to shut down the stove is simply let it run
out of pellets, the stove will shut down automatically.
Alternatively, you can turn the Mode Selector to “off”.
This will cause the fire to gradually die down and go
out. The fire will not go out immediately and may take
more than an hour to fully shut down.
If the stove is left to run out of fuel, you may get a 6 blink
status light. If this happens simply reset the control
board by turning the mode selector to OFF and back
ON.
