P61A Pellet Stove

3-90-05822R29_JR15_04/14

 automatic operation

The P61A is a fully automatic stove that features two operating 

modes; 

constant burn Mode

  and 

room temperature 

Mode

. In Constant Burn Mode, you select a burn rate and 

the stove will remain at the same burn rate regardless of the 

room temperature. 
In the Room Temperature 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 efficient method 

of keeping the room at a given 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 fire 

size and heat output so that a constant even temperature is 

maintained. If the weather warms up and no heat is required, 

the stove will gradually shut down. When 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 

19.) 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/Constant Burn dial between L and H.  As output 

of the stove increases, the speed of the blower will increase 

automatically to insure 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.

room temperature Mode: 

This setting, see above, will produce 

a room temperature of 70 degrees with the distribution blower at 

medium speed.

do not connect to anY air distribution 

duct or sYsteM.

such as gasoline, naPtha, or engine oil.
