P61A Pellet Stove
3-90-05822R29_JR15_04/14
The P61A Pellet Stove is capable of manual operation. This also allows the operator to manually
control operation during an emergency (i.e. igniter failure, when using a 502H battery backup,
as opposed to the 512H, 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 "Starting First Fire" under the
Automatic Start Up section. Turn to "Manual" position when
the ignition cycle has started.
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. The blower will
shut off completely if the temperature on the ESP is too low.

constant burn 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 #5 or less,
the distribution fan will not operate. A #5 on the temperature
dial and a #5 on the feed limit is approximately 80% output.
It is not necessary to operate the distribution blower below
this point. This control setting 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 Constant Burn Mode
is if you want to watch a large fire and the room is already
up to temperature. The Constant Burn 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 °F, or 81% output.
note: when starting the unit in the "auto" mode and
switching to "Manual", the ignition cycle must be
allowed to begin prior to making the switch.
Manual operation
This setting will produce a large viewing fire without a
distribution blower operating.
Room Temperature Mode: This
setting, see below, will produce a
room temperature of 70 degrees
with the distribution blower at
medium speed.
