P68 Pellet Stove
autoMatic ignition/oPeration
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 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 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.
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 18.) 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 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.
