P68 Pellet Stove
The P68 Pellet Stove is capable of manual operation. This also allows the operator
to manually control operation during an emergency (i.e. igniter failure, or when using
certain generators or other auxilliary power source.)
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 "Automatic Operation" on
Page 15. Turn to "Manual" position after the ignition
cycle begins.
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.

Stove temperature 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 #4
or less, the distribution fan will not operate. A #4 on
the temperature dial and a #5 on the feed adjuster 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 Stove
Temperature Mode is if you want to watch a large fire
and the room is already up to temperature. The Stove
Temperature 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
o
F, or 81% output.
Manual ignition/oPeration
Room Temperature Mode:
This
setting, see below, will produce a
room temperature of 70 degrees
with the distribution blower at
medium speed.
This setting will produce a large viewing fire
without a distribution blower operating.
